I have the ability to achieve something Woods did only once in his career: Johnson

PGA

Posted by Admin 05 Jan 2018

Dustin Johnson is the man in the big picture.

 

Johnson, 33, who has won seven times on the PGA Tour over the past two years, has stood proud atop the world rankings for 46 consecutive weeks. And he's not ready to step down anytime soon.

During his pre-tournament press conference at this week's Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, the big-hitting American was asked if he felt it was possible for any golfer to win nine or more times in a single season.

 

Johnson didn't hesitate to say yes, and he focused on one golfer in particular. Himself.

 

Johnson, who won four times in 2017, was all over it.

 

"I believe so. I definitely think I can," said Johnson, who has won at least once a year on the PGA Tour ever since he joined the circuit in 2008 except for the year of 2014.

 

"Obviously I'm going to have to play very good golf, the guys out here, as you all know, there's a lot of really good players out here on tour and for me to do that I'm going to have to play some really good golf, but definitely capable of it."

 

 We've seen similar hot stretches in recent years from Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year Justin Thomas. And none of those guys cracked the five-win barrier. So even for a player of Johnson's caliber, a nine-win campaign seems like an improbable accomplishment, especially in an era where top players typically don't tee it up more than 20 times a year.
