Paulina Gretzky, the wife of LIV Golf<\/a>\u2019s Dustin Johnson and daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, opened up about her husband\u2019s shocking departure from the PGA Tour to join the Saudi Arabia-backed tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LIV Golf has created a power duel in the sport of golf, poaching some of the world\u2019s best to join their tour, including Johnson, who was already a big face on the PGA Tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Netflix\u2019s new docuseries, “Full Swing,” which follows some of the best golfers in the world on both tours, Gretzky discussed Johnson\u2019s move to LIV Golf thoroughly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think Dustin would ever make a bad choice for his children, and people have to understand at the end of the day, that\u2019s who he chose this for,” Gretzky explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their two sons, Tatum and River, are eight and five years old, respectively. One of the main pros for joining LIV Golf is the fact that Johnson doesn\u2019t have to play as many events per year<\/a>. There are also only three rounds played per tournament, which means 54 holes, compared to the PGA Tour\u2019s 72.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the biggest appeal for those wishing to join LIV Golf was the payouts. Players like Johnson got guaranteed money up front to join the controversial tour, and there are guaranteed payouts per event, even if a player doesn\u2019t make the cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But family time is certainly a big factor in why Johnson moved on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Of course, I get what everyone\u2019s saying, but my dad being a hockey player \u2013 I\u2019m sure as a kid, there were times when I\u2019m like, \u2018Why does my dad have to play on my birthday?\u2019 This is about Dustin and the kids and me and taking care of us and being there with us.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve had a wonderful career on the PGA Tour, and I\u2019m very proud of it, and always will be,” Johnson, the 2016 U.S Open and 2020 Masters win, added. “Obviously, now I\u2019ve taken kind of a different step in my life and career.”<\/p>\n

Johnson, 38, reportedly received $125 million to move on to LIV Golf, and he made $35 million in winnings in his first season as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The decision to join LIV finally just came down to the offer they made me. For me, it was playing less, making more money, pretty simple,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean Johnson\u2019s competitive nature has fallen off. He will return to golf majors this upcoming year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I know that I\u2019m one of the best golfers in the world,” Johnson said. “I think I\u2019ve proven it over a long period of time. When I show up to a major, I mean, I\u2019m there to win, and they can have their own opinion. For me personally, I feel like my reputation as a golfer is already kind of set, so I don\u2019t think there is anything to prove.”<\/p>\n

Gretzky added: “If anyone thinks that Dustin has lost his competitive spirit, then they don\u2019t know Dustin well enough, because he is still ready to show you who the f\u2013k he is. There is a reason why he\u2019s going back to play these majors. He wants to win just as much as they do.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
