Justin Thomas Wins Big With Michael Jordan's Help

Justin Thomas won a significant amount of money playing 7 holes with Michael Jordan at age 16.

The PGA golfer recounted this story at the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club in Charlotte.

Thomas was the "bag boy" for Jordan and his friends at Harmony Landing Country Club.

Jordan, who called Thomas "Little Man", decided to organize a betting game for the last 7 holes.

Thomas made four birdies in seven holes, earning him enough money to buy his first car, a Honda Civic.

He received "three or four thousand" dollars from Jordan as his share of the winnings.

Now ranked 17th in the Official World Golf Ranking, Thomas will compete in the Truist Championship in Charlotte.

He has career earnings of over $71 million and 16 PGA Tour wins, including two major championships.

Thomas also discussed LIV Golf, stating that he doesn't have to make decisions about welcoming back players who left for the rival league.

He emphasized the importance of learning from failure, citing his own winning percentage.

Thomas' dream foursome includes his dad, his grandpa, and Tiger Woods.

He expressed his appreciation for the city of Charlotte, where he won his first major championship in 2017.

The Truist Championship will take place from Thursday to Sunday, with Thomas as one of the crowd favorites.

He has a strong connection to the city, which will always be special to him.

Thomas' story about playing with Jordan showcases his talent and dedication to golf from a young age.

He has come a long way since buying his first car with the money he won from Jordan.
