Professional career
2004
Johnson enjoyed success right away, winning medalist honors at the 2004 Canadian Tour Fall Qualifying Tournament in Ashburn, Ontario (northeast of Toronto). Shortly after, he entered the 2004 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and was successful in advancing through the first and second stages. By getting to the final stage, Johnson received conditional status on the Nationwide Tour in 2005.
2005
On the Nationwide Tour in 2005 Johnson posted one top-10, a T9 finish at the Mark Christopher Charity Classic. At the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open he had a hole-in-one on No. 8 during the second round. He finished the season 105th on the money list. He then entered the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament where he finished tied for 33rd, missing his PGA Tour card by just one stroke. However that was good enough to earn him fully exempt status on the Nationwide Tour in 2006.
2006
Johnson started 2006 with very little success, missing the cut 13 times in his first 20 tournaments. However he played much better at the end of the year, making 5 out of 6 cuts including Top-10 finishes at the Oregon Classic (T6) and the PalmettoPride Classic (T4). He then entered the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament playing the best golf of his young career. Not surprisingly he finished tied for 8th at the final stage of qualifying, earning his PGA card for 2007.
2007
As a rookie on the PGA Tour in 2007, Johnson played his first ever PGA Tour event at the Sony Open in Hawaii. He played well in the first round but was disqualified in the second round for signing an incorrect scorecard. In his second tournament, the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, he made his first PGA Tour cut and finished tied for 18th, earning himself $56,667. That was his only Top 25 finish of the year however. He ended up in 196th spot on the final PGA Tour money list with $190,926. Only the top 125 players on the final money list remained fully exempt members of the PGA Tour in 2008. At the PGA Tour qualifying tournament in November Johnson failed to keep his card for 2008 as he finished outside the Top 25. However he placed high enough to be fully exempt on the Nationwide Tour in 2008.
2009
Johnson had only conditional status on the Nationwide Tour in 2009. He played only 7 tournaments and earned $10,690, finishing 192nd on the official money list. He has no status on the PGA Tour or Nationwide Tour in 2010.
The Korn Ferry Tour is the developmental tour for the U.S.-based PGA Tour, and features professional golfers who have either not yet reached the PGA Tour, or who have done so but then failed to win enough FedEx Cup points to stay at that level. Those who are on the top 30 of the money list at year's end are given PGA Tour memberships for the next season. Since the 2013 season, the Korn Ferry Tour has been the primary pathway for those seeking to earn their PGA Tour card. Q-School, which had previously been the primary route for qualification to the PGA Tour, has been converted as an entryway to the Korn Ferry Tour.

In professional golf, the term qualifying school is used for the annual qualifying tournaments for leading golf tours such as the U.S.-based PGA and LPGA Tours and the European Tour. A fixed number of players in the event win membership of the tour for the following season, otherwise known as a "tour card", meaning that they can play in most of the tour's events without having to qualify. They join the leaders on the previous year's money list/order of merit and certain other exempt players as members of the tour.
