Two-time major winner Dustin Johnson to miss The Open for first time since 2009
Two-time major champion Dustin Johnson will miss the Open Championship for the first time since his debut in 2009 after withdrawing from final qualifying.
Dustin Johnson reportedly re-signs with LIV Golf, set to captain 4 Aces in 2026 (MS)
The American, who joined LIV in June 2022 on a deal reportedly worth over $100 million, will return as captain of 4 Aces GC in 2026, according to golf site Flushing It. Terms of the new contract have not been disclosed.
Johnson, winner of the 2016 US Open and 2020 Masters, had a challenging season, finishing 14th in the individual race and seeing 4 Aces GC place seventh in the team competition.
His world ranking has fallen to 595th, following missed cuts at the US Open, PGA Championship, and earlier majors, before a T23 at the Open Championship showed signs of improvement.
There has been speculation that Johnson and some of the other early LIV signings, like Brooks Koepka, are considering a PGA Tour return once their contracts expire in a bid to revive their flagging fortunes, though a one-year waiting period currently applies.
Like Johnson, Koepka reached the weekend in just one major this year, tying for 12th at the US Open.
