When will Justin Thomas tee off on Thursday at The American Express 2024? Golfer’s season debut tee time explored

Justin Thomas is making his PGA Tour season debut at The American Express 2024. The 30-year-old golfer will tee off at the La Quinta Country Club course at 1:31 pm. He will join fan favorite Rickie Fowler at the first tee.

Unsurprisingly, Thomas is one of the favorites at the event. He comes into the California event with 20-1 odds, according to SportsLine. The golfer sits fourth on the odds list behind Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. For the unversed, Thomas had a poor season last year.

The golfer shocked many when he missed the FedEx Cup Playoffs entirely. However, the 2022 PGA Championship winner redeemed himself at the Ryder Cup by showcasing a good performance. Thomas’ last outing was at the Hero World Challenge, where he finished third behind Scheffler and Sepp Straka.

The 30-year-old will now go up against 21 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings, including the likes of Scheffler, Cantlay, Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Sungjae Im, among others. Thomas is making a comeback to the competitive game after a break, and it’ll be interesting to see how he fares this weekend at The American Express.
