New driver, but Dustin Johnson still very much DJ in return to competition

For the first time in more than three months, Dustin Johnson will compete in a PGA Tour event. New year, same DJ.

Asked on Tuesday at the Farmers Insurance Open if starting up at Torrey Pines, as opposed to last week’s more scoring-friendly American Express, makes for a rougher return:

“No. I mean, it's a golf course,” he said.

Asked if the tournament’s Wednesday-Saturday schedule was of concern:

“It's not. It's just days,” he said.

If there is one difference in the 2022 version of Johnson, it might be his confidence in his driver.
