What will he do next?

Dustin Johnson is another name who, two years ago, left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf. His decision surprised many, but Johnson was clear about his position and intentions to be part of this Saudi-backed tour. Johnson is currently doing well on this Tour, proving to be a tough opponent for many. The 4Aces team, which Johnson leads, has serious plans for the future, and DJ, as the captain, could be a crucial element in the whole strategy.

General Manager 4Aces Chris Rosasen He recently spoke with Bunkered about Dustin Johnson and the rumors circulating these days that Johnson might leave the tournament and change his plans. Rosaasen emphasized that Dustin Johnson is a golfer who has no intention of making such moves and stated that he will continue in that role for at least the next 15 years.

“DJ is the captain and owner of the team, so theoretically his name will be associated with it for all time, but he wouldn’t argue that. I don’t think he’ll be playing 15 years from now.“- he said.

LIV Golf officials have demonstrated their seriousness about their intentions by introducing innovations in the world of golf and implementing a system that has produced positive reactions. LIV Golf aims to show the world that they are ready to usher in a new era in the sport, attracting the attention of both young and old golf fans. While some are skeptical about the value of these new developments, LIV Golf leaders remain committed to their path.

Rosaasen highlighted that he and Johnson plan to innovate by scouting the young golfers who will form the foundation of the 4Aces team going forward. Johnson took his role and responsibilities seriously, leaving nothing to chance.

“He and I sat down and said, ‘How are we going to build the foundation of what this team is?’ It’s even scouting the kids who might be on this team 5-10 years from now.he said.

Rosaasen pointed out that he plans to build a budget for next year to create something like a minor league for the 4Aces. This will be an excellent opportunity for young golfers to showcase their talent and make a significant appearance on the big stage. They aim to attract young talent to join them and also inspire and motivate children to take up the sport. The 4Aces want to establish a system where the best golfers have a chance to prove themselves and play for the team.

“We’re building the budget for next year to start equipping these guys, so it’s almost like the minor leagues for the 4Aces. So we reach out to these guys that we think might be good and say, “Hey, why don’t we sponsor you now? Wear the 4 ace kit in all your other competitions and we start you early.”– he continued.

He mentioned that they will be visiting high schools, expressing his surprise at how the young golfers are turning out and how talented they are. Many golfers today rise to prominence quickly, gaining recognition in a short period of time. They believe it is essential to get involved with golfers while they are still relatively young and then work with them closely. This system ensures that golfers are properly developed from an early age, helping them reach their full potential. Johnson and his team are experienced figures who understand what is essential to turn a golfer into a star who will lead the future.
