‘Ready to Show You Who the F*** He Is’: Controversial $125M Decision Forces Wife Paulina to Finally Break Silence About Dustin Johnson

Dustin Johnson has stirred up the golf world after featuring in the Full Swing docu-series. His wife Paulina Gretzky, who is an accomplished model and actress, was seen by his side as well. The two were shown contemplating the handsome offer Dustin received from LIV Golf.

The pair tied the knot in 2022 and were blessed with two kids. For them, giving time to family takes equal importance to have a successful career. And that’s why Dustin had the vote of confidence from his wife for the LIV Golf move.

Dustin Johnson has the full support of his wife

Gretzky was featured in the Netflix docu-series Full Swing, alongside her husband. She said that Dustin is coming back to compete in the majors, and anyone who thinks he has lost his competitive spirit should watch out. “If anyone thinks that Dustin has lost his competitive spirit, then they don’t know Dustin well enough because he is still ready to show you who the f*** he is.”

Moreover, Paulina also backed up the 2-time major winner’s decision to accept the $125 million LIV Golf deal. She explained that Dustin took the decision for his children. “I don’t think Dustin would ever make a bad choice for his children, and people have to understand at the end of the day. That’s who he chose this for.”

Moreover, she also said that being the child of an athlete, she herself wondered growing up why her father couldn’t be with her on her birthday. Paulina fully supported the resignation because it would allow them to spend more time together as a family.

Furthermore, Johnson himself said that even though he is sad to leave the PGA Tour, LIV Golf will allow him to earn more money by spending less of his time on the greens.

A flashback to Johnson’s PGA Tour career

Dustin Johnson’s journey to fame on the PGA Tour is one that inspires awe and admiration. The South Carolina native overcame numerous obstacles and setbacks to establish himself as one of the most successful golfers in the world. 

One of the defining moments in Dustin’s rise to fame came in 2008 when he won his first PGA Tour event, the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Since then, he has gone on to win 23 additional PGA Tour titles. Johnson’s winning streak also includes five World Golf Championships and a FedEx Cup title.

The 38-year-old actively participates in several charitable initiatives, including the Dustin Johnson Foundation. The organization aims to support youth golf programs and provide scholarships to deserving students.

After her resignation, Dustin played at the LIV Tour and established his dominance there as well with his great performance. However, his world ranking has since then fallen to 51. Because the OWGR board does not yet take into account LIV Tour performance.
