Dustin Johnson’s Net Worth $20 Million
Johnson was born in Columbia, South Carolina and grew up with three siblings. His parents, Kandee and Scott, divorced in the late 90s, leading to the separation of the children. Johnson discovered his passion for golf at an early age during visits to the driving range at Mid-Carolina Club in Prosperity, South Carolina, where his father worked as a golf professional.
He later played golf for Coastal Carolina University, gaining recognition in 2007 by winning the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur. By the end of the year, he turned professional and acquired his PGA Tour card in 2008.
Johnson’s career surged when he secured his first PGA Tour victory at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in late 2008. He continued to triumph, winning another tournament at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 2009 and finishing the season ranked 15th on the PGA Tour.
In 2010, Johnson clinched his fourth PGA tour win, amassing over $4 million in earnings by year-end, thus bolstering his net worth. His winning streak continued as he claimed victory at The Barclays in 2011, marking his fifth PGA triumph. Despite encountering back injuries in 2012, he triumphed at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, securing his sixth win. In 2013, he added another victory to his name at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, further contributing to his net worth.
In 2014, Johnson took a six-month hiatus from the sports world, citing personal reasons amidst rumors of drug-related issues, which he dismissed. He made a comeback in early 2015 at the Farmers Insurance Open, accumulating two amateur wins and 11 professional victories by the end of the year. Over eight years of professional golf, he had amassed almost $28 million in prize money, thus elevating his popularity and net worth.
Despite his busy career, Johnson ventured into the education sector, establishing the Dustin Johnson Golf School in 2013 under the guidance of coach Allen Terrell.
On the personal front, Johnson is engaged to Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky. They met in 2013 and welcomed their first child, Tatum, two years later. The couple is yet to tie the knot.
