Dustin Johnson is set to remain with LIV Golf for the foreseeable future. On January 14, 2026, it was officially announced that the two-time major champion has signed a multi-year extension with his LIV team, 4Aces GC.
As part of this extension, 4Aces GC, known for blending top-tier golf with entertainment and culture, is excited to add European sensation Thomas Detry to its roster. 'This team is built for big moments, and 2026 is a chance for us to take another step forward,' said Johnson, highlighting the potential of the updated team.
Detry, at just 33 years old, has made a name for himself on the global golfing stage. He recently became the first Belgian to triumph on the PGA Tour, clinching victory at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open with a stunning seven-shot lead. 'Thomas Detry is a great addition; he’s confident, competitive, and that fits exactly what we’re about,' Johnson stated, emphasizing the team's growing talent.
The announcement comes amidst discussions of players transitioning between golfing tours, particularly following Brooks Koepka's recent decision to return to the PGA Tour under its new "Returning Members Program." This shift has raised eyebrows, especially in light of Koepka's recent success and the rumor mill stirring regarding other LIV players, including Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith, who have expressed their intent to stay.
Meanwhile, Thomas Pieters will also remain part of the 4Aces lineup, solidifying the team's commitment to maintaining a strong competitive presence in 2026. "There’s an amazing vibe around the 4Aces that you feel right away," Detry remarked, reflecting on his excitement to join the group. "You can see they play with confidence and there’s a definite swagger coming from all the guys… feeling like you belong on the biggest stages. That’s exactly the type of environment I want to be a part of."
The LIV Golf league continues to garner attention for its unique strategy of merging competition with cultural elements. With Johnson’s leadership and a solid roster, 4Aces GC is poised to be a formidable force in the upcoming season.
Looking ahead, the combination of seasoned veterans like Johnson and promising talents like Detry may elevate the 4Aces GC's chances for success in high-stakes competitions throughout 2026. The ongoing shifts within professional golf indicate an evolving landscape, one where player commitments and team dynamics will play an increasingly crucial role in determining the competitive hierarchy of the sport.
