LIV Golf came into action last year. And as we know, many golfers have defected to the Saudi-backed league. As the bold decision helped them bag a lucrative deal, it cost them a lot as well. As the saga unfolded, it became a reality that LIV players had to go the extra mile to get selected for the Ryder Cup.

Except for Brooks Koepka, many popular Ryder Cup names like Dustin Johnson, who presently plays for LIV Golf, missed out on the tournament. Recently, there was a Ryder Cup controversy regarding Johnson that led to an online argument that called out the two-time major championship winner despite not being a part of Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup team.

Dustin Johnson is one of the most experienced players the Ryder Cup has had in the past few years. Besides, he made five Ryder Cup appearances in total after turning pro. The LIV golfer is also one of the six players to have a Ryder Cup record of 5-0-0.

The story doesn’t just end here; when the two sides squared off in the biennial tournament, Johnson played a massive role in helping Team USA win last year. Even Xander Schauffele said that he’d want to be paired with Johnson for the rest of his career if given a choice, as per an interview. Definitely, Schauffele knows his fellow American’s potential.

Recently, a golf enthusiast made an appreciation post for Johnson. In the post, he wrote, This man scored 5 points on his own last time out – just saying reflecting on his Whistling Straits performance, which led to the USA winning 19-9. 

But defying the devotee’s assertion, another former PGA pro, Colt Knost, retweeted the post, saying, He scored 1 on his own. The other 4 were with a partner! belittling the 39-year-old’s contribution. As the post went up, the golf community poured in their thoughts.
