Justin Thomas’ list of goals is still a lot more ambitious than your to-do list

We now know Justin Thomas sharing an impressive season-long list of goals last year wasn't just for show. Not that we ever doubted the young star, but it's easier to show off such a thing when you basically accomplish everything you hoped. On Thursday, though, Thomas shared the list from this past season even though he failed to achieve half of the items on it.
To be fair, Thomas sets high goals. Really high. Among those he accomplished were making the U.S. Ryder Cup team and reaching No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking, but he didn't win another major or quite keep to only making five double bogeys or worse for the entire season (“Big N” he writes).

One of twelve bottles featuring the artwork of Italian pop artist Valerio Adami ever created, the so-called “holy grail of whisky” was barreled in 1926 and bottled in 1986, carrying an official 60-year-old designation (despite being well over 92). No one is certain how many of the Adami bottles remain on earth, but it is believed that at least one has been opened and drunk and another destroyed in Japan's 2011 earthquake. Given the fanfare, it would be sho..

Safeway Open Odds: PGA Tour caddies and expert handicappers predict winners in season opener

(Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)A number of our experts are *really* high on __Joaquin Niemann__ to earn his breakthrough victory this week in Napa, Calif.Golf is entering a new world. Sure, those in Europe and Las Vegas are used to throwing some cash on golf, like at this week's Safeway Open, but with a federal law legalizing sports gambling this year, and a number of states moving quickly to allow establishments to accept bets in their states, the 2018-'19 PGA Tour season marks the first one in which betting on golf is fully legal in a number of states. This is just the beginning of how big sports betting will be, as more and more states follow Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi and West Virginia in setting up to accept bets. God Bless America.
As such, we recognize the growing appetite for betting on golf, and we’re prepared to embrace it. With the new PGA Tour season, Golf Digest has assembled a cast of experts in handicapping golf—including a Columbia University pro..
