Dustin Johnson

Dominated the 2020 Masters, holding at least a share of the lead after every round and eventually winning by five strokes with a tournament-best total of 268.  

That represented 20-under-par, which equalled the major record of Jason Day and Henrik Stenson.

Johnson’s first major success came at the 2016 US Open, where he started the final round four behind Shane Lowry and won by three even with a one-stroke penalty for his ball moving a fraction as he prepared to putt.

He was joint runner-up behind Darren Clarke in The Open at Royal St George's in 2011, and also came second in the 2015 US Open, three-putting the last to lose by one, plus the 2019 Masters and the 2019 and 2020 PGA Championships.

First led the world rankings in February 2017 and also collected six World Golf Championships and 24 PGA Tour titles before joining LIV Golf, where he won their inaugural £16million top individual prize.

Might also have won the 2010 PGA Championship but for a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in what was controversially deemed to be a bunker. On the same course, at the 2021 Ryder Cup, Johnson became the first American since 1979 to win all his five games.
