Johnson's 2009 PGA Tour season is over

Dustin Johnson's final tournament on the PGA Tour in 2009 was his attempted title defense at the Oct. 1-4 Turning Stone Resort Championship. Johnson is not playing in this week's Viking Classic in Mississippi, and does not intend to play in the season-ending Children's Miracle Network Classic near Disney in Orlando from Nov. 12-15.
Johnson will likely next play competitively in the 21st annual $3 million Shark Shootout Dec. 9-13 at Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla. He received an invitation to participate this week. The tournament field consists of 12 two-man teams, and Johnson is not sure who his partner will be. Kenny Perry and Scott Hoch are the defending champions and are returning to defend. The pairings are expected to be announced on or around Nov. 3.
In addition to the Perry-Hoch team, host Greg Norman said he's playing with Fred Couples. The two were opposing captains in this year's Presidents Cup. Other players committed to the event include Tim Clark, J.B. Holmes, Matt Kuchar, Graeme McDowell, Jerry Kelly, Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, Brian Gay, Ian Poulter, Ross Fisher, Justin Leonard, Chad Campbell, Scott Verplank, Mark Calcavecchia, Chris DiMarco, Fred Funk, Nick Price, Jeff Sluman and Boo Weekley.
