The South Carolina Gamecocks won’t have any alumni in the field at the 2025 Masters this weekend in Augusta, Ga., but one of their most passionate fans will be competing.

Dustin Johnson, the former Coastal Carolina star and longtime Gamecock superfan, has never been shy about his support for South Carolina. Whether it’s the Gamecock-logo scorecard holder he carries on tour or the time he was the celebrity guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay where he made it crystal clear he was picking against Clemson Johnson wears his pride proudly.

A two-time major winner, Johnson earned his green jacket in 2020 and also claimed the U.S. Open title in 2016. Now playing on the LIV Golf tour, he was the league’s 2022 points and money list winner and currently ranks second all-time in LIV career earnings with $44.4 million and counting.
