I have not yet had the honor or the privilege to meet 7-time PGA tour winner and 07' Masters Champion Zach Johnson; but working here at FootJoy you hear plenty of stories of tour players. Zach Johnson is no different and is most certainly a crowd favorite inside these walls in Fairhaven, Mass. His fellow Iowans certainly hold him in the utmost regard also. Johnson, whose precision game has made him a staple on the PGA Tour, received an award at his Alma Mater; Drake University the other day for contributions to his profession and community.
Heavy flooding swept across Iowa in 2008. Johnson, in response to these floods held a golf outing that raised almost $350,000 to help affected people. Last summer, Johnson started a foundation that is aimed at helping needy children in Cedar Rapids.
Does he do these things because it is good press or because it is the right thing to do? I believe that Johnson chooses the latter, because he genuinely cares about his fellow man and most certainly his fellow Iowans.
