A Historic Finale: The Last Major at Firestone
The victory holds special significance for Johnson: With this win, he has qualified for the 2027 Players Championship on the PGA Tour. At the same time, the 2026 Kaulig Companies Championship was the last major held at the historic Firestone Country Club—starting in 2027, the tournament will take place in Newport Beach, California, under a new title sponsor. Johnson, who has won the 2007 Masters and the 2015 Open Championship, among other titles, in his regular Tour career, was visibly moved after the victory: “I feel very happy and incredibly blessed. The finish was unbelievable.”
