PGA star Justin Thomas aces the philanthropy challenge with his new foundation to assist needy children, junior golf, and military families

Louisville’s first family of golf launched the Justin Thomas Foundation to help needy children, junior golf programs, and military families. 🏌🏾‍♂️⛳️ The great ones never forget their hometown. 🏆

Great to chat with Justin again. The last time we spoke, he was a 14-year-old who’d just won a tournament and his mom was driving him home. He’s still shy and humble even though he’s won a PGA Championship, the FedEx Cup, and has been ranked at the top of the world golf list. Not too shabby for a Saint X boy who “scrambled to play at any course” and met up with teammates at tournaments.

JT loves his hometown adventures when he gets a chance to visit.

Louisville Metro Parks dedicated a golf facility in Justin’s honor.

I asked this nice young man to help me with my swing. He said he will get back to me on that. I could be shooting under 100 in a matter of weeks! #pga #pgachampionship #fedexcup @JustinThomas34 @stxtigers @ValhallaGolf pic.twitter.com/pummT0rWLs
