Dustin Johnson issues sarcastic "regret" reply over LIV Golf move after banking £27m

LIV Golf series champion Dustin Johnson has joked about his "regret" after taking his winnings in the rebel series to a mammoth £27 million.

The former world No 1 finished 16th in the latest LIV event in Bangkok, handing him an insurmountable 42-point lead over South Africa's Brandon Grace ahead of the final tournament in Jeddah this weekend. That bagged him a £16 million bonus to go with his winnings so far, having been boosted by his dramatic playoff win in Boston.

The 38-year-old sent shockwaves through the sport in June when he signed for Greg Norman for a reported fee in the region of £100 million. Unlike the majority of defectors who are still bidding to play in PGA Tour events, Johnson immediately announced he was resigning his card to focus solely on his new venture.
