News about Johnson Wagner

Johnson Wagner may have had the best chip of his life live on Golf Channel as part of his 'Live From' segment after the conclusion of the US Open. That nationwide audience included US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who had the best view, from inside the infamous bunker on hole No 18 at Pinehurst. It was from that same sand trap that DeChambeau all but clinched his second major-championship victory hours prior. The LIV Golfer had his penultimate shot of the tournament dribble near the pin and settled a few feet away.

Following the naming of the surprise merger with LIV Golf, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan found his career in jeopardy during a discussion with players. The PGA Tour took a U-turn on its Saudi-backed tour, announcing that it and the DP World Tour had reached an agreement with LIV to combine their services into a new, yet-to-be-named entity in a dramatic change. Monahan revealed in a press conference that the merger had been in the works for seven weeks, but the PGA Tour's stars were left in the dark, and they were compelled to search out in real time on social media. The PGA loyalists were angered by the change, and many were reported to have erupted in a 'contentious' players meeting at Oakdale Golf and Country Club ahead of the RBC Canadian Open.
