Dustin Johnson believes he would be on the United States Ryder Cup team if he was still competing on the PGA Tour.
The two-time major winner told the Palm Beach Post that he understood why he wasn’t on the team because he now competes on the LIV Golf tour. But he said he thinks he played well enough to be a part of the 12-man team heading to Rome to face off against Europe."I would love to be a part of the team," DJ said."But to be honest, I haven't really played that well, this year. But have I played well enough to be on the team? Yeah. I didn't have the best year.
In addition to Koepka, the other five captain's picks were Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. After beating Europe on home soil in 2021, the United States is looking to win in Europe for the first time since a 15-13 win in 1993. But Johnson undoubtedly knew that he was putting himself on the periphery of Ryder Cup contention when he was one of the biggest names to accept a big payday from LIV and Saudi Arabia and leave the PGA Tour in 2022.
