Dustin Johnson has made headlines after missing the cut at the Saudi International. The former world number one shared with Flushing It that he will keep the same lineup for his 4Aces team in the upcoming season, which features Patrick Reed, Harold Varner III, and Thomas Pieters. Reed, a past Masters champion, solidified his position on the roster by finishing seventh in the LIV standings this year, while both Pieters and Varner also performed well enough, finishing in the top 24, ensuring their spots unless trades occur.
Despite finishing seventh in the Team Championship, Johnson has opted for stability within his team rather than making any significant changes. He has cited struggles with his driving game as a contributing factor to his recent performance. “I won early in the last year or last season in Vegas. But since then, I’ve really struggled with the driver, which is generally the best part of my game,” he admitted. This inconsistency has put additional pressure on the other aspects of his game, highlighting the crucial role that driving plays in his overall performance.
Looking ahead, Johnson remains positive about his prospects. “I feel like the game’s been in good form,” he stated, expressing his belief that improvements are on the horizon. With a strong team backing him and a hopeful attitude, Johnson aims to regain his competitive edge. Fans and followers of the sport will be eagerly watching to see how he bounces back in the upcoming season.
