Top-ranked golfer Dustin Johnson wore an Edmonton Oilers jersey with "Gretzky 99" on the back during the Canadian Open. Johnson said:

I get a lot of fans up here, thanks to Wayne. Thanks, Wayne, I appreciate that. I get a lot of fans, and it's great. It's always fun to play for a big crowd, to have them cheering you on.
I'm sure Wayne had something to do with it. They wanted us to wear our favorite hockey jersey when we hit the shot on No. 7, so I had the Gretzky jersey on.
