Since Dustin Johnson began playing on the PGA Tour in 2007, he has consistently been one of the sport’s most physically gifted golfers.
But he experienced a string of close calls in significant competitions that cemented him as one of the dreaded “greatest players to never win a major” debate.
That came to an end in 2016, when he won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont by three shots, thereby removing the monkey off his back.
At the time of the June 9 commencement of the LIV Golf Invitational Series’ first tournament at London’s Centurion Club, Johnson was the most unexpected and well-known golfer among the 42 entrants. Johnson claimed to be “totally committed to the PGA Tour” in February.
Johnson has had a lot of success in golf. He has won 24 PGA Tour events, including a major at the Masters in 2020.
He has won $74 million in tour winnings, which ranks third all-time, trailing only Phil Mickelson ($95 million) and Tiger Woods ($121 million).
He has received an additional $27 million in FedEx Cup bonus money, following Rory McIlroy ($32 million) and Tiger Woods ($29 million).
Sportico believes that Johnson will have made more than $100 million through endorsements and appearance fees in addition to his prize money and incentives by the end of 2021.
How Much Does Dustin Johnson Make?
