The PGA Tour postseason and Presidents Cup are in the rear-view mirror leaving only a handful of events remaining in the 2024 golfing calendar. While competitors will vie for the DP World Tour’s season-long race in the Middle East over the next couple weeks, the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall has been mostly absent of stars as they enjoy their time off before a new campaign begins in 2025.
Justin Thomas was one of those few stars to tee it up at the Zozo Championship, and the two-time major champion nearly broke his two-year winless drought. The American was unable to enter the winner’s circle in Japan, but he took another step towards becoming the player fans have grown accustomed to seeing.
In fact, Thomas raised his odds to 28-1 at the 2025 PGA Championship, tied for 10th-best in the field, according to DraftKings sportsbook, one of the top betting sites.
Thomas does enter The Power 18 this week thanks to his recent resurgence, but that is not to say much has changed. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won’t be seen again until he defends his crown at the Hero World Challenge in The Bahamas, while Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood are among those who will star on the DP World Tour these next two weeks.
The Power 18 provides insight as to how golfers are currently performing with benefit given to their play over recent events. It is a wider lens than simply what happened at the last tournament to be played but more narrow than the Official World Golf Rankings, which take into account how more than 2,000 golfers perform across an entire season.
