Paulina Gretzky shocks her fans as Dustin Johnson sweats over Ryder Cup call
Paulina Gretzky reveals dramatic new look at LIV Golf Bedminster as husband Dustin Johnson does little to boost his Ryder Cup hopes.
Paulina Gretzky showed off a dramatic new look at LIV Golf Bedminster on a weekend where her husband Dustin Johnson did little to boost his chances in earning of one of Zach Johnson's six captain picks in the US Ryder Cup team later this month.
Gretzky, 34, rocked up at the 11th LIV Golf League event of the season with new darkened shoulder-length hair.

Paulina's weekend was somewhat ruined as Johnson did little to boost his hopes of making a sixth Ryder Cup side.
It was DJ's last chance to prove something to captain Johnson in competition.
After a bright start with a round of 68, the two-time major champion and former World No.1 could only card rounds of 74 and 71.
That all added up to a 54-hole total of level par in a tie for 11th and 12 strokes behind runaway winner Cameron Smith.
Johnson, 39, may have gone unbeatean with a record 5-0 performance at Whistling Straits last time out in the Ryder Cup, but his form this season has been somewhat uninspiring with just one victory in Tulsa among five top-10 finishes from 11 LIV Golf tournaments.
In the majors, where skipper Johnson will have taken most note of LIV players this season, DJ only managed one top-10 finish with a T10 at the US Open in June.
Johnson slumped to ties for 48th and 55th at The Masters and US PGA respectively, and he then missed the cut in the final major of the year at The Open Championship last month.
DJ was seen warming up for The Open jumping off boats and partying hard with his wife Paulina.
As a result of some indifferent form this season, the bookies have slashed DJ's odds out to 8/1 for a captain's pick.
Zach's six captain's picks will be revealed the day after the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour at the end of this month.
Dustin Johnson is 8/1 to receive a captain's pick in the US Ryder Cup team

DJ's next LIV Golf League event does not come until well after that deadline from September 22 to 24, which is a week before the Ryder Cup.
Perhaps Zach will still choose to go with DJ's past Ryder Cup experience though, we will just have to wait and see.
Brooks Koepka is more than likely to be the only LIV Golf League player involved at this year's Ryder Cup.
However, we believe here at GolfMagic that Bryson DeChambeau should certainly be in Johnson's thinking following his unbelievable final-round 58 to run away with LIV Golf Greenbrier earlier this month.
Other players in the reckoning for picks include PGA Tour stars Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Tony Finau, Cameron Young, Keegan Bradley, Sam Burns and a red-hot Lucas Glover, who has impressively won the last two tournaments on the PGA Tour.
Should DJ be picked for the 2023 US Ryder Cup team?
