Under his leadership, the WGA/ESF progressed from near financial insolvency to a solid standing with a $45 million endowment. Johnson also helped maintain a high standard for the WGA's tournaments: the BMW Championship, Western Amateur and Western Junior.
"His leadership resulted in the presentation of world-class championships that were admired and respected throughout the golf world," said John Kaczkowski, who succeeded Johnson as WGA president and CEO. "And Don's focus on building a firm financial base for our Evans Scholars program afforded thousands of young men and women the opportunity to earn their college degrees."
