Justin Thomas did not win the Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake. He finished second to Xander Schauffele. However, that finish was enough to secure him the FedEx Cup trophy and a $10 million bonus for taking the season-long race.
Thomas capped a five-win season by becoming the first golfer since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win the FedEx Cup without winning the Tour Championship (Phil Mickelson won it that year). He will unquestionably be the 2016-17 PGA Tour Player of the Year and has earned just under $20 million total this season adding in the FedEx Cup bump.
It's been an all-time year for the 24-year-old, who also took his first major championship at Quail Hollow in August, and it's fitting that he is crowned in a year we will remember as the one he owned throughout. From the CIMB Classic win last fall to the Hawaii double to the PGA Championship to the playoffs, 2016-17 has been J.T.'s season.
Now he has the cash to prove it.
