Dustin Johnson has been removed from the published field of this week's HP Byron Nelson Championship.
Sigh. It seems that it's no longer a matter of if, but when. He called it quits before his second round at TPC Sawgrass last week due to an injury in his lower back, and that trailed an early WD at Quail Hollow due to an irritated left wrist. UPDATE: Johnson alerted his followers on Twitter of this week's reasoning: "Tried to go but have inflammation in my facet joints. Some rest and daily therapy with my physical therapist, then I should be good!!" May 14 - 12:20 PM

Dustin Johnson withdrew from THE PLAYERS prior to his second round due to an injury in his lower back.

DJ was scheduled to go off the first tee at 1:39 p.m. ET. He opened with a 2-over-par 36-38=74. Johnson cited an irritated left wrist that prevented him from giving it a go at Quail Hollow last week. He's rapidly evolved from a guy in whom we held our breath to connect four good rounds to a guy we merely hope stays healthy. This isn't what we expect from someone of his athleticism. UPDATE: Johnson alerted his followers on Twitter why he pulled out: "Felt good working out this morning but something didn't feel right on the range before the round. Hoping to rebound at the @hpbnc!!" He's 4-for-4 at TPC Four Seasons Resort-Las Colinas with three top 20s.

Dustin Johnson signed for a 2-over-par 36-38=74 following his opening round of THE PLAYERS.

If he was truly suffering from an irritated left wrist last week, then today's effort suggests that he's still dealing with it. DJ hit only 10 greens in regulation and failed to save par six times, carding five bogeys and a double. The lap around TPC Sawgrass wasn't without its highlights, however, as he drilled home birdies from 26'5" and 27'1" at the 10th and 18th holes, respectively.

Dustin Johnson has been removed from the published field of this week's Wells Fargo Championship, citing an "irritated left wrist," according to PGA TOUR Media on Twitter.

This is a surprise, especially since he tweeted last Friday that he was looking forward to competing. Look for him to attempt to return at next week's PLAYERS. Joe Affrunti also withdrew as an alternate as he will remain committed to this week's Stadion Classic at UGA on the Web.com Tour.

Dustin Johnson followed his opening 67 at the Masters with a 4-over-par 36-40=76 in his second round to reach the halfway point in 1-under 143.

Despite a bogey-par-bogey start today, DJ was atop the leaderboard for a spell thanks to four birdies after 13 holes to reach 2-under on the round. However, he closed bogey-double bogey-par-bogey-double bogey and eschewed a post-round interview. Johnson signed his card sitting four strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Dustin Johnson turned in a 5-under-par 33-34=67 for his opening round of the Masters, finishing one stroke back of the clubhouse co-leaders.

If there's a perfect example of why experience matters at Augusta National, look no further than DJ's slate. He's 3-for-3 but hasn't fared better than a T30 in his debut in 2009. Prior to today's loop, he broken 70 just once (68, second round, 2011). He missed last year's edition with a back injury. Today he hit 12 greens and took just 24 putts. He played the quartet of par 5s in bogey-free 4-under with an eagle and two birdies. He added birdie-3s at 1 and 9. Johnson's lone blemish occurred at the par-4 17th where he squared a bogey.

Dustin Johnson took the lead in the clubhouse at the Shell Houston Open when his final-round 7-under-par 31-34=65 vaulted him to 14-under 274.

Johnson got it done in the finale by knocking down the mid-ranged putts. He made six putts of 13 feet or longer for birdie or eagle in his navigation of Redstone's greens, but failed to convert a 4'6" birdie on 11 and a 7'5" par on 12 that could prove fatal. In all, he circled seven birdies and an eagle, while squaring two bogeys. Having failed to secure a top 10 since his win at Kapalua to start the year, his performance this week gives us confidence that his focus has returned just in time for major season. He is not in the field at the Valero Texas Open, so we expect to see him next at the Masters.

Dustin Johnson followed his opening 69 at the Shell Houston Open with a 2-under-par 36-34=70, reaching the midpoint in 5-under 139 to sit two strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

This was one of DJ's more forgettable rounds, but it didn't cost him a potential victory. He hit 11 greens in regulation and limited his mistakes to two bogeys while picking off four birdies. His only notable conversion was a zero-putt five-yarder from just off the green at the par-4 sixth hole.

Dustin Johnson turned in a 3-under-par 36-33=69 for his opening round of the Shell Houston Open.

Johnson hadn't appeared at Redstone since 2009, he hadn't broken par in four rounds and he missed the cut in both previous starts, so today was a wonderful change of pace. Today, he hit 14 greens in regulation and converted four birdies, the long of which just 12'5" at the 15th hole. The only blemish on his card was a bogey-5 at the third hole where he rinsed his approach. He's five strokes back of the clubhouse lead.

Dustin Johnson hasn't cracked a top 25 since his win to start the year, but a 5-under-par 35-35=70 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship positions him to do even better than that.

DJ's struggles since his win at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions have been fairly well documented, but his game seems to be rounding into form just in time for the majors. He circled five birdies to just three bogeys in his third lap around TPC Blue Monster at Doral, with four of those birdies coming from outside of eight feet. He enters the final round at 9-under 207.

Dustin Johnson backed up his opening 68 at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with a 3-under-par 35-34=69 in his second round.

DJ hit 15 greens in regulation today and rolled in five birdies, including respective conversions from 12'6" and 22'10" at the third and fourth holes, but he parred all four par 5s at TPC Blue Monster of Trump Doral during his round. He's 7-under 137 at the midpoint, four strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Dustin Johnson posted a 4-under-par 33-35=68 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, finishing two strokes off the overnight lead.

With eight birdies against just one bogey on his first 16 holes, DJ filled the role as a rabbit this afternoon, but he tumbled from the top spot due to a double bogey at the par-4 17th hole where he didn't reach the green until his fourth stroke. He also bogeyed the treacherous par-4 18th where he had to pitch out after driving into deep rough left of the fairway. Prior to both of those setbacks, half of his birdies found the cup from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which a 28-footer at the par-4 11th hole. Johnson birdied all four par 5s at TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral today.

On a day that will provide relief to gamers everywhere, Dustin Johnson posted a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of The Honda Classic, good for a piece of the early clubhouse lead.

It's hard to believe on the surface that this is his best aggregate since a second-round 66 at Kapalua, but those paying attention since understand what a grind it's been for the Jupiter, Fla. resident. After an illness and withdrawal at Waialae, he went 1-for-3 with a T51 at the Farmers, and then closed out the West Coast Swing by getting trounced by Alexander Noren in the WGC-Match Play. Today was vintage, however and thankfully. He hit 15 greens and erased one bogey (at the par-4 16th) with five birdies, including at both par 3s on The Bear Trap. His conversion at 17 measured 15'3".

Alexander Noren took it to Dustin Johnson in the Jones Bracket, winning 6 and 4 in the opening round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Judging by the score and his recent play, you'd think that DJ didn't bother to show, but that would be ignoring Noren's excellence at Dove Mountain. Johnson completed 13 hole in 1-under-par before conceding the dagger at the 14th hole. Prior to the clincher, Noren scored 6-under and won all six holes of the match. It's his first match win in two appearances. He'll square off against the winner of Graeme McDowell v. Padraig Harrington in Friday's second round.

Dustin Johnson completed 36 holes of the Northern Trust Open in 3-over-par 76-69=145 and will miss the cut.

DJ played in the late-early draw, but we waited him out to see if the freshening wind would provide an assist for him to backdoor his way into the weekend. No such luck. He hit only 20 greens in regulation this week, resulting in seven bogeys (all on Thursday) and two doubles (both today). Eight birdies, including six in the second round, weren't enough to prevent his second consecutive missed cut. It's the first time since the summer of 2009 that he's failed to cash in successive starts, although the first of that tandem was a result of a withdrawal due to a wrist injury at the Travelers Championship. The last time he officially missed two straight cuts was during the Fall Series of his rookie year in 2008.
