Dustin Johnson Extends Contract with LIV Golf Amid Performance Concerns

Dustin Johnson, a two-time major golf champion, has decided to extend his contract with LIV Golf despite speculation about a potential return to the PGA Tour due to his recent struggles in major tournaments. Johnson originally joined LIV Golf in 2022 with a lucrative three-year deal worth close to $100 million and has since continued to lead the 4 Aces team, alongside players like Patrick Reed, Jason Kokrak, and Harold Varner III. His contract extension was confirmed following a recent meeting between his representatives and LIV Golf officials in New York. While Johnson's performance in majors has declined, with missed cuts in 2025 and few top finishes, he remains committed to LIV Golf, where he has won three times and contributed to his team's success. The golf community's reaction to his decision has been mixed, with some fans criticizing his competitiveness but acknowledging his financial success. Johnson aims to continue competing in LIV Golf and is targeting a return to the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 2027.
