Andrew (Beef) Johnston

Andrew Johnston, better known as Beef, is a professional golfer on the DP World Tour who has also played on the PGA Tour and in three of the four men's Majors.

Beef took up golf after playing pitch and putt as a child and started his golfing journey at North Middlesex Golf Club, which remains his home club.

The Englishman, who won the Real Club Valderrama Open de España in 2016, turned pro in 2009 after a successful amateur career, which saw him represent England boys and the Great Britain and Ireland team in the Jacques Léglise Trophy. He worked his way through the Jamega, EuroPro and Challenge Tours before gaining his DP World Tour card for the first time in 2012 and his PGA Tour in 2017.

The 34-year-old has his own YouTube channel and is the owner and co-host of the hit Beef's Golf Club podcast alongside fellow Today's Golfer contributor John Robins. He's also tried his hand in the commentary booth and in front of the cameras at both The Open and the Ryder Cup in 2023 while recovering from a long-term hand injury.

A huge fan favorite, Beef is a Cobra Puma player and is coached by Jamie Gough. He is due to return to action in South Africa at the start of the 2024 DP World Tour season and has set himself a target to qualify for the European team for the next match in New York in 2025.

Away from golf, Beef is a huge Arsenal FC fan. He lives in Portugal with his wife Jodie and daughter Harley.
