STERLING, Va. – The captain of 4Aces GC extends his streak of Major appearances to 69. Two-time Major winner Dustin Johnson will compete next week at the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club after receiving a special invitation from the PGA of America. This marks the 69th consecutive Major for which the 4Aces GC captain is eligible.
“I've been qualified for every Major for a long time,” Johnson said. “So, I'm definitely really looking forward to playing. The PGA of America and I have a great relationship. I've supported them for a long time. I'm very, very grateful for the invitation and feel very honored. My game is good enough to definitely compete. So, I hope next week is a great week.”
The streak of 69 consecutive Majors is a testament to how long Johnson has been one of the most important figures in golf. It speaks to a Hall of Fame-worthy career marked by sustained excellence and longevity at the highest level. Now 41 years old, Johnson is approaching the twilight of his career and has a third Major title in his sights, in addition to his victories at the 2016 U.S. Open and the 2020 Masters.
“Yeah, I mean, it's crazy,” Johnson said about his streak of 69 Majors. “Obviously, I've played very, very well for a very, very long time. I had a little bit of a rough patch for about a year where I wasn't hitting the driver well, but the game is starting to come around. I've been playing better over the last six months or so. Driving is the biggest part of my game, and it's coming back. Now I can focus back on my short game, putting, and wedges, just like in my prime. The putter has been huge – it gives you confidence for the entire bag.”
