Bryson DeChambeau turned pro in 2016 and prior to becoming a professional, he played college golf for SMU. He won the 2015 US Amateur title and also won the NCCA title in the same year, eventually making him one of the famous college golfers. In a recent podcast with Mark Golf Podcast, the US Open winner Bryson spoke about which professional golfer impresses him the most. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU ON DUSTIN JOHNSON On the podcast, Bryson was talking about how some players find it easy to play the same way every time. He said [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-mark-golf-podcast/id1096925460?i=1000546254733], “I’m gonna figure out why Dustin Johnson. And this is it. This is the guy that impressed me the most is Dustin Johnson. Yeah, because he didn’t think about it didn’t really do much. Just boom, he would do it every single time.” “So I started asking the question, what is Dustin doing that’s allowing him to be repeatable. And I started looking really closely through impact in his body, sir, looking at body positions.” Bryson added. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/golf-news-nelly-korda-vs-jessica-korda-net-worth-comparison] Dustin Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-johnson/] is also renowned for his big-hitting and is the former world number 1. Dustin Johnson is also the 2020 masters tournament winner. He is presumably one of the best ball-striker golf has ever seen.

<h2>Bryson DeChambeau 2023: Net Worth, Career Wins And Endorsements</h2>
<div class="mceTemp"></div>
A pro golfer hailing from California, Bryson DeChambeau burst into the scene owing to his unique golfing chops. A child prodigy, DeChambeau grew up to accomplish several stunning feats in the game, including a major victory.

Let's dive in to learn more about the '<em>Mad Scientist' </em>of the golf world!
<h2>Early life and background</h2>
Bryson James Aldrich DeChambeau is an American professional golfer who has made quite a name in the golf community for his stellar achievements and unique golfing skills. DeChambeau was born on 16 September 1993 in Modesto, California, to John Howard Aldrich DeChambeau and Janet Louise Drufell.

The golfer's unique approach to the sport has led to many referring to him as "<em>The Scientist.</em>" This stems from DeChambeau's brilliance in subjects like maths and physics from a very young age. A childhood prodigy, he was able to master mental arithmetic at just six years of age. His love for numbers stuck with him as DeChambeau eventually went on to major in Physics at Dallas' Southern Methodist University.

The Modesto native also showed great golfing acumen at a young age. He even picked up the California State Junior Championship in 2010 before moving to Texas. DeChambeau also became a force to reckon with while in college, picking up one achievement after another.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
While in college, DeChambeau became the first SMU Mustang to win the NCAA individual championship. He won the title after beating golfer CT Pan by one stroke. That year, he also picked up the US Amateur title by winning against Derek Bard.

His accomplishments in 2015 saw DeChambeau join the prestigious roster of golfers that have won both the NCAA and U.S. Amateur titles in the same year. Other golfers who have accomplished this amazing feat include Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Ryan Moore.

The golfer's PGA Tour debut came at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June of 2015 while he was still an amateur. The golfer was able to tie the 45th place on the leaderboard. That year, he also played in the U.S. Open but failed to make the cut.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
In the 2016 Masters, DeChambeau was the low amateur finishing T21st on the leaderboard. He soon went pro after the amazing feat. His first appearance as a pro-golfer was at the RBC Heritage event in South Carolina, wherein he tied for the 4th position. That year, the golfer was able to qualify for the U.S. Open as well, achieving an impressive T15 finish. Despite good outings, the golfer failed to earn enough FedEx Cup points to qualify for a PGA Tour card. However, he qualified to compete in the Web.com Tour Finals, through which he finally earned the coveted card.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)[/caption]

His first PGA Tour victory came in 2017 at the John Deere Classic. It also earned him a spot on the field for the Open Championship. A year later, in 2018, the young golfer picked up a sensational win at the Memorial Tournament. He further went on to pick up two more wins on the PGA Tour before the year ended. Besides Woods and Nicklaus, DeChambeau became the only golfer to claim the U.S. Amateur, NCAA Division 1 Championship, and three PGA Tour wins by the age of 25.

The golfer bulked up dramatically in the coming months to improve his swing speed and hit the ball even farther. In July of 2020, he picked up his sixth PGA Tour win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan. In total, the golfer claimed eight trophies on the big Tour before defecting to LIV.

His career-best ranking in the OWGR came in May of 2021, when he achieved the number 4 ranking.
<h2>Achievements in major events</h2>
In August of 2020, Bryson DeChambeau achieved his first-ever top-10 finish in a major championship at the PGA Championship, tying at the 4th place. A few weeks later, the golfer was able to achieve the much-desired major win at the 2020 U.S. Open.  The golfer was able to come from two strokes behind at the start of the final round to achieve a sensational win at the major tournament as he beat Matthew Wolff by six strokes.

Only two other golfers, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, have won the NCAA Individual Championship, the U.S. Amateur, and the U.S. Open during a career. The win further helped him take home $2,250,000 in earnings.
<h2><strong>Appearances for the U.S. national teams</strong></h2>
The golfer has also made several notable appearances for his country. As an amateur, he was a part of the 2014 team that emerged winner of the Eisenhower Trophy. He also set a tournament and course record of 61 in the tournament held in Karuizawa, Japan.

Later in 2021, he was part of the victorious Team U.S. that beat Team Europe at Whistling Straits for the Ryder Cup. The country won 19–9, with Dechambeau going 2–0–1. He also won his Sunday singles match against Sergio García.
<h2>Bryson DeChambeau LIV deal</h2>
In 2022, golfing world was in for a surprise as Bryson DeChambeau became one of the biggest names to defect to the LIV league. Per reports, the golfer was paid over $125 million for the defection. He was also one of the several golfers who later sued the Tour, citing attempts to monopolize golf and discourage competition from other leagues like LIV Golf.
<h2>Net worth and sponsorships</h2>
According to Golfspan, DeChambeau is worth around $14 million. After seeing massive success on the PGA Tour, DeChambeau was one of the biggest names to defect to Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Over the years, he has worked with a lot of big companies, including Bentley, Bridgestone, Rolex, Cobra-Puma, Bose, and NetJets, among others.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Dustin Johnson?Â </b></h2>
Dustin Hunter Johnson, also known as DJ, is an American professional golfer who currently plays on LIV Golf. One of the most prominent golfers of current times, Johnson picked up the sport at a very young age. Among his many accomplishments are two major victories and appearances for the US national team. Let's dive in to learn about Johnson's family, career wins, earnings, and more!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Scott Johnson and Kandee Nee Whisnant. He was the eldest of three children and has two siblings, Austin and Laurie. His father was a professional golfer and ran a pro shop. Johnson's grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an All-ACC basketball player in South Carolina. As a result, the golfer was athletic from a very young age.

It is no surprise that his father introduced him to the game of golf at the tender age of six. He soon started showing his golfing talent and, in the seventh grade, became a member of the Irmo High School varsity team.

[caption id="attachment_775288" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-775288" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-22T152608Z_673151991_UP1EH9M16VI0W_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-RYDERCUP.jpg" alt="Dustin Johnson at Ryder Cup" width="1920" height="1304" /> Golf - The 2020 Ryder Cup - Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. - September 22, 2021 Team USA's Dustin Johnson poses for a team group ahead of a practice round REUTERS/Brian Snyder[/caption]

The golfer's swing is mostly self-learned. He had grown up witnessing the swings of other players at the Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia. His father was a Club pro and would take him along to the range. Johnson's brother, Austin, is his longtime caddie and was on the bag during his 2020 Masters win.

The young Dustin's golfing career began to show promise as he set a record at the Coldstream Country Club in Irmo and Golden Hills Golf &amp; Country Club for shooting a pair of 64 on two consecutive days.

Johnson later transferred to Dutch Fork High School, and after graduating, he enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue sports management. But his eyes were set on something differentâ€”the PGA Tour. During his university days, Johnson trained under Allen Terrell, who guided the then-young talent toward achieving prestigious titles such as the Monroe Invitational, the Northeast Amateur and All-Big South honors at the Big South Conference Championship in his freshman year.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
The LIV Golfer met his now wife, Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary NHL star Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones, in 2013. The two started dating just before the 2013 PGA Tour season and by August of that year, Johnson popped the question to Gretzky, and the couple got engaged.

[caption id="attachment_1440505" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1440505" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0024394749h.jpg" alt="Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky" width="1920" height="1254" /> Johnson celebrates with partner, son after winning U.S. Open Dustin Johnson (C) of the United States celebrates with partner Paulina Gretzky (L) and their son Tatum after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 2016. Johnson claimed his first major title. PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxHUNxONLY<br /><br />[/caption]

Then, in 2015, they welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, on January 19. In the summer of 2017, the family of three became four with their second son, River Jones Johnson, on June 14th. The two finally decided to tie the knot on April 23, 2022. Paulina Gretzky never shied away from showing her love and support for her golf husband, she frequently posts about the couple on her Instagram and also took up the role of his caddie at the Master Par 3 contest in 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â </b></h2>
According to Forbes, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $107 million. The American has earned an estimated $102 million from prize winnings from tournaments and an additional $ million through endorsements. His $125 million move to LIV has also greatly boosted his earnings. The LIV golfer also made it to the 2023 edition of Forbes's The World's Highest-Paid Athletes and was given the sixth spot on the list.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Amateur CareerÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. His grandmother, Carole Jones, had called up the institute's coach, Allen Terrell, to explain how badly DJ wished to pursue golf.

As an amateur golfer, Johnson won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007. He was also part of the victorious Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Pro career</b></h2>
Dustin Johnson turned pro in 2007. He went on to earn his PGA Tour card by tying for 14th place at the 2007 qualifying school. In October of 2008, he won his first PGAT title at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in upstate New York.

Since his debut, Johnson has gone on to script several professional victories. He became No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time ever after winning the Genesis Open in February of 2017. With that win, he also became the only golfer besidesÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Tiger Woods</a>Â andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jack-nicklaus/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jack Nicklaus</a>Â to claim a title in each of their first seasons.

Before defecting to LIV, the golfer won 24 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major wins. He also claimed nine wins on the DP World Tour. Johnson is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He has won it six times, and only Tiger Woods has more wins than him.

After joining the Saudi-backed league, Johnson brought home his first LIV silverware at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational in Boston, and he went on to become the season-long Individual Champion of that year. The following year, he added another title to his winning list after defeating Cameron Smith at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa. His latest win came on the Vegas greens, as the 4Aces skipper <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-dustin-johnson-redemption-arc-complete-with-liv-golf-las-vegas-win-brooks-koepka-s-smash-gc-steals-team-title/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won the title of Individual Champion at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas</a> after carding a total of 12 under 198 at Las Vegas Country Club.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Since joining LIV Golf, DJ has seen exponential growth in his net worth, mostly due to his on-field earnings but his off-field earnings, which included various partnerships and brand endorsements, have been a major contributor as well. Many big brands, including BodyArmor, Hublot, NetJets, Perfect Practice, and TaylorMade have signed Johnson. The Royal Bank of Canada also sponsors the 39-year-old golfer. In February of 2023, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-better-for-us-to-part-ways-liv-golf-defector-dustin-johnson-finally-spills-beans-on-his-separation-with-longtime-sponsor-adidas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnson and Adidas mutually ended their long-term partnership.</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Move to LIV Golf</b></h2>

Dustin Johnson

Who is Dustin Johnson?Â  Dustin Hunter Johnson, also known as DJ, is an American professional golfer who currently plays on LIV Golf. One of the most prominent golfers of current times, Johnson picked up the sport at a very young age. Among his many accomplishments are two major victories and appearances for the US national team. Let&#8217;s dive in to learn about Johnson&#8217;s family, career wins, earnings, and more! Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Dustin Johnson was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Scott Johnson and Kandee Nee Whisnant. He was the eldest of three children and has two siblings, Austin and Laurie. His father was a professional golfer and ran a pro shop. Johnson&#8217;s grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an All-ACC basketball player in South Carolina. As a result, the golfer was athletic from a very young age. It is no surprise that his father introduced him to the game of golf at the tender age of six. He soon started showing his golfing talent and, in the seventh grade, became a member of the Irmo High School varsity team.

He had grown up witnessing the swings of other players at the Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia. His father was a Club pro and would take him along to the range. Johnson&#8217;s brother, Austin, is his longtime caddie and was on the bag during his 2020 Masters win. The young Dustin&#8217;s golfing career began to show promise as he set a record at the Coldstream Country Club in Irmo and Golden Hills Golf &amp; Country Club for shooting a pair of 64 on two consecutive days. Johnson later transferred to Dutch Fork High School, and after graduating, he enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue sports management. But his eyes were set on something differentâ€”the PGA Tour. During his university days, Johnson trained under Allen Terrell, who guided the then-young talent toward achieving prestigious titles such as the Monroe Invitational, the Northeast Amateur and All-Big South honors at the Big South Conference Championship in his freshman year. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Wife and Children The LIV Golfer met his now wife, Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary NHL star Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones, in 2013. The two started dating just before the 2013 PGA Tour season and by August of that year, Johnson popped the question to Gretzky, and the couple got engaged. Johnson celebrates with partner, son after winning U.S. Open Dustin Johnson (C) of the United States celebrates with partner Paulina Gretzky (L) and their son Tatum after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 2016. Johnson claimed his first major title. PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxHUNxONLY Then, in 2015, they welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, on January 19. In the summer of 2017, the family of three became four with their second son, River Jones Johnson, on June 14th. The two finally decided to tie the knot on April 23, 2022. Paulina Gretzky never shied away from showing her love and support for her golf husband, she frequently posts about the couple on her Instagram and also took up the role of his caddie at the Master Par 3 contest in 2023. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â  According to Forbes, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $107 million. The American has earned an estimated $102 million from prize winnings from tournaments and an additional $ million through endorsements. His $125 million move to LIV has also greatly boosted his earnings. The LIV golfer also made it to the 2023 edition of Forbes&#8217;s The World&#8217;s Highest-Paid Athletes and was given the sixth spot on the list. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Amateur CareerÂ  Dustin Johnson played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. His grandmother, Carole Jones, had called up the institute&#8217;s coach, Allen Terrell, to explain how badly DJ wished to pursue golf. As an amateur golfer, Johnson won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007. He was also part of the victorious Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams in 2007. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Pro career Dustin Johnson turned pro in 2007. He went on to earn his PGA Tour card by tying for 14th place at the 2007 qualifying school. In October of 2008, he won his first PGAT title at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in upstate New York. Since his debut, Johnson has gone on to script several professional victories. He became No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time ever after winning the Genesis Open in February of 2017. With that win, he also became the only golfer besidesÂ Tiger WoodsÂ andÂ Jack NicklausÂ to claim a title in each of their first seasons.

He also claimed nine wins on the DP World Tour. Johnson is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He has won it six times, and only Tiger Woods has more wins than him. After joining the Saudi-backed league, Johnson brought home his first LIV silverware at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational in Boston, and he went on to become the season-long Individual Champion of that year. The following year, he added another title to his winning list after defeating Cameron Smith at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa. His latest win came on the Vegas greens, as the 4Aces skipper won the title of Individual Champion at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas after carding a total of 12 under 198 at Las Vegas Country Club. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Since joining LIV Golf, DJ has seen exponential growth in his net worth, mostly due to his on-field earnings but his off-field earnings, which included various partnerships and brand endorsements, have been a major contributor as well. Many big brands, including BodyArmor, Hublot, NetJets, Perfect Practice, and TaylorMade have signed Johnson. The Royal Bank of Canada also sponsors the 39-year-old golfer. In February of 2023, Johnson and Adidas mutually ended their long-term partnership.
