From one champion to the next.
Justin Thomas is among the young group of PGA Tour players who grew up idolizing Tiger Woods. Where Tiger looked to Jack Nicklaus, the pervading memories of those winning majors nowadays stem from watching Tiger Woods win 14 majors between 1997 and 2008.

A series of back injuries have left him sidelined for most of the past four years, and a recent arrest for DUI, which found five different drugs in his system (head over to USA TODAY for the full report) , saw Tiger seek “professional help” to manage his pain medication.
Tiger released a statement on the matter on Tuesday morning:
