World #1 golfer Dustin Johnson is giving back to his hometown in the form of his new learning center at the TPC Myrtle Beach Golf Club in South Carolina.

The new 3,100 square foot building building which is expected to be completed by Memorial Day of this year, will be the home of the Dustin Johnson Golf School and the Dustin Johnson Foundation.

“To bring this Performance Center to my hometown and be able to give golfers a competitive edge is exciting,” said Johnson, now a 17 time PGA Tour winner and major champion. We haven’t held anything back in the design because we want to give the Golf School students and Foundation scholars the opportunity to learn the game, no matter what level they are when they get here. That’s important to me, and it’s also important that they get the very best when they’re learning.”
