Dustin Johnson

Representing United States on LIV Golf, Dustin Johnson carries a 76 overall rating and a Feast or Famine profile, built around power graded A, which leads every other attribute on the card.

• Power A — elite in the 2025–26 pool; only 8 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• Accuracy sits at B for D. Johnson, a touch below tour-average across the 2025–26 pool: 55 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• At B, D. Johnson's iron play rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (27th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 69 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• At B, D. Johnson's short game rating is a mild soft spot (33rd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 64 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At C, D. Johnson's putting rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (19th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 77 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
• At B+, D. Johnson's course iq rating is modestly above average (62nd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 36 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• Nerve sits at B+ for D. Johnson, modestly above average across the 2025–26 pool: 46 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• At C, D. Johnson's consistency rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (7th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
• At C, D. Johnson's engine rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (8th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Feast or Famine. A feast-or-famine build — power runs well ahead of consistency, which means huge weeks are on the table but so are the disaster rounds that undo them.
