Ryggs Johnston
One of Libby’s own is about to tee off on one of golf’s biggest stages.
Ryggs Johnston, a 25-year-old professional golfer and native of Libby, will compete in The Open in the United Kingdom this weekend, joining a prestigious field at one of the sport’s four major championships. It marks a major milestone for the former Libby Logger and Arizona State standout, who has quickly made a name for himself on the global golf stage.
Johnston has been riding a wave of momentum since turning pro in 2024. After graduating from Arizona State University, where he played five years for the Sun Devils and helped lead them to the 2024 Pac-12 title, Johnston earned his way onto the PGA Tour Americas via PGA Tour University. He finished his collegiate career with All-Pac-12 honors in three different seasons and was named the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2023.
