Dustin Johnson was caught on camera vaping during the second round of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock, a moment that quickly circulated online. However, the incident highlights that there is no specific rule prohibiting smoking or vaping during a round on the PGA Tour or LPGA Tour. Johnson, who previously stated he abstains from regular smoking but enjoys cigars occasionally, was seen using a vape pen. This event is part of a broader trend of golfers smoking during competition, including Brooks Koepka, Si Woo Kim, Daniel Brown, and legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Despite the attention, the practice has been common for decades without resulting in penalties.
