BOLTON, Mass.—Dustin Johnson gave LIV Golf its first big moment on Sept. 4 when he made a 35-foot eagle putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the LIV Golf Invitational-Boston for his first victory in 19 months.

Johnson’s putt on the par-5 18th was going so fast it might have rolled some 6 feet past the hole.
