Dustin Johnson

Just seen on Twitter that he's announced he's taking an indefinite leave of absence from the game, effective immediately.

He hasn't elaborated as to why, just to seek 'professional help for personal challenges I have faced'.... that's a big weapon gone from the US Ryder Cup team.

Wish him the best, good player.

Shame. A good player to watch and has the game to win majors. Hope whatever these challenges are he gets the help he needs and is back soon. Great news for the RC though and Europe's chances

Strange and sad at the same time. Always seemed a decent person and a top player

Lots of ability but always seemed to have one bad round when doing well.

Hopefully he sorts out whatever issues he has

Hope it's minor and comes back soon to hit more bombs.

Really a shame. Great Player. Hopefully he can sort it out! And get back!

Where about did you see this on twitter?

 

[Marshy77]

Hasn't he just got married too? Hope he sorts it out, always a good player to watch.

Hope he overcomes it!

Watching this myself.

They must know something else as they're intimating pretty strongly that it is about drugs.....?

I think I was a lot younger when the VJ Singh thing happend. What happend?!

Could well be hence need time to clean up , my understanding is that if you have a problem with drugs and come clean then you are given a chance and help to do so , in this case the PGA are helping him .......

I think the suggestion on twitter seems to be that its a "recreational" drug favoured by celebs, rather than performance enhancing. Either way hopes he manages to solve his issues.

Over twitter in regards to cocaine problem. Hope he over comes it
