Johnson joins ISP heavyweight cast

MANILA, Philippines —  The world-class field assembled for International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus has been further strengthened with the addition of two-time Major champion and former World No.1, Dustin Johnson.

Johnson will join fellow Major winners Bubba Watson, Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, and Louis Oosthuizen for the eagerly awaited tournament which takes place at Sta. Elena Golf Club from Oct. 23-26.

The American, known for an unbeaten Ryder Cup record in five appearances and a spectacular 5-0 at Whistling Straits in 2021, last appeared on The International Series at the 2024 PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers, and his comeback is set to electrify the fairways in the Philippines.

With an illustrious career to his name, Johnson’s achievements include winning the 2016 US Open at Oakmont Country Club with a four-under-par 276, and a sensational victory at the 2020 Masters Tournament, where he set a tournament record of 20-under-par.  He first rose to World No. 1 in February 2017, holding the position for 64 consecutive weeks – the fifth-longest reign in history. He later reclaimed the top spot in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, spending more than 130 weeks in total as the world’s best golfer.

International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus is the sixth of the nine elevated events on this season’s Asian Tour schedule, offering players from around the globe a direct pathway into LIV Golf through the season-long Rankings race.
