Johnson, 40, has missed five of his last seven cuts in the majors.
DJ shot an error-strewn +12 across his two rounds at last month’s USPGA Championship.
It followed another disappointing performance at the Masters, with the 2020 winner missing the weekend.
Johnson has failed to finish in the top three in any LIV Golf event on his last 20 starts.
He joined the Saudi-backed league in 2022 and has raked in over £50million in prize money.
Johnson’s former coach Butch Harmon recently questioned if the American was still committed to golf.
Speaking to AP, Johnson said: “I think I’ve got another six years in me
“I can grind for another six years. And then I’m going fishing.”

Johnson said: “I feel like my game’s been really close.

“I was still kind of giving away some shots. I need to clean that up a little bit.
