[edit]

Johnson turned professional in late 2007 and earned his 2008 PGA Tour card by finishing in a tie for 14th place at the2007 qualifying schoolin December.[8][9]

Toward the end of his rookie season in October 2008, Johnson won his first PGA Tour event, theTurning Stone Resort Championshipinupstate New York.[citation needed]Four months later, he won his second event at theAT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am,which was shortened to 54 holes when the final round was canceled due to strong winds and heavy rain. Johnson won by four strokes overMike Weirand by five strokes over second-round leaderRetief Goosen,who shot a third-round 74. In the2009 Masters TournamentJohnson became only the second person in Masters Tournament history to eagle consecutive holes. He made an eagle putt on the 13th hole and then holed out from 173 yards on the 14th hole during the final round to accomplish the feat.[10]Johnson finished the2009 seasonranked 15th on the PGA Tour money list.

2010

[edit]

In February 2010, Johnson birdied the final hole to defeat former world number oneDavid Duvaland two-time PGA Tour winnerJ. B. Holmesto successfully defend hisAT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Amtitle.[11]

He continued hisPebble Beachsuccess by shooting 71-70-66 to take a three-shot lead overGraeme McDowellat the2010 U.S. Open.In the last pairing on Sunday, Johnson had trouble early and never recovered; he shot an 82 and finished tied for eighth (McDowell won the championship).[12]

In the final round of the2010 PGA Championship,Johnson held a one-shot lead entering the final hole. He appeared to have bogeyed the hole, which would have tied him for first and entered him into a three-hole playoff withBubba WatsonandMartin Kaymer.However, he received a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker, thereby dropping him to a tie for fifth place.[13][14]Kaymer eventually won the playoff.

Johnson broke his streak of bad luck at the thirdFedEx Cupplayoff event of the season, theBMW ChampionshipatCog Hillin September. It was Johnson's fourth career PGA Tour victory, and his first in any FedEx Cup playoff event. He finished the 2010 season ranked 4th on the PGA Tour money list.

Johnson took part in the Long Drive Contest for charity at theHyundai Tournament of Championsin January, alongsideBubba WatsonandRobert Garrigus.

In March 2011, Johnson entered the final round of theWGC-Cadillac Championshipwith a two stroke lead over the rest of the field. However he could only manage a final round one-under-par 71 to finish as runner-up behindNick Watney.

Johnson earned his then-best finish in amajor championshipin July at the2011 Open ChampionshipinEngland.He finished in a tie for second place atRoyal St George's,alongside fellow AmericanPhil Mickelson,three strokes behind championDarren Clarke.Johnson's first three rounds of 70-68-68 left him one stroke behind Clarke going into Sunday's play. One highlight of Johnson's week at Royal St George's came in the first round when he recorded ahole in oneon the par three 16th hole. This result marked the third time that Johnson had been part of the final group on Sunday at a major championship and also occurring in three out of the four majors, the2010 U.S. Open,the2010 PGA Championshipand the2011 Open Championship.As a result of this second-place finish, Johnson moved to his highest spot in the Official World Golf Ranking at the time, seventh, and became the third-ranked American behindSteve Strickerand Mickelson.

Johnson won his fifthPGA Tourtitle atThe Barclaysin 2011, beatingMatt Kucharby two strokes, in the first event in the FedEx Cup playoff. It was his second 54-hole tournament victory of his career, after the 2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am; the tournament was shortened due to the threat ofHurricane Irene.Johnson shot rounds of 66-63-65 to win at -19.[15]It was also the second FedEx Cup playoff event win of his career; the first was theBMW Championshipin 2010. The win also took him to a career high of 4th in the world rankings, the second highest American (behindSteve Stricker). Johnson did not record a single top-20 in the remaining three FedEx Cub playoff events, and finished fourth in the final standings.[16]

Johnson began his 2013 season with a win at the season openingHyundai Tournament of Champions,an event reserved for winners from the past season. Johnson won by four strokes over defending championSteve Strickerin an event that was shortened to 54 holes due to the bad weather, mainly very strong wind that meant conditions were unplayable. The first three days of the tournament were wiped out, with the field having to complete 36 holes on the Monday and a final 18 on Tuesday. The event was Johnson's seventh PGA Tour win and his third in a 54-hole event. In November, Johnson won theWGC-HSBC Champions,part of the 2013–14 PGA Tour season.

B. Holmesby one stroke to win theWGC-Cadillac Championshipat Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida. The win earned Johnson $1,570,000, moving him to 7th in the world rankings.[25]

As he prepared to address the ball for a par putt, his ball moved slightly. Johnson stepped away saying that he had not addressed the ball. After he spoke to an on-site rules official he was told to carry on with his shot which he successfully putted. He ended up winning by three strokes ahead ofShane Lowry,Scott PiercyandJim Furyk.The moving ball incident sparked outrage among many of the world's top golfers with players such asJordan Spieth,Rory McIlroy,Rickie FowlerandWebb Simpsontaking to social media to criticize theUSGAfor its decision.[28]Johnson moved up three positions in the OWGR to number three after this win.
