“Abso-lutely, next question!” – Throwback to when a drunk Dustin Johnson broke the 2020 Ryder Cup team in laughter at a press conference

Dustin Johnson is having a good time playing for LIV Golf. However, the American golfer had many fond recollections from his time on the PGA and European Tours. DJ represented the United States at the Ryder Cup in 2021. Under the direction of Steve Stricker, the squad earned the championship trophy.

The American squad celebrated their emphatic victory with champagne and beverages. During the winner's conference, the players were seen drinking. Dustin Johnson became inebriated and left the whole team in laughter when a journalist asked him:

"DJ, I am curious you being the oldest player on the team. Do you think you still have the stamina to out-party all these guys tonight?"

He replied and said:

"Abso-lutely, next question."

The journalist went on to ask:

"So bring doubts for him. Well, what does the rest of the team think, do you think he has the stamina output?"

Someone from the team said:

"Yes, is that even a question."

Dustin Johnson interrupted in between and added:

"Next question, like I said."

And they started laughing again.

Will Dustin Johnson play at the 2023 Ryder Cup?

Dustin Johnson joined the LIV Golf last year and the Saudi-backed series players gave no hope to compete at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

The newly formed series players are not permitted to compete on the PGA Tour, but they are allowed to compete in major tournaments.

Dustin Johnson, on the other hand, has no idea if he will be invited to the Ryder Cup. According to Golf Digest, the American golfer stated in one of his interviews last month:

"I would love to, absolutely. It’s something I’ve always enjoyed playing and in the last Ryder Cup I played pretty well. It’s one of my favorite events to play in. I’d love to [do it again]. If I play well for the rest of the year, hopefully I’ll get a consideration.”
