Janet Jones has always shown support for Dustin Johnson in his highs and lows. In 2014, Dustin Johnson shocked his fans by announcing his break from golf. He told the media that he took a voluntary leave from the PGA Tour. However, reports indicated that he failed the cocaine test that year. So, when the news broke the internet, Janet was there to defend his grace.

Coming in support of him, Janet Jones told in an interview in 2015, that it was a tough time for Johnson and that he met very restricted groups of people then. “Maybe he wasn’t comfortable in his own skin before,” expressed Jones. She also indicated that perhaps it was tough for the golfer to distinguish his real friends from the bunch. It might be the hardest climb of his life but Johnson bounced right back eventually. 

Fast forward to now, although the first day at the Masters 2023 had an average start for him, the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series winner is currently at one-under-par, tied for 26th position along with 11 others. Hopefully, fans will see him shine ahead in the tournament.
