About this listen
Dustin Johnson is making headlines as he arrives in the Philippines to compete in the 2025 International Series at Sta. Elena Golf Club, marking his first time playing at this venue and even in the country. He spoke candidly at the pre-tournament press conference, sharing that he had not yet seen the course but was confident in his preparation, crediting his caddie for the scouting duties, and emphasizing his focus on form. Johnson has also been vocal about the importance of LIV Golf in growing the game globally, describing the expansion into new markets like the Philippines as crucial for golf’s future, as reported by the International Series and Sportskeeda.
This week’s appearance feels particularly significant for his biography, as it could determine whether he continues his remarkable streak of recording at least one victory every year since 2015. According to GolfMagic and the South China Morning Post, if Johnson does not win here or in the remaining International Series events in Singapore and Saudi Arabia, 2025 will mark his first season in over a decade without a win. He does not seem overly concerned, instead focusing on his role in “growing the game,” which may hint at a shifting legacy from dominance on the course to being a global ambassador for golf.
Johnson’s recent form is in the spotlight. He closed out the LIV Golf season with a third-place finish in Indianapolis, and his 2025 run included top 10s in Singapore, Mexico City, Virginia, and Andalucia, but no titles. His major championship season was notably underwhelming, with missed cuts in three of the four majors and a lone highlight of tied 23rd at The Open Championship, according to Sportskeeda. He also was not selected for the US Ryder Cup team this past year.
Off the course, Johnson’s family life remains visible. Paulina Gretzky, his wife, drew some social media attention this week with an all-black Instagram look and also shared scenes from a yacht party with Johnson post-season. These glimpses show Dustin balancing a demanding golf career with an active family and social life, details always of interest to his fans.
As this episode airs, eyes are on Dustin Johnson’s next few days in Manila. Whether he extends his legendary winning streak or shifts more into the ambassadorial role he discussed, this week stands as a meaningful chapter in his ongoing story. Thank you for tuning in.
