Johnson was born to Kandee Johnson and Scott Johnson on 22 June 1984. The couple gave birth to the golfer in Columbia, South Carolina where he spent his younger years growing up. Although the couple had another two children, a son and a daughter named Austin and Laurie respectively, they divorced in the late 1990s and have not been on speaking terms since. Following this, ‘DJ’ and his sister started to live with their father after the separation.
But, if one were to question where he got his athletic side from, look no further than his parents. The 24X PGA Tour champ’s father was an athlete, or more specifically, an all-state wide receiver at South Carolina’s Chapin High. Although the Dad had an opportunity to play collegiate football, an accident involving his arm stopped his career short, turning his attention to another sport, golf.
