Dustin Johnson once said, “I know that I’m one of the best golfers in the world.” Well, this sums it all up; the greatest list is incomplete without DJ. Two-time major champion Johnson is one of the fiercest competitors out there. And he has proved time and again why messing with him on the course could be the biggest error for many golfers.

However, golf is an individual sport. In the intense competitive zones, golfers need to take care of themselves a lot since there are no team members to give them mental support. These players are alone for the entirety of the game. That’s why, unlike the efforts of the team members, only individuals give themselves the glory. A little extra support from outside is always necessary. And thank God, ‘DJ’ is one of those lucky ones. Johnson’s better half is Paulina Gretzky, with whom he shares his roller coaster ride. Let’s take a look at their lovely relationship and get to know DJ’s leading lady.

Who is Johnson’s wife, Paulina Gretzky?

Even before marrying Johnson, Paulina Gretzky was associated with the world of sports. Born in Los Angeles, Gretzky is the first child of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, arguably the greatest ice hockey player of all time. She has three siblings as well.

Gretzky works as a model and actor. She made numerous film appearances, including Grown Ups 2, Fame, and Guns, Girls, and Gambling. In addition, the 34-year-old model has a strong enthusiasm for songwriting and signing, for which she already holds record deals. The MTV reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County used her song Collecting Dust.

Gretzky has also been featured on the front covers of Golf Digest and Flare. Paulina was listed as the 59th most desirable woman by AskMen in 2014. She is also very active on social media, with 1 million followers on her Instagram.

The love life of Paulina and Dustin Johnson

The Beckhams of Golf, Paulina, and DJ met in 2009, but in 2013, they started dating officially and soon got engaged. The couple welcomed their first son, Tatum, in 2015. And they became the parents of their second son, River. Finally, last year, in April, the lovebirds tied the knot in Tennessee. They exchanged their vows at the luxurious Blackberry Farm.

At this point, the DJ’s small family is more significant to him than his game, and he couldn’t ask for anything more. “For me, golf was always the most important thing. And now, it’s Paulina and the kids,” he said. “And they’ll always be the most important. Obviously, I love the game of golf—competing and playing. But they’re the most important thing.” 

Despite Paulina’s confession that she had no prior interest in golf, she now frequently joins DJ on the course to cheer him on. “I needed to be there for him to support him, love him, and make sure he was accomplishing what he needed to do,” said Mrs. Johnson.

Special support in turbulent times

When LIV Golf came into existence, it was a menace to the established leagues for poaching the best golfers. So when the PGA Tour’s big-face DJ announced that he would be joining the new league, his decision got scrutinized heavily, as many believed that he chose money over legacy. But his wife was by his side at all times.

Gretzky spoke about her husband’s transition to the Saudi-sponsored circuit in the Netflix documentary ‘Full Swing.’ The relaxed schedule compared to the PGA Tour was the primary driver for converting to the new league. Gretzky thought back to her early years when her father was extremely preoccupied with gaming and didn’t always spend time with his children. “I don’t think Dustin would ever make a bad choice for his children, and people have to understand that at the end of the day, that’s who he chose this for,” Gretzky explained.

Since the beginning, their relationship has been marked by love and deep affection. DJ needs his beloved wife’s support more than ever right now as he gears up for the upcoming LIV golf tournament in Jeddah.
