Dustin Johnson hilariously hints that his recent back injury was a result of an incident involving Paulina Gretzky
During Dustin Johnson’s pre-tournament press conference for the PGA Championship, the two-time major champion was asked about how he injured his back early in 2023.
His reply was interesting.
“I pulled a muscle in my lower back.” He said.
The reporter then asked, “swinging a club or lifting up a kid?”
DJ laughed and replied, “Yeah, lifting up a kid. A bigger kid.”
The implication of the response seemed to be that the injury may have occurred in the bedroom, although Johnson didn’t specify.

“With the golf and media landscapes now in a more challenging environment, Azinger and NBC will part ways as their current contract ends,” said Azinger’s agent Rich Braund in a statement.
Sports Illustrated learned that the negotiations reportedly fell apart between Azinger and NBC when the one-year extension Azinger received was for less than he was making previously.
NBC also released a statement about Azinger.
“We want to thank Paul for his work with us over the last five years. His insights, work ethic and relationships in the golf industry are well known, and we appreciate what he brought to our team. We wish Paul the best in his future endeavors.”
On Monday, Sports Illustrated shared that Azinger will be replaced at next week’s Hero World Challenge by Curt Byrum. Byrum is a former PGA Tour player and has been an analyst for the Golf Channel since 2001.

Despite finishing the LIV Golf season in the “Open Zone”, which means the team is free to let him walk in the off-season, the 4Aces have decided to bring back Pat Perez.

Perez finished 28th in the LIV Golf season standings, leaving his future in doubt. The 4 Aces won the inaugural LIV Golf league but last year they fell short, and Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC won the team championship.
The combination of Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Peter Uihlein and Pat Perez will give it at least one more go in 2024.

Koepka has commented on two LIV Golf Instagram posts, with his first comment having been deleted.
The first post from Saturday was LIV showing a photoshopped direct message template with different LIV players sending a made up message.

“The Dm with the schedule for next year would be nice,” Koepka replied in the now deleted comment.
The most recent post said “The swag is unmatched. Which ones are you rocking on the course?”
Brooks commented, “We don’t know what course cause we haven’t seen the schedule”.
The LIV Golf Adelaide event (April 26-28), which was a big success last year, has been the only tournament announced thus far.
