About Zach

From his Iowa roots and time grinding on mini-tours, Zach Johnson has built a career defined by consistency and big-moment wins. He broke through on the PGA TOUR in 2004, then became a household name at the 2007 Masters, where he captured his first major championship at Augusta National. Johnson added a second major in 2015 with a memorable victory at The Open Championship at St. Andrews, cementing his place among golf’s elite.

A 12-time PGA TOUR winner, Johnson has represented the United States on five Ryder Cup teams and three Presidents Cup teams, and later served as Ryder Cup captain in 2023. Known as one of the game’s consummate professionals, his impact extends beyond competition. In 2010, Zach and his wife, Kim, founded the Zach Johnson Foundation, supporting children and schools in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, highlighted by the annual Zach Johnson Foundation Classic charity event.
