Justin Thomas will be targeting nothing but a win at the 2020 Tour Championship which is set to take place at the East Lake Golf Club this week (4-7 September).
 
The American player has proved to be one of the best golfers in the world this year by winning two tournaments.
 
Thomas won the 2020 Sentry Tournament of Champions in January at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii for the second time.

Thomas is heading into this year's Tour Championship placed third on the Fed-Ex Cup standings - behind Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson.
 
The 2017 PGA Championship winner believes someone is going to shoot a 56 or 57 or 58 on the Tour as he prepares for his latest tournament, Tour Championship.
 
“The hardest part is that it’s so much pressure because you don’t know if and when you’re ever going to have that chance again,” Thomas said. 
 
“I fully feel that I have the firepower and I’m good enough and I’m going to have plenty of chances at 59 over my career, but I just don’t know if that’s true or not.
 
“I still think someone is going to shoot a 56 or 57 or 58 on Tour, whether it’s in the next couple of years or 10 or 15 years."
 
The 2020 Tour Championship winner will get $15 million and the runner-up is set to receive $5 million.
