Dustin Johnson is excited to get back on the course, but he’ll be even happier once fans are able to attend.
Golf fans have seen some of their favourite PGA stars in action already — including Johnson — with recent events that raised over $25 million combined for COVID-19 relief. Johnson won the TaylorMade Driving Relief skins match with Rory McIlroy on May 17, before Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning teamed up to win The Match II on May 24 against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
So in that way, Johnson already has some experience playing without fans. But he’s hopeful it won’t have to be that way for too long. “I think things will evolve rather quickly, hopefully, and we can get fans back out there,” Johnson said. “It’s definitely gonna be a different mindset. Because I think the fans bring a lot to the sport — they bring a lot to every sport.”
Fans or no fans, Johnson is eager for the Tour to resume. The former world No. 1 missed the first three and a half months of the season recovering from knee surgery, which he said has “healed up great.” His quarantine routine of hanging around the house has transformed in recent weeks, now that golf’s return is around the corner. Feeling healthy, Johnson is ready to make up for lost time.
