This takes “he’s not good enough for my daughter” to a new level.
Dustin Johnson had his breakthrough year in 2016, winning his first major (US Open), along with two other tournaments, which led to him being named GOLF Magazine’s Player of the Year on Tuesday.
And yet that was not good enough for his future father-in-law, who took the opportunity to compare Johnson to peak Tiger Woods. This is what comes with the territory when you are engaged to Wayne Gretzky’s daughter.
“If I scored 50 goals in a season, I wanted 70 the next year,” Gretzky told GOLF.com. “If I got 70, I wanted 90. Never, ever settle. I’ve told Dustin he has to be more like Tiger.
“I don’t mean he has to be Tiger — you only get a few athletes like that a century. But part of what made Tiger Tiger was relentlessness. Dustin just won three tournaments and a major. That’s a great year. Now go win five tournaments and two majors. I want him to see that only he can put limits on himself.”
If it’s a father-in-law’s job to be critical of his daughter’s partner, it must be 10 times worse when that father-in-law is called “The Great One.”
