Gretzky & Johnson Have 2 Kids: River & Tatum
Johnson and Gretzky are the proud parents of two children: River and Tatum. Johnson is also invested in the development of youth golf through his junior golf tournament, Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship. Johnson believes the best way to get young people involved in golf is to lessen the pressure.
“They don’t have to be fully committed at a young age,” Johnson told GOLF.com. “I played every sport growing up. You don’t just need to focus as a young kid on one sport. I think playing all of them for me was fun and I enjoyed it. Some of these kids at such an early age are so focused just on one sport that eventually they’re gonna burn out. I think it helps you develop skills that are needed for golf.”
Gretzky Met Johnson Thanks to Her Mother
Gretzky met Johnson thanks to her parents. Gretzky’s mother, Janet, played with Johnson at Tiger Woods pro-am tournament in 2011. She decided to play matchmaker after the tournament by inviting the golfer to meet her daughter.
“At the end of 2011, my mom played with Dustin in the Wednesday pro-am at Tiger’s tournament at Sherwood,” Gretzky told Golf Digest. “She told Dustin about her daughter, blah-blah-blah, and invited him to the house that night. I’m sure he was rolling his eyes, and so was I when my mom invited me over to meet this golfer she had just met. So I show up looking like a complete ragamuffin, and here’s this really cute guy. I didn’t stay long, but he was such a gentleman, so endearing. He’s always been that way to me. We exchanged numbers, and here we are.”
