"Yes, it's true, I didn't play my best this year. But if I hadn't chosen to move to the Arab Super League, therefore remaining on the PGA Tour, I would certainly have been part of the US team at the Ryder Cup." Thus Dustin Johnson, former world number 1 and ace of LIV Golf, after his exclusion from the American team which, from 29 September to 1 October, will challenge team Europe at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.
Dustin Johnson, statements“I definitely think I could have helped the team, I probably should have done better during the Majors this year, but that's how it happened,” Johnson concluded. The 39-year-old from Columbia (South Carolina) was the absolute protagonist in the last Ryder Cup, the 2021 one in Wisconsin, winning all five matches played, just like Francesco Molinari did in 2018 in Paris.
Equipped with extraordinary physical power and a very powerful swing (with a left wrist at the apex of the swing that is not very academic, but very charged), he is one of the longest players on the circuit, and for three consecutive years (2009-2011) he finished in third place in the average distance ranking.
Turning professional at the end of 2007, he has won 20 tournaments so far, and is currently the only player on the PGA Tour to have won at least one tournament every season. He also boasts four WGC titles, the second of which was won in 2015 after returning from a period away from the courts due to personal problems. In fact, between 2009 and 2014, Dustin Johnson tested positive in three different drug tests, once for marijuana and twice for cocaine. Following this, the PGA Tour did not issue any disciplinary measures, nor did they spread the news, but it was the player himself who decided to retire from professionalism for 6 months.
In 2010 he was the protagonist of an unfortunate episode when, leading the PGA Championship, the last major tournament of the season, he incurred a two-stroke penalty on the 72nd hole, for having intentionally placed the head of the club in a bunker, not having recognized it because it was very ruined and in a passage area for spectators. After holing the last putt on the 18th thinking he was on par with Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer, the latter later winning the subsequent playoff, he was informed of the two-stroke penalty that took him from tied first place to fifth .
