Dustin Johnson

DJ’s swing is mostly self-taught

Dustin grew up watching the swings of other golfers at Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia, S.C., and applied it to his own game. His father, Scott, was a club pro, and took DJ to the range when he was 6.

“Little DJ had a swing with rhythm and tempo, and he could hit the fool out of the ball,” facility operator and teaching pro Jimmy Koosa told our Jaime Diaz.

DJ’s younger brother, Austin, is his caddie Dustin initially had Joe LaCava, Tiger Woods' current caddie, and Bobby Brown on the bag. Austin and Dustin are very close.
