“Ridiculous”; “I'm not, he's all hype” – Fans divided as Jim Furyk skips Justin Thomas for the Presidents Cup team

Justin Thomas has been a regular feature at the Presidents Cup since 2017, but this time, he will miss the event after not being picked. Team USA Captain Jim Furyk revealed his six picks for the 2024 Presidents Cup on Tuesday, September 3, but Thomas was not on the list.

Justin Thomas has been one of the best performers in the Presidents Cup, boasting a stellar record of 10-3-2. However, this time, Furyk felt there were better players available and decided to pass him over.

Following the announcement, Jim Furyk explained that although it was a tough decision to omit Thomas, he selected the players he believed were best suited for the 2024 Presidents Cup.

Fans online had mixed reactions to Justin Thomas' snub from the Presidents Cup team. While many were disappointed with the decision, a few felt his recent performance wasn't strong enough to justify his selection. Here's a look at some reactions:

"Ridiculous," one user wrote.

"I'm not, he's all hype," another writer posted.

"No more JT!!! How many times do we have to go down this road?" this user commented.

"Certainly a coincidence that the best 12 he saw were the top 12 in the standings," another fan remarked.

"JT would struggle to finish top 20 in a Korn Ferry Tour event at the moment," one user posted.
