With the arrival of LIV Golf on the golf scene, a large number of golfers decided to end their adventure with the PGA Tour and join the Saudi project. The public reaction was strong and almost no one was positive towards such a project.
Dustin Johnson was among the first to join LIV Golf three years ago. Judging by media headlines, his contract was worth more than 100 million dollars, and for months there has been speculation about whether the American golfer will extend his contract.
According to American media reports, Dustin Johnson signed a new contract with LIV Golf today, while the details of the contract are still unknown.
"Multiple sources confirm that Dustin Johnson has signed a new contract with LIV Golf," Flush it posted on X. "The details of the deal are unknown at this stage, but the 2022 Individual Championship winner was in New York recently to meet with officials and will be returning as captain of 4 Aces GC in 2026.
There's been lots of speculation about star names leaving the league, but we understand that most players up for renewal this year have already agreed terms and will be teeing it up next season, with all players not released or relegated also expected to do so."
The ambitions of this league
He will be an important figure for his 4 Aces GC team next year, with the aim of triumphing and finally achieving the success they dream of.
The leaders of the Saudi-backed tour are aware of the rumors and the wishes of individuals for Johnson and his colleagues to leave LIV Golf, but they believe that LIV is a project that has yet to show its full glory and dominance as expected.
Keeping such players is certainly the key to the success of this story, but the leaders have no intention of stopping with new engagements, and are even ready to bring in new names that could improve their status on the golf scene.
Judging by media headlines, LIV has no intention of hiring top names from the PGA Tour, but rather focuses on young players who can help LIV in the long run.
Several more players are set to extend their contracts with the Saudi-backed tour, and we will see how ready they are to take such a step, considering that not playing in the Majors is a big minus for them.
