Dustin Johnson is heading into the weekend at the PGA Championship with renewed confidence after carding an even-par 70 in Friday's second round. The two-time major champion sits at two-over par overall following his opening 72 at Aronimink, setting his sights on a third major title.

But while Johnson's focus is on the leaderboard, the elephant in the room remains the uncertain future of LIV Golf. The Saudi-backed league is facing a pivotal moment, with its funding from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) set to expire at the end of the season. Speculation is mounting that the circuit could fold entirely.

When pressed on what he would do if LIV Golf ceases to exist next year, Johnson kept his cards close to his chest. "You have to ask me when it comes to that," he said after his second round, deflecting the question with the calm demeanor that has defined his career.

Despite the funding concerns, Johnson believes LIV Golf is in a "pretty good spot." That confidence is backed by his multi-year contract extension signed in January—though that was before the PIF confirmed its decision to pull the plug. For now, Johnson is laser-focused on the task at hand: making a run at the PGA Championship, where he earned a special invitation to compete.

Johnson's recent major performances have been a mixed bag. He managed a T33 finish at The Masters last month and a T23 at The Open Championship last year, but those results followed a rough stretch where he missed the cut at Augusta, the US Open, and the PGA Championship. This week at Aronimink, he's already justified the invitation, playing steady golf while several of his LIV Golf counterparts have struggled.

On the LIV Golf circuit this season, Johnson sits 27th in the individual standings, with a T10 finish as his best result from seven starts. But as the weekend unfolds in Pennsylvania, all that matters is the leaderboard—and a third major title waiting to be claimed.
