“It’s how I make my money” – Dustin Johnson on why he ‘can’t live without’ his golf clubs

  • by

There are things that a person can never live without. But what things can’t a world-class golfer live without?

US golfer Dustin Johnson appeared on the GQ Sports YouTube video in April last year for their popular segment of ’10 Essentials’. Johnson listed 10 things that he absolutely cannot live without.

After his family and phone, his golf clubs came third on that list. He explained his decision by saying:

“An absolute essential item for me would be my golf clubs. It’s how I make my money. It’s how I live, how I support my family. So, it’s something that’s very important to me and that I use pretty much daily.”

He added that golf was a huge part of his life.

“Yeah, I mean, obviously golf is a huge part of my life and definitely, definitely can’t live without it.”

He, however, picked his driver and putter over his other golf clubs. He said his putter was there when he won the Masters and the FedEx Cup. He talked about this decision:

“They are all my go-to clubs but I’d say I got two. That’ be the driver, very important to my game and how I perform is, how I drive it. But then probably more important than just the driver would be the putter. And this putter here, it’s got quite a few wins. Was in the bag at the Masters, the FedExCup, it’s been in the bag for…I think I got 14 wins with it or something. So, with that putter, like that specific one.”
