Competition status: Dustin Johnson has continued his involvement with LIV Golf, with multiple headlines focusing on his performances in LIV events and contract status. Reports in early 2026 highlighted his multi-year extension with LIV Golf, reinforcing his commitment to the series, and noting that his world ranking has been affected by LIV’s status on world points. This reflects Johnson’s ongoing presence on the LIV tour rather than the PGA Tour [sources vary; see LIV coverage in major sports outlets in 2025–2026].

Recent form: Coverage around spring 2026 pointed to Johnson remaining competitive in LIV events, including outright wins and strong showings in certain LIV events, while analysts discussed the implications for his world rankings and career trajectory given LIV’s current points structure. His overall form has been described as solid but with the usual fluctuations typical of a veteran player in a divided tour landscape.
-
Masters and major context: There’s continued interest in how Johnson performs in majors such as The Masters, given his past success (e.g., 2016 U.S. Open and 2020 Masters) and his LIV affiliation. Media often notes that LIV players face a different competitive dynamic at traditional PGA Tour majors, with projections and expectations adjusted accordingly.
