The surprising reason Justin Thomas’ week just got even better (and even more lucrative)

Justin Thomas capped off a thrilling weekend by clinching his first PGA Tour win in nearly three years at the RBC Heritage, defeating Andrew Novak in a dramatic playoff. The victory marked a triumphant return to form for the two-time major champion.

Less than 24 hours later, Thomas had another reason to celebrate: Leeds United, the English football club he co-owns, crushed Stoke City 6-0 and earned promotion to the Premier League. The result adds a significant financial boost to Thomas’ already lucrative week.

Thomas and fellow PGA star Jordan Spieth had invested in Leeds through 49ers Enterprises despite the club’s relegation. That gamble has paid off handsomely, with Premier League promotion promising upwards of £150 million in revenue—an ideal encore to Thomas’ $3.6 million golf win.
