Dustin Johnson questionable after injuring lower back in “serious fall”

Published

on

Dustin Johnson, the world’s No. 1-ranked player who came into the 2017 Masters as the favorite to win, may not play in the tournament after suffering a lower back injury on Wednesday.

“At roughly 3:00 pm today, Dustin took a serious fall on a staircase in his Augusta rental home,” his agent David Winkle said in a statement. “He landed very hard on his lower back and is now resting, although quite uncomfortably. He has been advised to remain immobile and begin a regimen of anti-inflammatory medication and icing, with the hope of being able to play tomorrow.”

Johnson has won in each of his three previous starts, which includes two World Golf Championships. He claimed his first major victory in the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont and is looking to win his first Green Jacket this week, pending his physical condition.

    DJ is the man in golf right now. Hopefully, he gets to play….but if he is really injured, better to sit out, heal, and come back stronger. For all the DJ haters out there… I am sure you make excuses for everything Tiger did back in the day, and continues to do. DJ needed help, got it, and has moved on. I love watching him play, and am glad he is killing it out there. The better he gets at putting, the more second place is the only option for everyone else.

    I only hope that nobody will be using Lexi’s “method” to win the tournament.

GolfWRX’s Father’s Day Gift Guide (2026)

Published

on

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

World Cup golf apparel

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
