LIV rebel Dustin Johnson set for harsh reality he hasn’t experienced for 13 years

Dustin Johnson 's PGA career is poised to hit a 13-year low as the former world No. 1 prepares to drop outside the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Johnson, 38, was one of LIV Golf 's headline recruits prior to its inaugural event at the Centurion Club in June 2022. The former world No. 1 resigned from the PGA Tour on the eve of the Hertfordshire contest and went on to become the first LIV Invitational Series winner, earning a little more than £30million in prize money.

However, the 2016 U.S. Open and 2020 Masters champion has played in just two OWGR event since transitioning to the Saudi-funded series last year. Johnson has boasted top-50 status since he first hit that benchmark in January 2010, and his imminent fall outside the elite—as projected by OWGR whiz @VC606—will mark the end of an era.
