2021 WGC-Mexico / WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession

World Golf Championships

25-28 February 2021
The Concession Golf Course, Bradenton, Florida

Dustin Johnson, widely regarded as the world’s best golfer right now, will go in search of further glory at the WGC-Mexico / WGC-Workday Championship when the 2021 edition is held at The Concession Golf Course in Bradenton, Florida from 25 to 28 February.

Originally scheduled for Mexico, this tournament has been moved and re-branded for 2021 due to logistical difficulties created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Johnson is a three-time champion at this event, claiming the honours in 2015, 2017 and 2019. His most recent triumph saw him shoot a tournament 266 to come home five strokes ahead of nearest chaser Rory McIlroy.

The 36-year-old American says he is always looking to improve his game: “I feel like I could always be better with every part of the game, but definitely can roll the putter better always.

“I feel like the short game, you can always improve with that, too. But I feel like I’m swinging it pretty good, I’m happy with the way I’m swinging it, but there’s room for improvement I think throughout the bag.”

The top-ranked player in the world, Johnson will start as one of the favourites for the title at The Concession Golf Course, but will face stiff competition from the likes of Brooks Koepka, McIlroy and defending champion Patrick Reed.

Johnson added, “This game is never easy. Every day something is different. Obviously, the confidence is pretty high right now. I feel good about what I’m doing, I’ve got a lot of confidence in everything that I’m doing. I’ve just been playing really consistent and solid golf.”
