Will Johnson have a better career?

One major difference between their careers is when the two started playing. Mickelson started in the 90s, while Johnson turned professional in 2007. The time, prize money, and events are all different, the competitiveness knowing no bounds. However, with his PGA Championship 2021 win, Mickelson announced that he is not the one to back down.

Johnson, on his end, has 24 PGA Tour wins as opposed to Mickelson’s 45. With retirement being a long way for Johnson, he might even cross Mickelson with the number of PGA Tour wins.

Furthermore, Johnson has won only two majors till now. Mickelson’s PGA Championship win at 50 has turned out to be a motivator for many, proving that there is no age to win a major event.
