Dustin Johnson is one of the most prominent golfers on the tour. Meanwhile, he has 24 PGA Tours and two major championships in his career so far. Moreover, he is currently in an offseason mode and has only played in the CJ Cup this season so far. However, his best season came in probably 2020 after the pandemic break. 

Dustin Johnson won the Masters, Northern Trust, and the Tour Championship and eventually became the FedExCup champion. However, since then, he hasn’t been able to keep his consistency going. But still, he doesn’t seem bothered at all by this as he continues to look at the brighter side of things.

“Too many thoughts, especially in golf, can be paralyzing. Dustin has a wonderful ability to be very interested in what he’s doing but to under-react to everything. He never panics. Nothing seems to bother him.”

Moreover, Claude said he sometimes asks him when DJ hits one in the water or out-of-bounds whether he wants to hit balls. However, surprisingly, DJ always refuses and says it wasn’t that bad. ‘Nah, not really. I’m good. Didn’t really hit it that bad today.’ He’ll shoot over par and say, ‘I made one bad swing today. But I also made a lot of good swings.’

Furthermore, Claude said, “Most players, they’re all caught up in their score, in the bad things. Dustin is able to remove that from his thinking.” Meanwhile, even Jon Rahm had once called DJ the biggest goldfish for his ability to forget things quickly. 

Meanwhile, most of the players sometimes hold on to their bad scores, which affects their performance adversely. Hence, along with his skills, this is why Dustin Johnson is a special and successful golfer on the Tour.
