Johnson was one of a number of LIV Golf stars hoping to make Team USA ahead of their title defence, but only one was given the nod, Brooks Koepka.<\/p>\n<p>The likes of Johnson, Patrick Reed, and Talor Gooch all missed out on a spot, with the former Masters champion\u2019s namesake Zach Johnson opting to go with a PGA Tour-heavy team as captain. On the back of his omission, Johnson believes he would have been given a spot if he was still playing his golf on the PGA Tour &#8211; even below his best<\/p>\n<p>He told Golfweek: \u201cI would love to be a part of the team. But to be honest, I haven\u2019t really played that well this year. But have I played well enough to be on the team? Yeah. I didn\u2019t have the best year. Was it good enough to make the team? I think so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I would have been playing on [the PGA Tour], yeah, I would have made the team. Do I think I can help the US team? Absolutely.\u201d Johnson\u2019s 2023 snub means he will miss the Ryder Cup for only the second time since his debut back in 2010.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Inside Team Europe&#8217;s Ryder Cup bonding trip as they seek Ryder Cup revenge[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Nick Faldo sends Norman savage reminder of Masters collapse with Twitter video[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Rory McIlroy calls Tiger Woods a &#8216;nerd&#8217; as Ryder Cup star details relationship[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/71\/590x\/secondary\/4960121.jpg?r=1694706852955\"><\/p>\n<p>The American\u2019s only other absence came in 2014 when the 4Aces captain opted to take time away from the golf courses due to &#8220;personal challenges&#8221;. Johnson himself admitted that his form in 2023 has not been up to the high standard he has shown throughout his professional career.<\/p>\n<p>However, he appears to feel the experience he bodes in the matchplay event would have been of use to the 2023 team. Just two years earlier, the LIV Golf star was the starring man in Team USA\u2019s record-breaking 19-9 victory over the Europeans at Whistling Straits.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The award was handed out to those who &#8220;best embody the spirit&#8221; of the Ryder Cup, and the iconic concession handed to Jacklin by Nicklaus back in 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Two years on, both recipients have since made high-profile moves to the Saudi-backed league and arguably the two biggest omissions at this year\u2019s Ryder Cup. Like Johnson, Garcia is a stalwart of the event and holds the record for most points won by a player in Ryder Cup history.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/golf\/1812936\/Dustin-Johnson-Team-USA-Ryder-Cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf agree shock merger Dustin Johnson believes he deserved a place on the United States Ryder Cup team after being left out ahead of this month\u2019s event in Rome.
