Not sure if there is any truth to it but Here's the article

Quote:

Dustin Johnson’s management team has ended speculation as to when Johnson will return, but speculation will remain as to why he was gone in the first place.

Johnson last played the WGC-Cadillac Championship in mid-March. His agent David Winkle told CBSSports.com that Johnson will make his return from a back injury later this month at the Memorial.

The injury, which Johnson’s team says was aggravated from lifting a jet ski at his South Florida home, has led to much speculation – the loudest suggesting he was serving a PGA Tour drug suspension, which Winkle refutes. The Tour does not release fines or suspensions for recreational drug violations.

“I have heard everything from A to Z,” Winkle told CBSSports.com on Tuesday. “Dustin is not serving a drug suspension. I will make it clear – he has been injured. He is playing golf again, he is very rusty but chomping at the bit to get back out there.”

Johnson was originally scheduled to play in the Byron Nelson Classic this week but took his name off the commitment sheet before the Friday deadline.

Assuming Johnson is healthy, this still is an important summer for him. Following the Memorial he will play in Memphis, then the U.S. Open. Johnson is ranked No. 21 in U.S. Ryder Cup points.

“Obviously, I can’t wait to get back out and compete,” Johnson said in a news release. “I came into this year with some big goals, including making our Ryder Cup team, so I’ve got some serious ground to make up this summer.”

He's going to strongly deny that there was a suspension no matter what the reason is for DJ's absence. Everything else is just speculatory speculation.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Means nothing. Lots of us have "Young Girl, Get Out of My Mind" as our ringtones.

Nah. I think there's a Union Gap there.

The PGA Tour serves the PGA Players so, while it might be nice, it is unlikely to happen.  They want to keep all matters in-house and behind the scenes.

Same reason that the PGA Tour resists taking shots away for slow play.  Because then it would be all too public for their liking.

I'm not sure if he is using any drugs, but I wouldn't be surprised. As long as he isn't using steroids or performance enhancers, I would be fine with it.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
