Dustin Johnson had arthroscopic surgery Thursday to repair cartilage damage in his left knee.
Johnson’s agent said the world’s No. 3-ranked player is resting comfortably and expected to make a full recovery before returning to the PGA Tour this fall.
The surgery was performed in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., by Dr. George Caldwell. Johnson had a similar procedure on his right knee in December 2011 and returned to action in mid-January 2012.

Johnson, 35, won his 20th PGA Tour title in 2019 at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship. The 2016 U.S. Open champion was runner-up at this year’s Masters and PGA Championship.
He struggled down the stretch this season with zero top-10 finishes in his last eight starts. Johnson tied for last in the 30-man field at the Tour Championship in his most recent start.
