Justin Thomas hopes to watch Travis Kelce and Co. take on San Francisco 49ers at Superbowl LVIII as WM Phoenix Open champion
Justin Thomas is hopeful to watch Travis Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, take on the San Francisco 49ers at Superbowl LVIII. The NFL game is scheduled for Sunday, February 11, on the same day on which this week's WM Phoenix Open is slated to have its finale.
However, the conclusion of the golf tournament is in doubt, considering the continuous suspension of its rounds in the last two days. Due to inclement weather, the Phoenix Open's second round, which was originally set for Friday, February 9, had to be postponed until Saturday.
Following Friday's match, Justin Thomas shared optimism about watching the NFL match on Sunday while talking to the reporters. The 30-year-old is hoping to watch the Superbowl as the winner of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open.
Speaking to the media, Thomas said (via PGA Tour):
"I very much hope that I somehow can watch the SuperBowl, but I also hope I'm holding a trophy."
However, the inclement weather led to the possibility of a Monday finish of the WM Phoenix Open. The second round was supposed to resume on Saturday morning but it was again suspended due to the unplayable condition of the golf course.
