Dustin Johnson, former World No. 1 ranked and two-time major winner, rammed home a 55-foot eagle putt in a three-way playoff for his maiden win on the new LIV Golf Series in Boston on Sept. 4.
Johnson’s victory purse of $4 million takes his individual earnings half-way through the LIV Golf inaugural season to $7.7 million, and nearly $10 million total from three straight team victories in four events.
“It’s a great victory. Obviously we’ve got a great field, a lot of great players. Yeah, it’s up there for sure.” said Johnson.
