Dustin Johnson made a clutch putt on the first playoff hole in Oklahoma to win LIV Golf Tulsa.

Dustin Johnson made a clutch putt on the first playoff hole at Cedar Ridge Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma Sunday to earn his second LIV Golf title.

Johnson, captain of the 4 Aces GC, has also provided the perfect response to his on-going rivalry with former teammate Talor Gooch.

Gooch was a member of Johnson's team in 2022, but was swapped out and joined the Range Goats for 2023.

Since then, the two have exchanged remarks towards each other through press conferences.

After Gooch won his first event in Adelaide, Johnson told reporters:

"I'm glad we snipped him, though, for sure, just to give it to him a little bit more."

Gooch went on to win back-to-back LIV Golf events with the next tournament in Singapore.

After his second victory, he told reporters:

"Where's D.J. right now?"

Johnson, 38, responded Sunday with his own second LIV Golf victory after defeating Cameron Smith and Branden Grace in a playoff.

All three players were tied at 17-under in Oklahoma after 54 holes.

They replayed the par-4 18th, where all three had similar birdie chances. However, it was Johnson who came out victorious as the only of the three to sink his birdie putt.

With it, the American joins Gooch and Brooks Koepka, as the only three players to earn multiple LIV Golf events in the league's short history.
