Dustin Johnson

Peak: 2020 — Dustin Johnson rates 92 overall in the legends pool, an Apex Ball-Striker build with power the clear peak at S.

• Power sits at S for Johnson, a clear strength across the legends pool: only 3 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• At B+, Johnson's accuracy rating is a touch below tour-average (32nd percentile of the legends pool) — 17 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• Iron Play A+ — a shade above the pool average in the legends pool; 8 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• At A-, Johnson's short game rating is a touch below tour-average (32nd percentile of the legends pool) — 17 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• Putting A — modestly above average in the legends pool; 8 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
• Course IQ sits at A- for Johnson, the clearest weak point in the profile across the legends pool: 20 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• Nerve A — a mild soft spot in the legends pool; 18 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency A+ — well above the pool average in the legends pool; 6 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
• Engine A — a shade above the pool average in the legends pool; 10 of the other 25 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Apex Ball-Striker. Built around the tee shot and the approach: when power and iron play both sit this high, a lot of holes turn into a wedge and a putt for birdie.
