What fall? He was over golf and took the money. He didn't want to play a full schedule any more. He achieved what he needed to in the game & now he wants to spend value time with his family and having fun. Smart move!

[@BirdieBiographies]

Why not say that instead of getting quoted that he wants to try harder!

[@cjsmith8319]

Say what you will, but the reason I supported DJ for years was his composure. He kept a stone cold face through every tournament/major. He never broke a club, swore, or threw a fit. He also never failed to take accountability when he couldn’t finish strong. To me, the man is a champion.

[@David-ke5nm]

The decision to put that music in is astonishing

[@johnbones7691]

At 3:22 you mentioned "A rookie error"- I remember this event whenever it aired...It was really a rookie error because (if I recall correctly), this was a local rule at Whistling Straits. This was a shock for MANY watchers at the time. Many golfers were calling the rule on themselves. It's just that Dustin Johnson's enforcement was really televised and the most unfortunate.

[@BirdieBiographies]

There were posters all over the locker room stating that it was to be classed as bunker

@@BirdieBiographies So why were people standing in it then?

[@iggi3985]

The PGA schedule is pretty full on, and a lot of players have voiced their dislike of having to travel so much. Why wouldn’t you take an Opportunity to play less and get paid more? Doesn’t mean that LIV players are less dedicated or lack the drive of their PGA counterparts

DJ could’ve done so much more. If his drive (no pun intended) matched his talent, we fans would be watching him continue to do great things in the majors. All that $$ softened him up IMO.

[@jordy7540]

Don’t rip on him for what he hasn’t done, take a look at what he has done which is 99.9% better than any other pro. Pretty sure almost anybody would be happy with his career

[@BirdieBiographies]

Players with no Majors would be happy with his career but do you reckon Dustin is happy with 2 Majors? 🧐

[@jimmythorpe65]

I think he would be pretty happy, he’s had a great career Obviously a few near misses on some majors but overall really good career with: 24 pga victories Second most WGC events 2 majors At least one LIV event a season since he’s been there And as you said a player without a major would be happy with his career but he has two after overcoming his mental weaknesses which makes it even sweeter

[@BirdieBiographies]

@@flash521 Is the packed schedule the reason we see many players at the top for a few years but not able to sustain it?

[@flash521]

@@BirdieBiographies That my friend is a very good question. When studying sensational sport figures they all have their peaks. They don’t equally last. Golf greats like Jordan Speith, or Rory, or Camron, or add plenty to the list, looked like they would dominate for years and then it just doesn’t happen, they suddenly ebb. Someone else rises, but more often the previous dominant just can’t keep playing at such a sustained high performance. Tiger Woods is incredible for his sustained performance FOR YEARS and then the ability to comeback, but he could not keep momentum. Yet he is capable of hitting great shots. In his case, he has physical challenges. So, it can be age and injury. Injury can occur because of too MUCH play. But that doesn’t explain the young Jordans, Rorys, Jason Day, Camrons, on and on. It is likely more staying at a mental peak and skill peak simultaneously can’t be done; especially week, after week, after week. That likely varies with each player. For myself - LOL - I once took two years off from ⛳️ golf. Then my brother came out to play golf, with me. I did,Okay and the next week I won our faculty tournament (a field of just over 60). Only tournament I have ever won in golf and it was after a sustained break from the game. Then again, I wasn’t playing anything close PGA, but some players who competed played all the time. Sports is both an inward and outward game that leaves us wondering and fascinated about developing and sustaining peak performance.

How do you work out he's fallen? He's a multiple major winner - $100M+ in the bank, still playing well on LIV Tour, maybe not well enough to win atm but there is some GOOD players in LIV, if you haven't noticed. This video was shit, really.

[@BirdieBiographies]

I appreciate your perspective on the player's performance but I expect better from one of my favourite golfers.

[@MrBudcole]

@@BirdieBiographies He is currently Tied 15th at the '24 Open, and even ESPN joked "you might not even know he is playing because they haven't showed DJ even once". I don't care if anyone likes him or not, but they showed shots (bad ones) from Tiger, Dechambeau, McIlroy, Hovland, you name it - none of those guys made the cut... and I agree with the ESPN guy, they haven't shown DJ even ONCE, and I've watched the entire replays. Several years ago, the PGA officials decided they didn't like Vijay Singh, and - even though he was tied for 3rd at the John Deer Classic - they never showed a single shot. In fact, he was playing with Jim Furyk, who was two shots behind him, and they showed Furyk missing a birdie putt - and Vijay was in the background (Vijay made his birdie), and they never even mentioned him, or showed his putt. They decide who you get to watch! This video is pure negative propaganda - exemplified by the ridiculous "the virus has spread" music!

[@BirdieBiographies]

@@MrBudcole Hi MrBudcole not sure what you mean reference the music. I wouldn't really expect them to show him unless he was near the top of the leaderboard. The guys you mentioned are bigger names + you would have the guys at the top of the leaderboard. That is probably enough players to be showing. Could also be that they don't show as many LIV golfers as we might like!

[@michaelscore6763]

What a stupid video! He grounded his club 2010 not knowing that it's a bunker - and yeah, it's extremely difficult to decide on this case! Look for example at Pinehurst, this course is is full of natural sand! And the 2010 pga championship isn't won by Rory Mcilroy, it's won by Martin Kaymer! Dustin Johnson is a fantastic player with ups and downs in his career. Andy it's better loosing a tournament with a round of 82 than with missing puts from 3 feet.... Johnson maybe misses a cut with 80s rounds, but two weeks later he wins the masters. And so there is no blame for him, he is one of the best!

[@robertbranco1126]

Was there also a rumor he had a affair with another golfers wife or wife’s along with test positive at that time

[@michaelscore6763]

Who payed this video? Jay monahan from the PGA? LIV golf is a tough event with most of the best players of the world. Winning a LIV event is extremely difficulty against competitors like Bryson, Cam Smith, Hatton or John Rahm. If 14 LIV players start in a major then 10 makeup they cut - that's 2/3 of them! On the other side the PGA players struggle and less than 40% make the cut.... Then truth is thats players from LIV or Europe are better at the end than the PGA tour players in total. Cheers

[@BirdieBiographies]

[@zero2herogolf]

All the money in the world makes not a happy man. He doesn't get world golf rankings, he doesn't get to play against the best on the PGA. What did he get for selling his soul; He plays 3 rounds of guaranteed contract money with no cut in shorts with LOUD dance club music. Where's the challenge that pushes people to become better than they were yesterday? No where! His legacy is gone, faded away like dust. Which is the fate of all the LIV players. They just don't know it yet.
