PGA Tour star Justin Thomas and his wife Jillian announced some exciting news Thursday morning. The two revealed that their daughter Molly Grace Thomas was born on Monday, Nov. 18.

Molly and Jillian are both doing well, according to Justin Thomas, who made the announcement about Molly being born on Instagram. You can check it out below:

“Our little girl is here! Molly Grace Thomas arrived to us 11/18/24, and we couldn’t be more in love. Both momma (who is a superhero!) and Molly are healthy, and doing well! ❤️,” Justin Thomas posted.

“A massive thank you to @jupitermedicalcenter and their entire staff for such great care the last few days. They made the recovery for Jill and Molly as smooth as possible.”

Justin Thomas and Jillian Thomas announced back in September that they were expecting their first child. The couple have been married since Nov. of 2022. Both are from Kentucky.

The 31-year-old Thomas has long been considered one of the best players on the PGA Tour. He has won 15 events, including a pair of majors. He most recently played in the Zozo Championship last month, finishing second.

While Justin Thomas seems to be doing well and playing well now, he had a rough patch a few years back. He told People Magazine back in 2022 that Jillian and the rest of a “great support system” helped him through that.

“I kind of went through that a little bit last year, where I got in a pretty bad space mentally, and it’s hard,” Thomas said. “It’s not like something you can just flip a switch and you feel better all of a sudden. And I think people are starting to realize that sometimes you need to work on that just as much as you do your certain profession.”

It remains to be seen when Thomas will play his next event, although it would be understandable if he takes some time off. This is a slow time for the PGA Tour.

The RSM Classic is taking place right now, and the Hero World Championship will be held Dec. 5-8. There is also the Grant Thornton Invitational to close out the 2024 season.

The 2025 season gets underway in Hawaii as both The Sentry and the Sony Open in Hawaii will be held there in January.
