About this listen
Dustin Johnson has been front and center this week in Asia as he fights to avoid his first winless season in more than a decade according to GolfMagic and EssentiallySports. He arrived in the Philippines for the Asian Tour’s International Series event at Sta. Elena Golf Club, not only to chase a trophy but also to highlight golf’s growing global reach. Johnson expressed optimism in pre-tournament press conferences, emphasizing how the International Series and LIV Golf are expanding the sport: “I think this is great for the game. The game of golf is growing a lot, and playing in places like this really helps,” he said to International Series media. Yet for all the enthusiasm, he is staring down an unwanted career milestone—a year without a single win, something that’s only happened once since he joined the elite ranks back in 2008.
On the course, Johnson has managed to spark excitement. According to ABS-CBN News, he rolled in nine birdies during Thursday’s opening round, electrifying the crowd and showing flashes of the form that once made him world number one. However, Johnson’s own assessment and the stats echo the storyline: this year has been a grind, with just four top-10s in 13 LIV Golf events and a best result of third at LIV Golf Indianapolis. He finished 14th on the individual leaderboard, a far cry from his dominant past. The last time he lifted a trophy was at LIV Golf Las Vegas in 2024, and this Philippine stop represents one of his last remaining chances to keep his year-streak alive.
Off the course, Johnson has turned heads with his business decisions. As reported by GolfMagic and Golf Monthly, he has ended an 18-year partnership with TaylorMade, embracing equipment free agency. This week, Johnson was spotted wielding a new Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 putter—his sixth putter change in 2025—and wearing Nike golf shoes after 15 years with Adidas. Equipment watchers are buzzing about his quest for the right combination, a storyline that blends performance priorities and commercial freedom.
There have been no verified controversies, but for the record, earlier rumors swirled about a sharp quote criticizing PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. GolfWRX clarified that the comment was actually made by Johnson’s teammate Pat Perez, and Johnson’s agent firmly denied any disparaging remarks. As for social media, Johnson’s own feeds have been quiet, but his recent interviews and public appearances have been widely covered by golf media, focusing on his drumbeat of optimism despite his struggles.
In summary, this week marks a crucial narrative point: a superstar at a crossroads, still in the hunt for silverware, navigating change, and keeping fans hanging on every shot in hopes he can spark one last surge.
