  • The Open Championship: Opened The Open Championship at Royal Troon with an even-par 71, ending his streak of six consecutive sub-par opening rounds on TOUR.

Opened with rounds of 66-69, but moved down the leaderboard with a third-round 3-over 73. Closed with the low round of the tournament, a 7-under 63. Narrowly missed the water on his approach shot into the 72nd hole, then chipped in for birdie to get to 9-under 271 for the tournament.

  • the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide: Shot 8-under 64, which included 10 birdies to be first-round leader at the Memorial Tournament, eventually finishing solo third for his seventh top-10 this season.

  • Masters Tournament: A week after Houston, claimed T4 at the Masters, with J.B. Holmes and Paul Casey, at 1-under 287. Offset two double bogeys in the final round at Nos. 5 and 17, par-4s, with five birdies to post a 1-under 71 and claim his best finish in seven starts at the Masters.

  • Northern Trust Open: Finished fourth at the Northern Trust Open, two shots behind winner Bubba Watson, continuing his strong play at Riviera CC. Marked the fourth time he finished in the top four in the last five years (T4 in 2012, missed the cut in 2013, second in 2014 and T2 in 2015).
  • Hyundai Tournament of Champions: Recorded his fourth top-10 in last four starts at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, where he finished in a five-way T10, 15 strokes behind runaway winner Jordan Spieth.
  • World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions: Made his season debut in Shanghai at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions. Opened with a 7-under 65 and was just two back of first-round leader Branden Grace. After a 71 in the second round, fired a bogey-free 65 Saturday and stood one back of Kevin Kisner and Russell Knox through 54 holes. Was in the mix early Sunday before he spun his wedge-shot approach off the green and into the water on the par-5 eighth hole. The double bogey dropped him out of contention, and he failed to regain his standing. Carded a 71 Sunday for a T5, his third top-10 in his last three starts going back to the 2014-15 season.

2015 Season

Made 18 of 21 cuts, with 11 top-10s and a No. 7 finish in the FedExCup standings. Has qualified for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola for seven consecutive seasons.

Added weekend rounds of 68-69 to finish T7, eight strokes back of Spieth.
  • U.S. Open: Suffered a heartbreaking loss to Jordan Spieth at the U.S. Open, his 25th major championship appearance. Two superb shots on the par-5 72nd hole led to an eagle putt from just over 12 feet to win his first major, but when that putt slid by to the left he then missed the short return putt that would have forced an 18-hole playoff with Spieth on Monday. Settled for a runner-up finish with Louis Oosthuizen. Is now winless in four attempts when playing in the final pairing in a major championship. The others are the 2010 U.S. Open (T8), 2010 PGA Championship (T5) and the 2011 Open Championship (T2). The finish was his ninth top-10 in a major.
  • AT&T Byron Nelson: After rounds of 67-68-62, entered the final round of the AT&T Byron Nelson in a tie for second place, trailing Steven Bowditch by two strokes.

Playing in the morning Thursday at TPC San Antonio, shot a 6-over 78 in very windy conditions but eventually rebounded to finish T6. His back-to-back, 4-under-par 68s were the best final 36-hole scores by any of the 75 players who played on the weekend in Texas.
  • World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship: Entered the final round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship trailing J.B. Holmes by five strokes before a final-round, 3-under 69 led to a one-stroke victory over Holmes, the largest comeback in Cadillac Championship history. The win was the ninth of his career and second in a World Golf Championships event (2013 HSBC Champions), making him one of eight players with at least two wins in the series. Has won in eight consecutive seasons, the best current streak on TOUR.

During the final World Golf Championships event of the year, brother Austin served as caddie at Sheshan International GC in Shanghai, China. Victory was eighth career PGA TOUR title, at age 29 years, 4 months, 12 days. Posted rounds of 69-64-65-66 to defeat defending champion Ian Poulter by three strokes. The 24-under-par 264 total broke the tournament record of 267 set one year earlier by Poulter.

Opened with a 3-over 75 at Glen Abbey GC but jumped into contention with rounds of 67-63-70. His bid for victory ended Sunday when an errant tee shot at the par-4 17th wound up in the CBS Sports TV compound, resulting in a triple bogey. Settled for a T2 with three others.
  • FedEx St. Jude Classic: Finished T10 in his bid to join David Toms (2003-2004) as the only players to successfully defend their FedEx St. Jude Classic title.
  • Shell Houston Open: Posted the low round of the day, a 7-under 65, in the final round of the Shell Houston Open to claim a T4 with Ben Crane. Final round at Redstone GC consisted of seven birdies and an eagle.
  • Hyundai Tournament of Champions: After heavy wind and unusually hectic weather, overpowered his way to a four-stroke victory at the 54-hole Hyundai Tournament of Champions after a rare Monday-start-Tuesday-finish event. The tournament "started" twice during the regularly scheduled first round Friday and later Sunday, but both times PGA TOUR rules staff halted play due to unplayable windy conditions. Officials subsequently voided all scores that had taken place. The tournament officially began with 36 holes Monday that was originally scheduled to have been the final day of play. Playing in the final group with Steve Stricker, he double-bogeyed the 13th hole after hitting his drive into the bushes. The double bogey allowed Stricker to close within one stroke. On the 14th hole, he pulled his tee shot, nearly driving the green. He followed by chipping in for eagle to give him a three-shot cushion, an advantage he never relinquished. With the victory, he became the first player since Tiger Woods (1996-2001) to win in six consecutive years straight out of college (2008-13), and he trails only Phil Mickelson (nine) for current streak of consecutive years with a victory.

Won in his first start at the FedEx St. Jude Classic and won for the fifth consecutive PGA TOUR season.

  • Northern Trust Open: Finished T4 at the Northern Trust Open. Was one of only five golfers to finish the week with all four rounds at par-or-better (71-70-67-71). Recorded a bogey-5 on the final hole when a birdie would have been enough to get in the playoff.
  • AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am: In his bid to join four players with three or more victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, finished T5 for his first top-10 of the season. Opened the event in spectacular fashion, with a 63, at Pebble Beach for his low round at the event, topping 64s at Pebble Beach GL and Spyglass Hill GC en route to victory in 2010.

2011 Season

Fourth full season on the PGA TOUR ended with a career-best fourth-place finish in the FedExCup.

  • Presidents Cup: One of six rookies on the victorious U.S. Presidents Cup team, he struggled to a 1-3-1 record at Royal Melbourne GC.
  • The Barclays: Carded a final-round 65, including a holed-bunker shot for eagle on the fourth hole, for a two-stroke come-from-behind win over Matt Kuchar at the Hurricane Irene-shortened Barclays. He moved from No. 19 to No. 1 in the FedExCup standings. With five career wins, including two in Playoffs events (2010 BMW Championship) and two in 54-hole fashion (2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am), he moved out of a tie with Sean O'Hair for most victories by a player currently in his 20s. Joined Tiger Woods (three), Steve Stricker (two), Camilo Villegas (two), Vijay Singh (two) and Phil Mickelson (two) as only players with multiple victories in Playoffs events.

  • Nordea Masters: Stayed in Europe for a second consecutive week, turning in another top-10. Finished T6 at the Nordea Masters at Bro Hof Slott GC in Stockholm, Sweden.
  • The Open Championship: Playing in the final group for the second time in 2011 (World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship) and just one stroke behind Darren Clarke at the British Open, carded a 2-over 72 to finish T2, three behind Clarke. A missed cut at Turnberry in 2009 and at the 2011 PGA Championship remain his only missed cuts in 13 major championship starts. Kicked off the week in fine fashion, holing a wedge from 160 yards on the par-3 16th hole for his third career ace and the 22nd at the British Open since 1981.
  • the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance: Finished fourth at the Memorial Tournament to record his first top 10 in four starts at Muirfield Village. Final-round 65 matched the best round of the day.
  • Ballantine's Championship: Traveled to South Korea to play in the Ballantine's Championship. Contended until two back-nine bogeys Sunday derailed his chances at victory. He came back strong to finish fourth on the strength of back-to-back birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 at Blackstone GC.
  • World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship: Opened with rounds of 69-69-65 at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to hold a two-stroke lead over Nick Watney, Matt Kuchar and Luke Donald. It was his fourth 54-hole lead on TOUR, and first since a final-round 11-over 82 at the 2010 U.S. Open led to a T8 finish. Final-round, 1-under 71 at TPC Blue Monster at Doral led to the first runner-up finish of his career, two strokes behind Watney. Tied for the lead with Watney through 15 holes, the turning point may have been a pulled drive into the left-fairway bunker and ensuing bogey that dropped him from the lead. His previous-best finish in a World Golf Championships event was a 15th-place showing at the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational.
  • Farmers Insurance Open: Finished third at the Farmers Insurance Open on the strength of a final-round 66.

  • THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola: Entered the week as one of five players who could win the FedExCup with a victory at the TOUR Championship, but was T22 to place No. 5 in the final FedExCup standings.
  • BMW Championship: A steady, 2-under 69 in the final round was all he needed for the one-stroke win over Paul Casey at the BMW Championship, helping him jump to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings entering the TOUR Championship.
  • The Barclays: In the first event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup, finished T9 at The Barclays on the strength of a 7-under-par 64 in the third round in first start since PGA Championship disappointment. Played in the last group during the final round alongside Martin Laird but struggled to a closing 72. Collected his seventh top-10 of the season and first in a PGA TOUR Playoffs event (five career starts.)
  • PGA Championship: Second near-miss in a major came at the PGA Championship in Wisconsin, posting rounds of 69-70-69-70–278. Playing around the lead all day Sunday, posted a birdie on the par-5 16th and another birdie on the par-3 17th to take the lead at 12-under-par, one better than Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson. On the 72nd hole, inadvertently grounded his club in a bunker prior to his approach shot.

  • U.S. Open Championship: Returned to Pebble Beach in June for the U.S. Open. Carded a 5-under 66 in the third round to enter the final round with a three-stroke lead.

  • HP Byron Nelson Championship: Finished T7 at the HP Byron Nelson Championship for his first top-10 since winning at Pebble Beach.
  • AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am: First win of the season was a successful title defense at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title. Birdied the par-5 18th hole at Pebble Beach to gain a one-stroke victory over David Duval and J.B. Holmes, making him the first player in 20 years to win back-to-back in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Closed with a 2-over 74, the highest final round by a Pebble Beach champion since Johnny Miller (74) in 1994. Became the first player since Tiger Woods to go straight from college and win in each of his first three years on the PGA TOUR. Hit a 3-iron second shot into the front-right bunker on No. 18 and blasted out to 3 feet for the winning putt. In earlier groups, Duval and Holmes failed to birdie the finishing hole. Finished at 16-under-par 270 on a day in which four players had a share of the lead at some point.
  • Northern Trust Open: Posted a T3 at Northern Trust Open, where he held first- and second-round leads after 64-67. Scored second career ace with hole-in-one at No. 6 during second round, the 34th ace at Northern Trust since 1979 (when record keeping began).

2009 Season

  • THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola: Ranked No. 11 in the FedExCup standings after the BMW Championship to earn his first trip to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Finished 27th in his first appearance at the TOUR Championship, after opening with a first-round 69.
  • Deutsche Bank Championship: Finished T4, two shots behind winner Steve Stricker, at Deutsche Bank Championship, jumping to No. 10 on the FedExCup standings. Ranked No. 1 in both Putts Per Round (25.2) and Driving Distance (317-yard average) for the week.
  • The Barclays: Shot a final-round, course-record 7-under 64 at Liberty National to improve from T51 after 54 holes to T15 at The Barclays. Much of his score was attributed to the two birdies and an eagle he made on the short par-4 16th hole. On Thursday, he made birdie, on Friday he chipped in for eagle and on Sunday he chipped in again for eagle from off the back of the green.
  • PGA Championship: Shot a final-round 70 at the PGA Championship to finish T10, his first career top-10 in a major.

Joined six other Americans under age 30 at the time with multiple PGA TOUR victories (J.B. Holmes, D.J. Trahan, Sean O'Hair, Anthony Kim, Nick Watney and Charles Howell III). Some 40 hours after hitting his last shot, won at Pebble Beach on Monday when rain created a small river through one fairway and flooded greens, forcing officials to cancel the final round. Built a four-shot lead Saturday with a 67 at Poppy Hills, holing a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that figured to give him a cushion going into the final round. But the final round was never played. Rain and wind strong enough to topple a 40-foot tree suspended the final round Sunday, and nearly 1.4 inches of rain and a forecast for more gloom along the Monterrey Peninsula left the PGA TOUR no choice but to declare Johnson the winner after 54 holes. At age 24 years, 7 months, the youngest player to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am since Woods (24 years, 1 month) in 2000.

2008 Season
