Johnson started his career in 1998 and has played a total of 520 events, earning a total of almost $50 million. He is 49 years old and is quickly approaching 50 years of age. With that in mind, Johnson shared his perspective on his upcoming career during press conference at the John Deere Classic on Wednesday.
"I hope I have the option of coming back here for the foreseeable future. I don't know what the future will hold." Johnson said when asked about whether he will be leaving the current tour.
"Honestly, going back to the beginning of that, a lot of what is going to transpire next year is going to be determined by the next so many odd weeks out here." He added.

Johnson has been suffering from elbow issues. He wears the KT tape to help with the pain of tennis elbow. So, he also adds physical condition as another factor in deciding his future career trajectory.

"I pay attention probably now more so to the physical side of me more so than the technical side of me. And I don't mind that," he continued.
"It's just the evolution of the game and the evolution of where I'm at as a pro. I've got a great team, great plan, great plot as to how to navigate that."
"If I can keep coming back here and playing, I'm not going to come back here necessarily just to play, I want to come back here to compete. That's what I am, first and foremost." Johnson added.

Real flirt with disaster late on to set up PSG semi at Club World Cup
Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia celebrates scoring during FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final match between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund at Metlife Stadium. David Klein/CSM via ZUMA Press Wire/dpa Real Madrid outlasted Borussia Dortmund 3-2 after a dramatic finale on Saturday to set up an intriguing Club World Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. Gonzalo Garcia opened the scoring in the 10th minute and Fran Garcia got the second 10 minutes later as Real were in full control. Advertisement But it was not over until plenty of stoppage time drama with three goals, a red card for Real's Dean Huijsen, and a mega save from Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois on the last play of the match. Maximilian Beier pulled one back for Dortmund completely out of the blue, Kylian Mabappe's artistic volley made it 3-1, Serhou Guirassy converted a penalty to give Dortmund hope again after being pulled down by Huijsen which resulted in the red card. Courtois then made an extraordinary save against Marcel Sabitzer to preserve the victory. New Real coach Xabi Alonso had brought on France captain Mbappe and Croatian veteran Luka Modric late in the game amid big cheers from the fans. Advertisement Dortmund came close but Real advanced into the final four which on Wednesday at the same venue will be a duel between the record Champions League winners from Spain and the reigning champions in the elite event from France. PSG beat Bayern Munich 2-0 earlier Saturday. "It a great challenge for us to play PSG. We are positive from today and move on to the next one," Alonso told streaming portal DAZN. Looking at the match, he added: "It was under control with the result and not conceding much, but the last 10 minutes were crazy. We lost our shape and intensity." Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton said: "We tried after the first goal and didn't give up. I already saw the last ball in. Advertisement "A 3-3 would have been lucky. We didn't do well in the first half. We conceded too easy and had too much respect. It was a little better in 2nd half." Alonso fielded the same 11 that started in the quarter-final against Juventus while Dortmund's Niko Kovac made two changes. Julian Brandt came on for Jobe Bellingham, whose suspension ruled out a of brothers against Real's Jude Bellingham, who in the past also played in Dortmund. The Germans had an early chance from Brandt's header which went wide but Real soon took control and took the lead in the 10th minute when Gonzalo Garcia volleyed in Arda Güler's pass. Advertisement It got worse for Dortmund when a cross from the right by Trent Alexander-Arnold found the other full back Fran Garcia to drill home for 2-0. Bellingham shot wide in the 26th and Vinicius Junior chipped over with Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel stranded far outside of his goal shortly before half-time. Real were not quite as dominant after the break but Dortmund also lacked in attack to find a way back into the match. Aurelien Tchouameni rattled the crossbar but a goal would not have counted because Vinicius Junior was offside in the build-up. Güler aimed inches wide in stoppage time and Antonio Rüdiger poked wide as well as Real appeared to head to an easy win - until all the drama unfolded late on.
