PGA Tour star Justin Thomas secured a long-awaited victory by winning the 2025 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, ending a three-year title drought.

Thomas shot a final-round 68 to finish tied with Andrew Novak at 17-under-par before claiming the win with a birdie on the first playoff hole.

This marks Thomas’ first win since the 2022 PGA Championship and is a major confidence boost after two runner-up finishes earlier in the season. His victory reaffirms his status as one of the PGA Tour’s top contenders.

Off the course, Thomas recently shared his thoughts on Netflix’s popular golf docuseries Full Swing, in which he has appeared across both seasons. While he praised the show for bringing more fans to the sport, he admitted he's uncomfortable with how much of his personal life it exposes—especially when it comes to his wife, Jillian Wisniewski.

Speaking on Throwbacks ahead of the Masters, Thomas explained: “My wife doesn’t need to sit down and do an interview she doesn’t want to. We just want to keep this part of our life separate.”

Thomas and Wisniewski, who married in 2022 and welcomed daughter Molly Grace in 2024, have been selective about their public appearances. He acknowledged the irony of enjoying other Netflix sports documentaries while being hesitant to share more of his own life.

With this win and candid commentary, Thomas is back in the spotlight—both as a champion and a family-first athlete navigating fame on his own terms.
