Dustin Johnson has officially resigned from the PGA Tour and plans to play only in LIV Golf events and major championships going forward
. “Hopefully at some point it will change and I’ll be able to participate. If it doesn’t, well, it was another thing I really had to think long and hard about. Ultimately I decide to come to this and play out here.
“The Ryder Cup is unbelievable and something that has definitely meant a lot to me. I’m proud to say I’ve represented my country and hopefully I’ll get a chance to do that again. But I don’t make the rules.” Although he’ll likely be ineligible for future Ryder Cups, Johnson said he fully expects to be able to play in the four major tournaments moving forward, beginning with the 2022 U.S. Open. The USGA, which will conduct next week’s event in Brookline, Mass., has not shown any indication that it will prevent players who joined the LIV Golf Tour from playing in its championships.
Johnson boasts a 10-year exemption into the U.S. Open because of his 2016 victory. His win at the 2020 Masters also earned him five-year exemptions into the Open Championship and PGA Championship through 2026. “I can’t answer for the majors, but hopefully they’re going to allow us to play,” Johnson said. “Obviously I’m exempt for the majors, so I plan on playing unless I hear otherwise.”
