How Did Justin Thomas and His Wife Jillian Wisniewski Meet? Their Relationship Timeline Explored

Moving forward in life without any support turns out hard for everyone and a golfer starting their pro career needs all the support from friends and family. Well, fortunately, Justin Thomas got it all as he turned pro and had a special someone beside him. Before tying the knot, Thomas and Jillian Wisniewski dated for five years, so how did they meet each other?

In their college days, Thomas was a student at the University of Alabama and was juggling his amateur career and golf. On the other hand, Wisniewski was at the University of Kentucky studying journalism. By fate, Thomas had friends who were going to the University of Kentucky with Wisniewski and were her good friends. So, he revealed, “Whenever I would go back home, I would visit my friends in the UK, and she was best friends with all my best friends,” GOLF.com quoted him saying.

 

 

Over many visits, Thomas and Wisniewski also struck a friendship, and soon it turned out to be a romantic affair. Their first meeting was a special one as he remembered his better half narrating a tale of how her friends forced him to watch golf at midnight; “So I met her and she tells a funny story of, earlier that year was when I think I had won Malaysia [in 2015 and ’16] or something like that to where all my friends, being the good friends that they are, had the bar put the golf on. Because of the time change, it was 12 o’clock, 1 in the morning, the golf was on. She tells the story of, I was so confused why my friends wanted to put golf on at the bar at like 12 or 1 o’clock. Like it made no sense. Like she didn’t really ask, but just was, in her head, was like, that’s really weird. And then once we met and we became friends, she understood; OK, this makes sense.”

 

 

Thomas did not pop the question until November 2021, when they traveled to Nashville and finally were engaged. Exactly a year later, the two got married in Franklin, Tennessee, but the ceremony was private, and the 2-time major winner did not share the photos until that year’s New Year’s Eve.

Over the last few years, Wisniewski has witnessed all the ups and downs of Thomas’s career and has been his biggest supporter. In only a few days, Thomas and Wisniewski will celebrate their second anniversary with their dog, Franklin, and soon-to-be-born baby girl. Although Wisniewski was not an athletic student in her university days, after years of being by Thomas’s side, has she started playing golf?

Does Justin Thomas’ wife play golf?
After graduating with a bachelor’s in journalism from the University of Kentucky in 2015, Jillian Wisniewski took many roles, like being a nanny or even a producer, but nowadays she works for an advertising firm, McGarryBowen, in Chicago, Illinois. She also travels to South Florida to support Thomas.

But does she play golf? It seems uncertain because, per the 15-time PGA Tour winner, Wisniewski does not know much about golf. Recalling one of the incidents, JT once mentioned that he had to explain cart path only to her; “And to the level of her golf knowledge, I was texting with her today and told her that the pro-am might be a little bit longer because it’s cart path only. And she asked: What is cart path only? So I had to explain cart path only to her.”

However, after being with Thomas for nearly seven years, Wisniewski is learning the small details of the game of golf, “She’s learning. Her golf, her level of golf knowledge is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Just enough and not too much.”

Regardless, Wisniewski doesn’t need to know or play golf because her husband does it, and she is also probably better at the business part than at the game!
