About this listen
Dustin Johnson is showing flashes of his best golf again and making noise both on the course and in the headlines. In the past week alone, his narrative took a notable shift at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, where, after a 13-year hiatus from the event, Johnson fired a bogey-free 64 at Carnoustie to sit just one shot off the tournament lead. This return to form is significant, following a frustrating stretch in 2025 that saw him miss the cut at the Masters, PGA, and US Open, with only a top-25 at The Open suggesting he was still capable of world-class play. Johnson himself told reporters after his opening round at Carnoustie that his confidence and swing are both finally trending upwards after nearly a year of inconsistency, and he reiterated his clear desire to represent the US at the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland. Despite public doubts about his motivation, Johnson has firmly dismissed any speculation about retirement, openly stating he’s aiming to make that Ryder Cup team and keep grinding for several more years. As GolfMagic and The Express have noted, Johnson’s remarks and return to form are dampening the common narrative that his best days are behind him—he plainly wants back in the biggest competitions and now believes he has the game to get there.
On the LIV Golf circuit, Johnson’s 2025 season was mixed. He posted several strong finishes—top fives in Singapore and Michigan, a third at Indianapolis, and T7 results in Mexico City and Andalucía—but also some lackluster performances that kept him out of the winner’s circle. His contract with LIV reportedly runs through 2026, with his camp continuing to insist he remains as invested as ever, even as critics—including high-profile voices like Butch Harmon—occasionally question his competitive fire.
Off the course, the Johnson household is as public as ever. Social media buzzed recently as Paulina Gretzky, Johnson’s wife, posted behind-the-scenes looks at her glam routine in New York, while fans also caught glimpses of their family life during a post-season yacht vacation, shared on Instagram. Paulina remains a steadfast supporter, appearing with their children at tournaments and sharing throwback images from events like the Masters Par 3 contest, all of which fuels Johnson’s image as both elite golfer and family man.
No major business ventures or unexpected partnerships have hit the headlines for Johnson in the immediate past; instead, the primary stories are his golf resurgence and public affirmation that he’s not going anywhere soon. His next tournament stop is set for October 9 in Fort Worth, Texas, as originally reported by Parade, and industry watchers are eager to see if this recent momentum continues or if this was merely a flare-up of that trademark DJ brilliance.
