It proved to be another week to forget for Dustin Johnson<\/a> on the LIV Golf circuit, with the 4Aces captain finishing at the bottom of the leaderboard at LIV UK.<\/p>\n

With the title swooped by 36-hole leader Joaquin Niemann at JCB Golf and Country Club, Johnson finished 26 shots behind the champion. It was the 4Aces captain’s second rock-bottom finish of the 2025 campaign, having also fallen to the same fate in Hong Kong earlier this year.<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnson had previously been the dominant figure of the breakaway circuit, crowned the league’s inaugural champion in 2022 before completing a double with the 4Aces just a week later. It comes after Rory McIlroy was warned he will “regret” his brutally honest comment about Scottie Scheffler shortly before his victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three years on, Johnson is failing to make his mark at the right end of the standings, despite a recent improvement of form prior to his trip to the UK. As well as not finding his best golf on the LIV setup, Johnson has also struggled for form on the major stage.<\/p>\n

Once a key player at the sport’s flagship events, Johnson missed three cuts in a row at the Masters, <\/a>PGA Championship,<\/a> and U.S. Open,<\/a> before saving his major season with a tied-23rd finish at this month’s Open Championship.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the age of 41, Johnson is now closer to the end of his career than the start. And his time at the top of men’s professional golf has been a successful one, having announced himself as one of the best players of his generation, winning 24 PGA Tour titles, three LIV crowns, and two major titles.<\/p>\n

Attention now, however, is turning slightly towards what his plans will be post-golf, with the LIV man revealing ahead of June’s U.S. Open that he has around six years left of competing left in him. “I think I\u2019ve got another six years in me,” he told AP.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I can grind for another six years. And then I\u2019m going fishing.” Quizzed on why it would be a “grind”, Johnson responded with confidence: “Because I want to get back, I know I\u2019ve still got it.” While his trip to JCB has been another setback, the 4Aces skipper has tried to remain positive in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Speaking at The Open, Johnson told reporters: “I obviously didn’t play my best, but didn’t play as bad as my scores reflected. Even in the first two, Masters was the putter. PGA, I think I had more putts there in the first round than I ever have in the first two rounds of golf in my life. But I hit it well.<\/p>\n

“Obviously Oakmont is tough. Played okay, just again didn’t really hole any putts and didn’t — every time I missed one, I was severely penalized. Yeah, it was nice, obviously sitting on the cut line yesterday knowing I have to play well the last few holes and did, and then come out today and play really solid. I’m happy with the game. It’s trending in the right direction.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dustin Johnson has already decided when he will call it quits from professional golf, with the former Masters…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[35853,427,10658,99,13035],"class_list":["post-45267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-dustin-johnson","tag-golf","tag-liv-golf","tag-sports","tag-the-open-championship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
