“Every relationship goes through its ups and downs, but most importantly, we love each other very much and are committed to being a family,” Johnson wrote. “Thank you for your love and support.”

Last weekend social media observers noticed Gretzky had deleted all photos of Johnson from her Instagram account, fueling speculation that one of the sport’s most recognized couples was on the verge of a split. Gretzky and Johnson have been engaged since 2013, and have two sons together.

Johnson’s representatives told Golf Digest that Johnson had no follow-up statement on the matter.

Johnson is scheduled to play in the PGA Tour’s season-finale Tour Championship next week at East Lake, along with representing the United States in the Ryder Cup at the end of the month.

Gretzky, who is a model, singer, celebutante and daughter of hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky, has yet to issue a comment.

Playing in the RBC Canadian Open, World No. 1 arrived to the par-3 seventh during Wednesday’s practice round. The seventh has become known as “The Rink,” tournament organizers’ attempt to create a signature hole a la the 16th at TPC Scottsdale. The tee box is outlined with a hockey wall, there’s an area that allows players to take a slap shot at a net, a penalty-box suite is nearby, and marshals are dressed as referees. It’s all very…Canadian. Johnson got in the spirit by donning the uniform of the Great One, who is famously the father of Johnson’s fiancee Paulina Gretzky.

Give the man credit. Despite its baggy confines, the 34-year-old managed to make a nice pass at his ball. However, let’s hope this trend doesn’t continue. No one needs to see Bubba Watson rocking his NBA All-Star gear at Riviera next year.
