Justin Thomas speaks on Billy Horschel’s unforgettable 'Dirty Bird' dance

Justin Thomas and Billy Horschel shared a hilarious moment at TGL's third match on Tuesday, January 21. With both players part of the Atlanta Drive Golf Club team with Patrick Cantlay, Horschel celebrated the win by performing his version of the 'Dirty Bird' dance.

During the post-match press conference, the interviewer asked Thomas if there were any changes he would like to make to future TGL games after his debut. The PGA Tour superstar came up with a hilarious and lighthearted response.

Thomas answered (via TGL):

"I'd probably go back in time and not watch Billy do the "Dirty Bird" dance if I could because I will never be able to get that out of my mind."

Horschel doubled down at the moment and clapped back with an incredible response highlighting the silliness of his impromptu dance. He said (via TGL):

"Etched in there for life. As I said, it wasn't going to be pretty. I was going to make a fool of myself. But it's not the first time and won't be the last time."

The hilarious celebratory dance performance resulted in his teammates walking away in laughter. Here's a look into Horschel's version of the "Dirty Bird" dance (via X @DraftKings):

This was not the only time Horschel pulled out the stellar dance move. He also performed the 'Dirty Bird' dance while the TGL commentators announced Atlanta Golf Club as the winner. The 38-year-old pulled out a chain that read: "Dirty Birds" while dancing in a grand entrance filled with smoke and red lights.

The moment was a testament to the bond and camaraderie the TGL players share.

Justin Thomas reveals the difference between playing TGL and PGA Tour

Following a stellar 4 to 0 victory by Atlanta Golf Club, Justin Thomas took a minute to explain the key differences between playing at the SoFi Center and on the PGA Tour. When the interviewer asked the 31-year-old why he took less time playing a shot on TGL, he gave an insightful answer.

Thomas replied (via TGL):

"There's a lot less variables. There's a lot less going on. The lie is what it is. You don't have wind that's changing. No walking. You're not pulling out a yardage book; you don't have to find a sprinkler head; you're not trying to see what angle you're on, which is a part of what makes this unique and special. We don't need to be trying to figure out yardages or whatnot; it's right there. And the ball is going to react on the green relatively the same every time. For a situation like this, I think that's best."

Thomas said he likes that the ball reacts the same way on the SoFi Center greens as on a real course. He suggested that having fewer variables to consider while playing golf helps him be more relaxed.
