Overview

  • Reports from Flushing It, echoed by multiple outlets, say Johnson agreed an extension through 2026 and is set to continue as 4 Aces GC captain, with financial terms undisclosed.
  • Johnson first joined LIV in June 2022 on a deal believed to exceed $100 million, and his renewal highlights the league's push to secure second contracts for early signees.
  • His recent results show a prolonged dip in form, including missed cuts at the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open, a T23 at The Open, and a current OWGR of 595th.
  • Johnson finished T15 at the International Series Philippines and is on the verge of his first winless season since 2014.
  • He has stated a goal of making the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup team, while speculation continues about other expiring LIV deals such as Brooks Koepka's and potential PGA Tour re-entry hurdles.
