Roll of Honour

MAJORS (2): US Open (2016); Masters Tournament (2020). Ryder Cup player (2010, '12, '16, '18, '21). Presidents Cup player (2011, '15, '17, '19). Walker Cup player (2007). Multiple wins on the PGA Tour and European Tour. PGA Tour leading money winner (2016). FedEx Cup Champion (2020). LIV Golf Champion (2022). First to achieve a WGC 'career slam' of all four WGC events (Champions, Championship, Invitational and Match Play). Has held the official ranking of world's No.1 male golfer.

Did you know?

"DJ" as he is often called, turned professional in 2007, earning his PGA Tour card at Q-school later that year. He subsequently enjoyed at least one PGA Tour win in each of his next six seasons on the tour.

Johnson frequently put himself in position to challenge for major championships, not least at the 2011 Open Championship when he finished second to Darren Clarke, and the 2015 US Open, which was won by Jordan Spieth. Johnson's major championship breakthrough eventually came at the 2016 U.S. Open, when he overhauled Shane Lowry's four shot lead at the start of the final round, running out the winner by 3 shots at Oakmont Country Club. He added the Masters Tournament to his major titles in 2020.

One of the longest hitters on tour, Johnson plays with an unusually "bowed" left wrist position at the top of his swing, which allows him to create tremendous clubhead speed at impact. Johnson is married to Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary Canadian ice hockey star Wayne Gretzky.

In 2022, aged 37, Johnson was enticed onto Greg Norman's "rebel" LIV Golf set-up; he was one of biggest "catches" for the fledgling series. Bankrolled by Saudi Arabia, this breakaway rival to the main international tours offered massive prize funds, guaranteed payouts and, for some, eye-watering signing-on bonuses. With two major championships under his belt and 24 PGA Tour wins, Johnson joined LIV Golf alongside a few notable but "ageing" golf stars, and an abundance of lower-ranked "unknowns".
