Dustin Johnson is back in the winners circle at LIV Tulsa-Photo courtesy of LIV Golf and Montana Pritchard.

DUSTIN JOHNSON was back in the winners circle, with his second solo win on the LIV Golf Tour at the LIV Golf Tulsa Tournament.

So with his win in a three-man playoff against Cam Smith and Branden Grace, Johnson is now the third player with multiple solo wins on the LIV Golf Tour.

Johnson with an eagle in a playoff last year at the LIV Golf Boston event.

Johnson said,” next time it would be nice to win without the playoff.”

Johnson’s team 4Aces ended up in second place. Grace’s team Stinger GC, won the team championship by 1 shot at Cedar Ridge.

FOLLOWING THE TULSA LIV GOLF TOURNAMENT was the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, won by Liv Golf Brooks Koepka. So for Koepka it was his fifth major title, and his third PGA Championship victory.

LIV GOLF CEO GREG NORMAN called the victory, “a commanding win that cements Brooks place as one of the greatest players to ever play the game.”

COG HILL GOLF will host two days of Ping Golf fittings on June 22-23. Fittings run from 11 Am to 3 Pm. Call (866)-COG-HILL to make an appointment.

HAROLD VARNER III won for the first time on American soil, with his 1 shot win over a late charging Branden Grace.

But Varner did not get to celebrate his win with his team. Because the team honor went to Torque GC, over Varner III Rangegoats.

But for the second straight event in LIV Golf, the attendance record was broken. Because both ratings and galleries continue to surge for LIV Golf.

The next stop on the LIV schedule is LIV Golf Valderrama from June 30-July 2. But before LIV Golf returns, 12 regular members of LIV Golf will participate in the U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club in two weeks. Reigning major champions Brooks Koepka, 2023 PGA Champion and Cam Smith 2022 open Championship winner, are among those playing at LACC.
