Paulina Gretzky reveals shutting down death threats from people after Dustin Johnson’s $150,000,000 move to LIV Golf

Dustin Johnson was one of the first notable players to join LIV Golf when it was formed. While it has brought him numerous benefits, both he and his wife, Paulina Gretzky, acknowledge that it hasn’t been without its challenges.During that period, tensions ran high, and LIV Golf wasn’t viewed favorably at all. Those who chose to depart faced significant backlash, and Johnson was no exception to this, as he received death threats from people.

“People sending death threats and awful, awful, awful things. People were aggressive that’s for sure. But that’s when I shut it down for a little bit. I was like I don’t need to look at this. Everyone has an opinion on it. Fine.”

It was a controversial decision for Dustin Johnson to leave, and many fans felt at the time that it was actively fracturing the sport. They decided to express those frustrations toward the biggest golfer who’d transitioned, and he and his wife had to struggle through that.
