Like many European golfers he took a golf scholarship in the United States as sports scholarships do not exist in Europe. In 2001, Johansson moved to the United States to play on the Professional Golf Association Tour, after successfully negotiating the 2000 Qualifying School. In 2001 and 2002 he only just held onto his card via his money list placing.
In 2003 he failed to do so, but he made a successful return trip to the Professional Golf Association Tour Qualifying Tournament.
In 2004 he lost six months to injury and ended the year with a failed trip to the Qualifying Tournament. In 2005 and 2006 he played on the Nationwide Tour with appearances on the Professional Golf Association Tour and the European Tour without recovering his form.
In 2007, Johansson had to rely on wild card entries to play on the European Tour, but a six shot victory at the Russian Open secured his playing rights until 2009. Johansson was the first Swede to play in the Ryder Cup twice (1995 and 1997) and he finished on the winning side both times.
