As Tiger used green jacket to humble thomas
During his press conference in front of the tournament on Wednesday at East Lake, Thomas shared one of his favorite memories of the tournament, dating from the 2020 event.
Woods was not in the field that year after healing from one of his operations liters. But Tiger gave Thomas something to remember anyway.

Because of their friendship, Thomas is calm doing things that most of the best would not do – such as Tiger’s call from blue to try and trash speak it not to make the tournament, as explained during his press conference.
“I remember playing here (in 2020), playing a practice and walking down 18 and getting engaged Tiger and because he was not here and did not qualify, simply telling him what the course was and how great it was,” Thomas began.
Woods only played in seven official events in the 2019-20 season, but captured his 82nd title of the Zozo Championship in December 2019. Most importantly, he had won his historic fifth masters in April 2019. At the top of this, Masters 2020 had not played in November because of the Pandemia.
So when Thomas decided to call her, Woods was still the champion of reigning masters. And is the fact that Tiger once rolled Thomas’ dug in his head.
In the middle of Thomas’s Facetime Call with Tiger, the connection appeared to cut. Tiger was called back shortly thereafter, but, in the meantime, he would make a change of clothing.
“(Woods) acted like his cut phone and then he called me again two minutes later with the green jacket. I remember very, very, very vividly. Just a typical thinking that I have a top edge, and I close and put it in my place very quickly,” Thomas said.

What Thomas thinks about the new Tour championship format
Of course, Woods was not the main topic of the conversation during the Thomas Tour press conference. This week’s competition took most of the minutes.
Thomas, who enters the Tour Championship Ranked 12th in FedEx Cup rankingsHe seemed somewhat happy with his game this season, appreciating his performance as “a type B, I think. Maybe b minus.”

Thomas is referring to the win of the Tour championship this week, which would give him his second car chart title, not to mention a cash consignment.
And Thomas has only a good chance like anyone this year Due to a major format change. The tournament left with the initial blow format it had used for the last few years. So instead of starting the championship a few strokes after FedEx Cup Scottie Scheffler leader, Thomas will begin at the same time, along with the rest of the field.
Thomas sees it as a positive change, both for his chances of victory and the potential for a closer and more fun event.
“It has the opportunity to be an incredible week in the sense that you can have 15, 20 boys who have the chance to win on Sunday, which is very delightful when it comes to FedEx Cup. This is great,” Thomas explained. “I think with the initial shocks, it was very, very dependent on the place where you were, and more often than not, except for a handful of boys, your week was soon determined by your chances in the first – or not the first nine holes, but your first day.”
He went on, “If you are starting, say, two or three-nine or less and don’t go shoot four or five on the first day, then you have pretty much in winning anymore. You are just trying to get as high. There is nothing wrong with that position.”
If Thomas will take home the Tour and FedEx Cup championship titles this week, would represent his second season victory after him Career Tournament winning on RBC Heritage in April. He added three racing conclusions in 2025 to go along with his only victory.
