Prominent LIV Golf star Dustin Johnson is turning heads with newly released glamorous photos featuring his wife Paulina Gretzky, just weeks before the prestigious 2025 U.S. Open. The Instagram-published images showcase the power couple in sophisticated poses, offering rare glimpses into the 40-year-old’s private life. Since joining LIV Golf, Johnson’s career pivot has sparked ongoing debate in the golf world. This article examines the latest developments, the couple’s background, and tournament expectations at Oakmont – including embedded social media posts.

Spotlight on Dustin Johnson: Glamour Before the U.S. Open

Dustin Johnson is making headlines before the 2025 U.S. Open – and this time, it’s not just about his powerful LIV Tour swing. The new images with wife Paulina Gretzky, posted to her 1M+-follower Instagram account, capture the couple in elegant settings. These photos may signal a deliberate pre-tournament attention strategy. While Johnson remains renowned for his monster drives and two Major victories, these off-course glamour shots could either amplify pressure or fuel his motivation. With Oakmont’s treacherous bunkers awaiting at the U.S. Open, the images are generating extra hype.

The Relationship of Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky

The relationship between Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky has been a highlight in the golf community for years. The couple first met in 2009, began dating in 2013, and celebrated their wedding in 2022 after a nearly decade-long engagement. Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, brings both glamour and strong support to the LIV Golf star. She regularly attends his tournaments and celebrated victories like his 2020 Masters win by his side. Together they have two sons, providing the family-oriented Johnson with a stable foundation.

Bryson DeChambeau: Day in the life of a recreational golfer…

Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time Major winner and part of the LIV Golf League since 2022, has caused a stir with a funny video on X (formerly Twitter). Titled “Day in the life of a recreational golfer…,” the 31-year-old American presents an exaggerated version of his daily routine, ranging from shaving to adventurous golf rounds. But what’s behind this humorous glimpse, and how does it reflect DeChambeau’s life as a pro?

From Bed to Helicopter Ride

The video starts at 5:30 a.m. as DeChambeau rolls out of bed. Right away, it’s clear that a professional golfer’s day begins early. But things quickly escalate: by 6:07 a.m., he’s already in his car, and by 11:07 a.m., he’s hitting balls on a mountain peak. The plot intensifies when DeChambeau pilots a helicopter at 12:03 p.m. and plays golf on a salt flat by 12:50 p.m. These scenes are, of course, exaggerated for entertainment, but they also reflect DeChambeau’s passion for the game and his unconventional approach.
DeChambeau’s video isn’t just entertaining—it’s also a statement about his brand. Since joining the LIV Golf League in June 2022, he has established himself as a charismatic and innovative golfer. His 2024 U.S. Open win, which he dedicated to his late father, underscores his emotional connection to the sport.

The “Day in the Life” Video Series: Humor and Insights

The “Day in the Life” video series, adopted by numerous athletes and celebrities, humorously portrays exaggerated versions of their daily routines. Bryson DeChambeau’s contribution follows this trend by embracing golfer stereotypes and taking them to absurd extremes. While real training sessions, nutrition plans, and media commitments shape a pro’s schedule, the video leans into slapstick elements—like helicopter flights or golfing on extreme terrains. This type of content blends entertainment with subtle marketing. Fans get a faux “behind-the-scenes” glimpse that simultaneously reinforces DeChambeau’s person as an innovative and extroverted player.

32 hours, 182 holes: Pro completes golf marathon and breaks world record

After 182 holes, 53 miles on foot, 35 lost balls and 8,000 calories burned, 25-year-old Isaac Rowlands has broken the Guinness World Record for the World’s Longest Golf Marathon which he played in the Arctic Circle’s midnight sun – raising more than £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support in the process.

Word record to raise money for cancer support

Battling four hours of heavy rain at the start and playing non-stop for 32 hours, the Assistant Pro from The Grove in Hertfordshire completed his extraordinary feat to beat the previous record of just under 31 hours at Lofoten Links in Norway, the world’s most northerly links course, regularly ranked among the best in the world and one of the most picturesque courses on the planet. The previous record was also set at Lofoten Links back in 2022.

The challenge was inspired by Isaac’s own brush with cancer as a teenager, and the physical and emotional effort poured into the campaign is set to give him international recognition with a place in the record books.

The 25-year-old Cambridge native and former captain of the Cambridgeshire County Golf team joined The Grove back in 2022, before taking his PGA studies and joining the Pro team in October 2023. After completing the successful record attempt, Isaac said: “It was both exhausting and exhilarating. Playing a course as incredible as Lofoten Links was a true privilege, and being able to contribute to such an important cause made the experience even more rewarding.

“I had a Lymphoma scare when I was 19, for which I had many tests and two operations until I was given the all-clear. Throughout the whole process, Macmillan provided unwavering support. I would want others in the same situation to continue to get this level of support when going through such a difficult time.

“I have seen for myself the amazing work Macmillan does for people, and I want to raise awareness of their care and dedication. Thank you to my friends and colleagues at The Grove and Lofoten Links for helping me make this happen, it’s an experience I’ll never forget. Donations are still welcome on his dedicated Just Giving page.

Isaac Rowlands supported by The Grove

Support from back home helped him through months and months of training and preparation. Joel Westwell, Director of Golf at The Grove, said: “We were very proud at The Grove to support Isaac, while many of us were envious of him playing in such an incredible golf course. Although millions of us love playing golf, this was a seriously physical challenge, and we have supported him in every way we could to ensure a successful world record attempt. I would urge everyone to give generously for such an amazing cause.”

In 2023, The Grove celebrated its 20th anniversary, securing its reputation as a premier golf and lifestyle resort in the UK. The resort is particularly known for its inclusivity and was awarded as England’s best golf hotel in 2024.

Will Zalatoris, the talented 28-year-old, recently released a health update on his recurring back problems. After an intense season in which he struggled with pain and instability, he opted for surgery to improve his quality of life and athletic career. In this article, we shed light on the background to his injury and how it progressed.

Will Zalatoris has been plagued for a long time

Will Zalatoris’ back problems began back in spring 2023, which were alleviated with disc surgery. He made his comeback at the Hero World Challenge at the end of 2023. However, the symptoms worsened again over time, which led him to find a solution with his medical team this spring. After the PGA Championship, he was diagnosed with a recurrence of two herniated discs through an MRI.

“I’m happy to say that I woke up feeling good.”

After detailed discussions with his medical team, Zalatoris decided to undergo further surgery under the guidance of Dr. Michael Duffy at the Texas Back Institute. It was not an easy decision, but it was necessary for his long-term health and performance on the golf course.

Following the successful operation, Zalatoris expressed optimism about his health on his Instagram profile: “I’m happy to say that I woke up feeling good.” He emphasized the importance of focusing on his recovery as well as the support of those closest to him. “Thank you to my team, friends and family for being there for me throughout this journey.” Looking ahead, Zalatoris is looking forward to returning in the fall, both to the game of golf and to public life. “Looking forward to seeing everyone in the fall!!”

Professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway shortly before the famous Indy 500 race, as documented in his Instagram post. Among other things, he took part in a ride in a two-seater IndyCar and did not miss the opportunity to show off his own drives on the track.

The LIV Golf Final in Indianapolis

The visit could be connected to the LIV Golf Tournament, which will take place 30 kilometers northeast of the Indianapolis Motor Speeday. The LIV Golf Indianapolis Tournament is the season finale of the 2025 LIV Golf League and will be held August 15-17, 2025 on the Championship Course at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield.

Currently, Nelly Korda is dominating the world of golf like few before her. With seven LPGA titles in 2024 alone—including the Chevron Championship—five consecutive wins, and the prestigious “Rolex Player of the Year” award, it has been a year to remember. But now, the 25-year-old is proving she can shine beyond the golf course as well: For the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Korda was photographed by Ben Horton in Boca Raton, Florida.

Off the Fairway: Nelly Korda Embraces New Challenges

“It was such an exciting shoot,” says Korda. “I think that’s what the shoot is about. I think that’s what life is about, also, sometimes challenging yourself.”

The two-time Olympian posed in a variety of looks at the luxury resort The Boca Raton. Despite the bright lights and model poses, she remained completely true to herself. “I had such a great crew to work with and work alongside,” Korda shares. “It was just so much fun. When people look at these photos, I hope it inspires them to rock what they got.”

A Role Model On and Off the Course

For Korda, the shoot wasn’t just a fun detour into a different world—it’s also part of her mission to inspire others. “Golf has impacted my life in an incredible way outside the sport,” she explains. “I get to inspire the next generation. I see girls that look up to me.”
The world No. 1 remains on course for success—on the fairway and beyond. “I get to travel the world for a living and do what I love,” Korda says. “When you’re passionate about something, it’s never work.”

Justin Bieber soon on the golf course with Bryson DeChambeau?

Pop star Justin Bieber shared several videos on Instagram of his round of golf in a stylish all-white outfit. However, it wasn’t just fans who commented on the posts, but also a prominent professional: Bryson DeChambeau. The current U.S. Open champion wrote under one of the videos: “Let’s shoot some golf content!”, causing speculation about a possible collaboration.

Justin Bieber shows his passion for golf

Justin Bieber not only proves his class musically, but also on the fairway. The superstar recently posted numerous golf videos in a row on Instagram. He is dressed in a snow-white outfit with a casual tank top that would make many a club president frown. But dress code breakers are nothing new in professional golf. After all, John Daly made history with his brightly colored pants. Bieber’s swing shows that the pop star clearly takes his hobby seriously, even if his fashionable interpretation of the golf look is a little more free.

Bryson DeChambeau steps up

While many fans commented on the posts, one reaction in particular stood out: Bryson DeChambeau, who had just won the U.S. Open, wrote under one of the videos: “Let’s shoot some golf content!” Whether this was a casual offer or there are already concrete plans remains to be seen. But the idea of the pop star and the golf pro appearing in front of the camera together leaves room for imagination. Could there be a joint YouTube video, similar to his “Breaking 50” series? Or even a cameo by the golf champion in a Bieber song? Golf and pop culture could merge here in an entertaining way.

McIlroy Family Expanding Roots with New Home at Wentworth Estate

Rory McIlroy’s life, both on and off the course, has long been a source of fascination for the sporting world. His victories, setbacks, outspoken nature, and commitment to the game consistently draw the spotlight. Recent weeks have been no different, as media attention intensified following McIlroy’s appearance at the Masters — not just for his performance, but for his movements beyond Augusta’s fairways.

One stop on McIlroy’s post-Masters itinerary brought him home to Northern Ireland, where he reunited with his parents, Rosie and Gerry, in Holywood. The visit served as a celebration, compensating for their absence at Augusta as they prepared for a relocation of their own.

McIlroy Lays New Foundations at Wentworth Estate

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, construction is well underway on a significant new project for the McIlroy family: a home in England’s prestigious Wentworth Estate, just outside London. The development, situated near the storied Wentworth Club — host venue for the BMW PGA Championship — signals a new chapter for McIlroy, his wife Erica Stoll, and their young daughter, Poppy. Reports suggest the move was motivated in part by a desire for a fresh start for the couple.

“It’s not every day you get to fulfil one of your lifelong goals and dreams,” McIlroy reflected during the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. “We first went to London with Erica and Poppy to see our new home that we’re building and we made the trip over to Belfast to see a few other people that are important to us. Just to be with them, to be with Erica and Poppy and my mum and dad.”

Artist from Ireland. Found a home for my Rory McIlroy painting, donated the piece to Holywood Golf Club this week, Rory’s home course. Hopefully he gets the chance to see the portrait the next time he plays a round there 👍 byu/mikesartwrks ingolf

Over 80 percent green fee discount in St. Andrews – how does that work?

(Photo: Getty)
(Photo: Getty)

Play the Old Course for just 42.50 pounds? The St. Andrews Links Trust has announced that a few selected golfers will be able to do just that.

St. Andrews: discounted green fees on the Old Course

Between May and October, there will be 179 tee times at reduced rates on links courses in St. Andrews. A round on the historic Old Course normally costs 340 pounds, but on May 21 there will be eleven tee times for just 42.50 pounds. The other courses in St. Andrews will also be offering big discounts during the summer months. The neighboring Castle course can be played on selected dates for 22.50 pounds instead of 180 pounds, a round on the Jubilee course costs 18.75 pounds instead of 150 pounds and a tee time on the Eden course is available for 9.50 pounds instead of 75 pounds. Playing all four courses saves a total of 87.5 percent.

The catch: these offers only apply to golfers from Scotland. The reduced tee times can only be booked with a Scottish zip code. Scottish golfers who want to take advantage of this offer must apply for the tee times via a lottery. For other dates there are further different criteria depending on the golf course, for example the offer is alternately available to members of the military, golfers with disabilities, women, families or members of the emergency services.

Drive Initiative of the St. Andrews Links Trust

The drive is an initiative by the St. Andrews Links Trust to give more golfers access to its iconic golf courses. The aim is to promote participation in golf by encouraging players of all ages and abilities to take part in the sport. Residents of St Andrews, for example, are already entitled to a Links Annual Pass, which offers access to seven golf courses for the price of £386.

Neil Coulson, Chief Executive of St Andrews Links Trust explains: “Golf has become increasingly popular in recent years, and with it demand for our courses has risen to unprecedented levels. We will continue to ensure that our cardholders and visitors have the best possible experience while ensuring that one of the country’s most treasured golf courses is also open to the public.”

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: “Love is in the Air…”

Tiger Woods confirms romance with Vanessa Trump. (Photo: X@Tiger Woods)

Tiger Woods has made his relationship with Vanessa Trump (47) official. The former wife of Donald Trump Jr. and onetime daughter-in-law of the 45th and 47th President of the United States confirmed the romance via a springtime post on social media platform X. The post began with a telling line: “Love is in the air…”

While the new couple made headlines off the course, their children were in the spotlight on it – though with mixed results. At the prestigious Sage Valley Invitational in Graniteville, South Carolina, one of the premier junior events in American golf, both Charlie Woods and Kai Trump were in the field.

Charlie Woods finished tied for 25th out of 36 players in his age group – a modest result for the 15-year-old son of the golf legend. Kai Trump, granddaughter of the former president, finished 24th and last in her division.

The overall boys’ title went to 16-year-old Miles Russell, widely regarded as one of the brightest rising stars in U.S. golf. Russell has already teed it up twice on the PGA Tour and, in 2024, made history as the youngest player ever to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour.
