Dustin Johnson lands £3.5m LIV Golf pay day as 35-foot eagle earns first win for 19 months

Dustin Johnson's long wait for a golf tournament win is over after the American won the latest LIV Golf event in Boston in sensational fashion.

The two-time major champion, who resigned his PGA Tour card in June, sank a 35-putt for eagle at the first hole of the sudden-death playoff hole to beat Joaquin Niemann and Anirban Lahiri. The triumph landed him a cool £3.48 million, taking his total LIV earnings to £8.6 million in just three months.

And it couldn't have been sealed in better style, with his monster effort on the replayed 18th hole seemingly gathering pace before rattling the back of the cup and resting in the hole. It prompted huge roars from the crowd in attendance at The Oaks, with Johnson reacting with a volatile 'high-five' to brother and caddie Austin Johnson.
