Dustin Johnson will be looking to maintain his place at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings by winning the
2021 US Open title.
The American star became the world number one-ranked golfer for the first time in 2017 and he remained there for 64 consecutive weeks, the fifth-longest run as number one.
Johnson, who is a former US Open champion, returned to the number one position in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and he has been at number one for a total of over 130 weeks.

Nicknamed DJ, he won the US Open to claim his first major title on 19 June 2016 in his 29th major appearance.
DJ has six World Golf Championships victories, with only Tiger Woods having won more, and he is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events.
The 36-year-old won the 2020 Masters Tournament with a record score of 268, 20-under-par and it was his second major golf tournament win.
In February 2021, Johnson won the Saudi International for the second time; it was his ninth victory on the European Tour and it remains his last win on the PGA.
Johnson is happy with his game ahead of the US Open having finished fourth at the recent Palmetto Championship in South Carolina, the USA.
“I felt like I’ve been swinging well for a while now, just haven’t really seen the results or seen the scores. I made a few putts. I just played solid golf, finally put a round together," Johnson said.
“The putting’s been off or it’s just like small little mistakes that you shouldn’t make, so sometimes it’s taken a little bit of time away and kind of clearing my head and definitely it helps.
"Put in a lot of good work last week and I feel like I’m swinging good, so if I can keep the putter rolling it’s going to be a fun week.”
Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus are the most decorated players in the history of the US Open having won four titles each.
