With new baby on the way, Justin Thomas drops truth bomb every father can relate to

Justin Thomas, the renowned PGA Tour golfer, is gearing up for a life-altering chapter as he prepares to welcome his first child with his wife, Jillian Wisniewski, in late November. Thomas, who recently shared the news on Instagram, has been given extra time to prepare for fatherhood after not being selected for the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

Reflecting on the journey ahead before his final start of the season at the ZOZO Championship in Japan, Thomas admitted the unknowns that come with becoming a father. “I don’t think you ever are [prepared to be a father],” he remarked, expressing excitement and readiness to embrace the challenges and joys awaiting him.

This year has seen several PGA Tour pros, including Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns, step into fatherhood, each balancing family commitments with their careers. Unlike his peers, who welcomed children during the competitive peak of the season, Thomas will enter this new role just as the golf year winds down, allowing him to focus on the transition.

Despite the complexity of fatherhood, Thomas knows he has the support of his wife, whom he praised for her nurturing spirit. Though focused on his performance at the ZOZO Championship, he looks forward to “going home and getting ready to be a dad,” eager for the invaluable life lessons fatherhood will bring.
