Vacation Watch: When Will The World’s Best Golfers Return To Action?

Dustin Johnson

In terms of the top five, Dustin Johnson falls in the middle of the pack with 23 events played in 2016. Almost all of them attract the top fields and such will be the case whether he opts for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Jan. 5 or if he takes a year off from that event to rest for Abu Dhabi a couple weeks later.

Either way, his sojourn to the Middle East will likely be short lived. If not for a return to the Farmers Insurance Open on Jan. 26, the pull of Monterey County should have him back in the continental US no later than Feb. 9 for the Pebble Beach AT&T Pro-Am, a tournament he’s won twice and placed second another.
