Dustin Johnson splits with swing coach Claude Harmon

Published

on

Ahead of this month’s U.S. Open, Dustin Johnson has announced that he is no longer working with swing coach Claude Harmon.

Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis broke the news on Sunday at the Memorial, reporting that Harmon had told him of his surprise to see Johnson working with instructor Allen Terrell at Bethpage, and when Harmon attempted to contact the world number two concerning his work with Terrell, Johnson didn’t respond.

Johnson, who had been working with Harmon for five years, informed the swing coach of the split via text message over the weekend.

In a statement released by Johnson’s manager, the 34-year-old paid tribute to his former coach, saying

“I have great respect for Claude, both as an instructor and friend, and appreciate all he has done to further my career. He has undoubtedly helped me reach many of my goals.”

Johnson will continue to work with Butch Harmon via video and in Las Vegas as well as with Allen Terrell.

    He probably just got fed up with Claude helping Koepka win majors. Sounds to me like he wasn’t get preferential treatment anymore.

    So Dustin breaks up via text message? Sounds like something a 12 year old girl would do.

      Sounds like something our president would do. Oh, wait….he has done it. Several times.

        Just like the same way Obama told the American people, he was giving Iran $1.7 billion in cash to Iran until the last minute.

        Are you an illegal JimK? Worried that you may not get your free handout on the backs of hard working Americans?

        Your TDS is severe, might be time to seek help.

    Cowardly by DJ. No, he isn’t required to continue using Harmon; it’s not like they have a binding contract. But to refuse to even respond to a guy whose been helping you for 5 years and then to dump him by text only when the story gets out is a punk move. Man up and tell the guy to his face that you’re going in a different direction.

    I guess its hard for DJ to promote the Dustin Johnson Golf School when he uses a different instructor from whats at his school. I guess getting junior golfers to pay $160 an hour for lessons at his “school” is more important that having personal success on tour.

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.

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.

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.

Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
