Report: Golf star Dustin Johnson hit with six-month ban from PGA Tour after testing positive for cocaine - NY Daily News
Dustin Johnson’s leave of absence, announced by the 30-year-old golfer on Thursday, coincides with a six-month suspension by the PGA Tour, as first reported by Golf.com on Friday, for a failed drug test for cocaine earlier this year.
Johnson, who last year got engaged to Paulina Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, has a reputation as a hard partier with several unconfirmed stories of his dabbling in drugs and extra-marital affairs circulating around the PGA Tour. He is said to have had two trysts with wives of PGA Tour players, including one that allegedly broke up the marriage of one Tour player.
