Dustin Johnson, & More Abruptly Stopped from Playing $5M DP World Tour Event Over Troubling Conditions

It’s raining cats & dogs in Scotland! The field of the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was packed with LIV Golf stars this week. A record 17 players from the Saudi-based league are featured in the event at the Carnoustie Championship Course. And all of them are eager to grab the maximum prize money from the $5 million purse. However, their efforts have been cut short on the Friday evening of the event as the rain gods have decided to interrupt the play.

About an hour ago, the DP World Tour tweeted a video of scenes from the links course showing the strong winds and heavy rainfall. And a few minutes ago, they shared another video revealing that the entire course is waterlogged due to the precipitation. Hence, the second round of the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has been suspended towards the end of the day. As things stand, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, & Co. are yet to complete their 18 holes. Although they only have a few more holes to finish their rounds.

The fewest holes played by a pairing is 13. Hence, it’s safe to say that most of the round has already been completed. Even if the remainder of the day gets wiped off, then the tournament won’t have much trouble completing round two on Saturday. But that will only happen if the play doesn’t resume today. There is still 1 hour and 50 minutes left for sunset. If there is no further precipitation and the play resumes in the next 30 minutes, then all the players should be able to conclude the round today itself.
