Dustin Johnson

Dustin Hunter Johnson (born June 22, 1984) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour. He is the current World Number 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking; having reached that position with his win at the 2017 Genesis Open in February 2017. As of April 16 2018, he has been the Number 1-ranked golfer for 61 consecutive weeks, which is tied for the 5th longest streak in PGA Tour history.

He won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club with a 4-under-par score of 276 for his first major championship. He had previously finished in a tie for second at both the 2011 Open Championship and the 2015 U.S. Open. He also has five World Golf Championships victories, with only Tiger Woods having won more, and he is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He is one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, having been ranked in the top five annually from 2008 and leading in 2015.[2] By virtue of his 2018 Sentry Tournament of Champions win, Johnson became only the third player in Tour history to win a Tour title in each of his first 11 seasons, joining Jack Nicklaus (17) and Tiger Woods (14).

Johnson won the first FedEx Cup playoff event, The Northern Trust, his 16th Tour title and his tour-leading fourth title of the season.[33] This is the first time that he has won more than three Tour titles in the same season.[2] By virtue of his win, he also moved up three spots to No. 1 on the official money list with $8,392,068 and also moved up to No. 6 on the career money list.

In January 2018, Johnson won the Sentry Tournament of Champions for the second time, with an eight-stroke victory over Jon Rahm. He began the final round with a two-stroke advantage, but pulled clear of the field with a 65 in the final round for a 24-under-par winning score. Johnson fell one shot short of David Duval's record nine-stroke win at the event in 1999. The win means that Johnson has won a title in his first 11 straight seasons on the PGA Tour, behind only Tiger Woods (14) and Jack Nicklaus (17). In winning, he also became only the third player in the last 30 years – alongside Woods and Phil Mickelson – to reach 17 PGA Tour wins before the age of 34.

In August 2013, Johnson became engaged to model, singer, and celebutante Paulina Gretzky, daughter of Wayne Gretzky, after seven months of dating.[37] They have two sons, Tatum Gretzky Johnson (born January 19, 2015), and River Jones Johnson (born June 12, 2017)
