Dustin Johnson didn’t leave the PGA Tour as a fading star. He left as a 24-time PGA Tour winner, a two-time major champion, and one of golf’s most effortless dominators. When he shocked the sport by joining LIV Golf in 2022, the move raised one big question: Could he still perform at the level that made him world No. 1?

Three seasons later, we finally have a clear answer. And the numbers tell a story just as compelling as his resume. Johnson entered LIV Golf with enormous expectations and enormous pressure.

He was one of the league’s marquee signings, reportedly receiving a $125 million guaranteed contract. The weight of that investment made every shot feel like a referendum on whether the risk was worth it.

But DJ responded the only way he knows how: by winning. His first season set the tone. He won the 2022 LIV Golf Boston title and later wrapped up the year as the season-long Individual Champion, finishing as LIV’s top performer.

Johnson finished with 135 points, and not only did he top the leaderboard, but he did it by a wide margin. Branden Grace was a distant runner-up with just 79.

The American professional golfer’s first season set the tone. Johnson captured the 2022 LIV Golf Boston title, then closed out the inaugural year as champion of the season-long Individual Championship, finishing as LIV’s top overall performer. The following seasons reinforced that he wasn’t slowing down.

• 2023: Won LIV Golf Tulsa
• 2024: Won LIV Golf Las Vegas

Three wins in three seasons. This is proof that his game still packs the same punch.

Major Results Since Dustin Johnson Joined LIV

Even as a LIV player, Johnson has remained competitive in majors, helped by being eligible as a past champion. Notable finishes since 2022 include:

• 2023 U.S. Open – T10
• 2023 Masters – T48
• 2024 Masters – T30

He hasn’t contended for a major title since leaving the PGA Tour, but he’s consistently played well enough to remain relevant on golf’s biggest stages.

Earnings Breakdown: The LIV Effect

If the PGA Tour defined Johnson’s legacy, LIV Golf has defined his financial peak. According to Spotrac and LIV Golf earnings trackers, here’s how his post-2022 income stacks up:

• 2022 Earnings after Joining LIV Golf: $39,603,016 ($8,987,767 from individual earnings)
• 2023 Earnings: $12,447,915 ($8,745,887 from individual earnings)
• 2024 Earnings: $8,132,522 ($6,918,333 from individual earnings)
• 2025 till now: $6,243,498 ($4,705,458 from individual earnings)

So one thing is clear: Despite not winning any majors since his move to LIV, Dustin Johnson's earning have not really slowed down.
