Dustin Johnson has officially resigned his PGA Tour membership, and he said Tuesday he plans to play only in LIV Golf events and major championships going forward.
Johnson, who has been a member of the Tour since 2008, announced the news at a press conference on Tuesday, ahead of LIV Golf’s first event at Centurion Golf Club. His decision follows similar ones made by Kevin Na, Sergio Garcia, Branden Grace and Charl Schwartzel, all of whom will face ramifications for the move.
Among the most severe consequences that Johnson and others are expected to face is ineligibility for future Ryder Cups. Players are required to be members of the PGA of America to be considered for team selection, and members of the PGA Tour are given automatic membership into the PGA of America.
