His tweets drew a response from USGA media relations. The tweets began with a sarcastic subtweet of a PGA Tour Communications post that announced the two-stroke penalty against Schenk. The tweets received more than 1,500 likes and over 100 comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_tweets_about_Collin_Morikawa\"><\/span>Justin Thomas tweets about Collin Morikawa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tweet that Justin Thomas posted about Collin Morikawa on Twitter was in response to a tweet that the young Japanese golfer posted last year. The tweet asked Thomas to &#8220;drink milk before cereal&#8221; because he wanted his commitment to the PGA Tour to be clear. However, Thomas did not have the same reaction. His tweet was replied to by Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, who both have an active Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the tweets from Justin Thomas, Collin&#8217;s PGA Tour career is not over yet. The Japanese player is still on the PGA Tour as he plays the LIV tour. Morikawa reportedly plans to play in the first event of the LIV tour in Portland, Oregon this year. Justin Thomas, however, has not tweeted about his decision to leave the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_sarcastically_criticizes_PGA_Tour_prices\"><\/span>Justin Thomas sarcastically criticizes PGA Tour prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Twitter, Justin Thomas sarcastically criticized the PGA Tour prices by using the hashtag #shocker. It&#8217;s not the first time the golfer has complained about the PGA Tour prices. His post sparked a lot of conversation. The first tweet, posted shortly after he threw the first pitch at the Dell Technologies Championship, received more than 1,500 likes and a dozen comments. Thomas responded to some of these comments, taking advantage of the 280-character limit.<\/p>\n<p>The prices of beer and alcohol have been a topic of heated debate, with many golfers complaining about the high prices. A bottle of Michelob Ultra or Stella Artois will set you back $18. A bottle of Kona Big Wave golden ale will set you back $15, while a bottle of water will cost you $6. This is ridiculous! No wonder golfers sarcastically criticize PGA Tour prices on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_rants_about_Ralph_Lauren_sponsorship\"><\/span>Justin Thomas rants about Ralph Lauren sponsorship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of golf, you&#8217;re probably upset that Justin Thomas has rants about his sponsor on Twitter. Ralph Lauren could not have gotten away with having Thomas spout such a racist slur. But there&#8217;s a silver lining for the company. Rather than having Thomas spout anti-gay slurs in public, the brand has a chance to redeem itself and return to its U.S. market.<\/p>\n<p>Since he turned professional, Justin Thomas has worn Ralph Lauren clothing. He reached No. 1 in the world twice and captured the FedEx Cup last year. However, last month, he was booed by his fans when he muttered a homophobic slur on a live microphone. This led to his loss of the sponsorship. In response, Ralph Lauren ended his relationship with the golfer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_apologizes_for_homophobic_slur\"><\/span>Justin Thomas apologizes for homophobic slur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In response to criticism of his behavior during the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii, Justin Thomas apologized for using a homophobic slur. The PGA Tour star, who has won 13 events, was caught on a greenside microphone saying the slur. He was forced to apologize to the audience on television after the incident aired. Thomas later explained that he was not aware he had used the slur, saying it came out of the &#8220;heat of the moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The World No. 3 golfer, who is the defending champion of the Sentry Tournament of Champions, said that he regrets using the slur on Twitter. The remark came after he had missed a putt during a round of golf. Thomas was so frustrated with himself that he uttered the homophobic slur, which was recorded on the TV broadcasts. Immediately afterward, the golfer apologized for his actions and promised to learn from it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_wins_2022_PGA_Championship\"><\/span>Justin Thomas wins 2022 PGA Championship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Sunday, Justin Thomas won the 2022 PGA Championship on a record-tying seven-shot comeback. Thomas, who missed a playoff in the last round, defeated fellow American Will Zalatoris. The victory also marks the first playoff finish at a major championship in 20 years. Justin Thomas&#8217; comeback was the biggest since Paul Lawrie won the Open Championship in 1999. The victory came after a six-shot deficit in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd erupted in chants of &#8220;J.T.!&#8221; Thomas&#8217; name was on the trophy as he walked toward the 18th tee box. Thomas walked to the tee box and stepped forward to accept the trophy. He then sauntered down the hill toward the leaders. He did not remove the protective blue velvet cover of his trophy. After winning the championship, Thomas was awarded a $1 million check.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nDI_rqYTYxM\" width=\"448\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Did He Say?
