DORAL, Fla. — Dustin Johnson watched the final putt of his season roll in, pumped his right fist and waited for the party to begin.
Another big celebration. Another big check, too.
Johnson drove the green on the 370-yard, par-4 16th hole to set up an easy birdie that provided a bit of breathing room, Patrick Reed birdied his last hole to put their squad ahead for good, and 4Aces GC captured the season-ending LIV Golf team championship at Trump National Doral Miami on Sunday by one shot over Cameron Smith and Punch GC.
The victory capped a monster earnings year for Johnson, by far the biggest money winner in the first year of the LIV circuit, which is backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. Including his $18 million for winning the season-long individual title, Johnson finished with $35,637,767 in earnings.
“It’s been amazing,” Johnson said. “Obviously, the fans (are) what makes it. This week’s been incredible. This whole season has gotten better and better, and obviously this finale has been unbelievable.”
