Dustin Johnson, the two-time major champion and LIV Golf's early signing, is set to play this weekend at the PGA Championship, but his future is uncertain. The Public Investment Fund's decision to stop subsidizing LIV Golf beyond 2026 has left Johnson and the league in a state of flux. Johnson's game has been inconsistent, with a poor performance on the driver impacting his overall score. Despite this, he remains confident in LIV CEO Scott O'Neil's leadership. Johnson's original LIV deal was set to end in 2025, but an extension was announced in January. However, his recent LIV victories have been scarce, with only three in his first three years and none in the last two. This year, his best finish on LIV Golf was a tie for 10th in Singapore. Johnson's performance at the PGA Championship was a welcome result, but his focus remains on the present rather than the future. He is currently ranked 471st in the world, a far cry from his former No. 1 status. Johnson's major streak is alive, thanks to a letter he wrote to the PGA of America requesting an invite. This invite has kept him in the running for major tournaments, including the U.S. Open and the Masters. Despite his recent struggles, Johnson believes he can still compete with the best. However, the future of LIV Golf and his own career is uncertain, leaving him with no clear path forward. Johnson's ability to drive the ball has been a hindrance, and he is working on improving his swing. He remains optimistic, stating that one good swing can make all the difference. The question remains: will LIV Golf continue to exist, and what will Johnson's role be in it?
