For the third time in his PGA Tour career, Sepp Straka hoisted a trophy at tournament's end. Converting a four-stroke lead at the 54-hole mark into a victory at the 2025 American Express, Straka fended off a crowded chasing pack headlined by Justin Thomas.

Even though Justin Thomas finished two back of Sepp Straka at The American Express, the two-time PGA Championship winner made PGA Tour history. Cha-ching! With his $959,200 payday, Thomas became only the 11th player to earn more than $60 million during his career,

Former Alabama All-American Justin Thomas earned $959,200 for his runner-up finish in The American Express on Sunday to become the 11th PGA Tour golfer to reach $60 million in career earnings.

Sepp Straka had never entered a final round with a lead on the PGA Tour until Sunday. In his two previous victories, he had to charge from far behind on the final day with no time to feel the nerves that roiled his stomach from the first tee onward at The American Express.

Even before the start of the season, Justin Thomas pointed out that he enters this year with huge ambitions and the desire to record great results. The American confirmed this with an excellent performance at the American Express, where he finished two strokes behind the winner Sepp Straka.

Thomas has also reached a new plateau in terms of career earnings. His second place in La Quinta put another $959,200 in his bank account, and that makes him the 11th golfer in PGA Tour history to surpass the $60 million mark in on-course earnings.

Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh will undergo another cardiac ablation this offseason as well as hip replacement surgery.

Justin Thomas didn’t take home the American Express trophy Sunday—he finished in solo second place, two behind winner Sepp Straka—but he did move up and into elite company on one all-time PGA Tour list.
