News Summary
Dustin Johnson’s ongoing struggles continued at the 2025 Masters in Augusta, where he finished just above the cut line with a score of 73.

With opportunities dwindling for upcoming majors, Johnson remains hopeful for a comeback as he prepares for the PGA Championship.
Augusta, Georgia – Dustin Johnson’s Majors Struggles Continue at the 2025 Masters
The gorgeous greens of Augusta National have always been a challenge, but this year, they delivered a particularly tough blow to Dustin Johnson. The 2025 Masters saw him wrap up his second round with a score of 73, landing him just one shot over the projected cut line. Unfortunately, his golfing journey in this iconic tournament came to an abrupt end as he finished with a lackluster bogey-double bogey on the challenging 17th and 18th holes.
A Tough Finish and Missed Opportunities
With a total score of three-over-par 147 after 36 holes, Johnson faced disappointment once again. This is becoming an all-too-familiar feeling for the seasoned golfer, as this marks the third time in the last five years that he has found himself missing the cut at the Masters. It’s been quite some time since he claimed the prestigious green jacket back in 2020, and since then, he has yet to make a top 10 finish at Augusta. So, one can’t help but wonder what’s going on with the golfer who once seemed to have it all going for him.
Struggles Since Joining LIV Golf
Ever since his switch to LIV Golf, the questions have been swirling about Johnson’s performance levels. With only four out of his last eleven major tournaments ending in a missed cut, his journey has raised eyebrows. Critics have pointed out that for a player who signed on for a whopping $125 million, those kinds of struggles seem hard to fathom. His current world ranking hovers in the 600s, which is quite a far cry from the days when Johnson dominated the leaderboards.
Future Prospects: The Road Ahead
Looking ahead, Johnson has only a couple of opportunities left to qualify for the upcoming U.S. Open, along with one chance for both the PGA and British Open under his five-year exemption. As he sets his eyes on the next major, which is the PGA Championship, there is a sense of urgency from the golfer, especially as he gears up to celebrate his 41st birthday soon after the U.S. Open. Timing is of the essence, as he acknowledges the need to clean up any mistakes if he wants to regain that competitive edge.
Glimmers of Hope
While recent form hasn’t been sparkling, Johnson insists that he is confident in his ball-striking and believes he’s playing better than the scores indicate. It’s refreshing to see him hold onto hope, knowing that major championship opportunities keep knocking on his door. With the U.S. Open returning to Oakmont—the site of his first major victory in 2016—there’s certainly a glimmer of hope that he can turn things around, provided he can limit the mistakes that have plagued him in recent outings.
Fans Can Expect a Fight
As we await the future performances of Johnson, there’s an air of anticipation for how he will approach these upcoming challenges. Can he muster the strength and skill to rise again and reclaim his spot among the golf elite? Only time will tell, but amidst the challenges, one thing is clear—a fierce competitor like Dustin Johnson won’t go down without a fight. His passion and dedication to the game remain unshakeable, and there’s always hope for a comeback. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for what’s next in store for this enigma of a golfer!
