Johnson is one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, having been ranked in the top ten annually in driving distance from 2008 to 2020, and leading in 2015.
 
The gifted golfer stated that he is ready to keep going in 2021 after finishing 14th at the recent 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions 
 
“Motivation for me, it’s not that hard. I like being the best. I feel like the more I play," Johnson said. 
 
"The more I grow as a person and as a golfer, the better I’m getting. So I still feel great. I feel young. I feel like I’m in my 20s, even though I’m not. Everyone that I've talked to or seen.
 
"Obviously they really liked it and they said it was nice to see that I did show some emotion, just because I try out on the golf course not to try to get too excited or too upset."
