Dustin Johnson Ryder Cup record: Exploring the stats of US Golfer ahead of 2023 event in Rome
The much-awaited Ryder Cup competition is just around the corner. Unfortunately, this time, Dustin Johnson won't be teeing off for the Ryder Cup match because he failed to manage to be in the captain's Zach Johnson pick. However, the 39-year-old American professional golfer has previously won the tournament two times.
Since turning pro in late 2007, DJ has been able to participate five times in the Ryder Cup competition. He is among the six players to go 5-0-0 in the Ryder Cup matches.
Not only that, but the previous time the two sides squared off in the biannual tournament, Johnson played a critical role in letting Team USA win. However, due to his current association with LIV Golf, Johnson was not able to get a thumbs-up to fly to Rome.
Also, if we consider his performances for this season, it wasn't up to the mark that could have made the captain pick him. And hence, Captain Johnson and Fred Couple choose other players to be in the team's lineup.
The Ryder Cup that is going to begin tomorrow will feature twelve golfers' names by the USA side. Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns, Brooks Koepka, and Brian Harman are among the contenders who are going to represent Team USA on European soil.
