About this listen
Dustin Johnson finds himself at a fascinating crossroads in his career as August draws to a close. According to EssentiallySports, Johnson recently hit some new lows, struggling with form throughout the LIV Golf season and finishing outside the Top 20 in seven events. He openly admitted that a rib injury during LIV Golf Hong Kong impaired his game, especially his ability to turn through his follow-through, and he even finished last in that event. Although he managed a fifth-place finish in Singapore and third in Indianapolis, overall, it’s been a tough year, compounded by missing the cut in every major except The Open, where he tied for 23rd. In light of these challenges and in pursuit of Official World Golf Ranking points unavailable in LIV events, Johnson has announced his third career appearance in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the DP World Tour, a move that could help him retain access to future majors.
Johnson spoke candidly about his timeline, telling interviewers he envisions “another six years in me. I can grind for another six years. And then I’m going fishing.” This level of introspection and staggered optimism is notable for a player who once confessed that early success led him to take things “easy” and become “lazy.” Whether another renaissance is on the horizon is unknown, but Johnson remains upbeat, insisting he still has plenty of game left.
On social media, Johnson’s presence has been relatively quiet compared with years past. The recent spotlight in golf has revolved around Tommy Fleetwood’s win at the Tour Championship, with the likes of Tiger Woods and LeBron James flooding Instagram and Twitter with congratulatory messages. There’s been no viral Dustin Johnson content this week, and according to GolfWRX, he’s not trending for any business moves or flashy appearances. However, gossip still swirls over his split with long-time swing coach Claude Harmon earlier this year, which some insiders suggest may have contributed to his inconsistent performances.
Johnson also wasn’t among the big names selected for the 2025 US Ryder Cup team, with Keegan Bradley confirming the side and leaving several stars out. Some industry speculation links Johnson’s omission to both his form and his ongoing association with LIV Golf, though this remains unconfirmed.
Ultimately, Johnson’s latest moment—the Dunhill Links entry—could be significant, reintroducing him to OWGR and offering a chance to tweak his legacy in what he hints might be his final six-year stretch. Stay tuned, as the next episode could bring fresh news, commentary, or even another major run.
