It has been more than six months since Dustin Johnson joined Greg Norman‘s LIV Golf Invitational Series. Like in the past, he continued to play his excellent game despite the different format of the league from the PGA Tour events. He even won the Individual Champion title at the end of the inaugural season of the series.

Unlike his LIV colleagues, including the Tour veteran Phil Mickelson, DJ was one of the few LIV golfers to resign from the Tour before teeing off at a league event. He even edited out the PGA Tour from all his social media descriptions.
To be precise, the former world no. 1 has become a LIV Golf player in all ways. Or did he? A netizen recently pointed out that he still has PGA added to the end of his username on Twitter, and he has been the victim of mockery from Twitter users ever since then.

Therefore, none was surprised to see how he removed the term PGA Tour and added LIV Golf in his bio while neglecting the PGA at the end of his username.
“Who’s going to tell @DJohnsonPGA that he still has PGA in his username?” a netizen under the username PGA TUOR asked on Twitter. The Twitter user even added a screenshot of the 2-time major champion’s mistake along with the caption.
While went to LIV, maybe deep down still thinks of himself as PGA and can’t quite move on.
He has no idea he’s on twitter. Talk to his or people.
As if DJ knows what a username is. Or how to get on Twitter. lol
Guess since he has won more then you ever will, he can do what he wants 😂
Doubt he even knows.... also if we know one thing about DJ, he will not give a shit. 😀
He's probably saying, I earned that name!
As fans of golf for many years, most of the comments reflected how Johnson’s mistake wasn’t an unexpected one. Many joked that the golfer wouldn’t even know what a Twitter username is. Some pointed out that he did it so he could still be a part of the PGA Tour.
