LIV Golf Influencer goes back to Justin Thomas’s days of content creation: “He knew what he was doing”

Justin Thomas is set to tee off at the RBC Heritage on April 17, 2025, marking his 10th appearance this year. The two-time PGA Championship winner recently received praise from golf influencer Grant Horvat for his early forays into content creation.

Horvat, speaking on the *Smylie Show* with Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulment, recalled a recent YouTube collaboration with Thomas. He highlighted Thomas’s ease on camera and his natural ability to engage audiences—an attribute evident even in his early content days.

While Thomas remains focused on his athletic career, his online presence is noteworthy. With over 1.7 million Instagram followers, he frequently shares professional updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and congratulatory posts—like his recent one for Rory McIlroy’s Masters win.

Reflecting on the origins of golf content, Horvat acknowledged pioneers like Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rickie Fowler. As Kaufman aptly put it, “We walked so you could run,” celebrating the foundational role these athletes played in shaping modern golf media.
