Gretzky — daughter of hockey icon Wayne Gretzky — dropped her duds in one last winter flourish before she goes on tour with golf star Dustin Johnson.

The twosome married last May and he joined the controversial Saudi-backed links loop LIV Golf shortly after.

Paulina simply captioned the saucy snapshot with a snowflake. And unsurprisingly it’s popular, racking up 46,000 likes within 24 hours of being posted on Friday.

One fan commented on the pic: “I like to imagine DJ is taking these pics like a standard Instagram husband.”

Another exclaimed: “Are you kidding me!!! DJ your a lucky dude.”

The first photo features Gretzky looking at the camera wearing the tiny sparkly bra and panties, partially covered by a white fur coat with the added touch of a pair of socks that match the lingerie.

On the couple’s snow-covered balcony, she’s wearing the same ensemble mugging for the camera.

Meanwhile, Johnson is slated to begin his second season with the LIV Golf tour. His first major championship stop is The Masters starting on April 6. He won the prestigious tourney three years ago.

Between the two of them, the Gretzky-Johnsons are reeling in the bucks. His four-year contract with LIV Golf is worth an estimated $125 million. In addition, the golfer pulled in about $38 million in prize money.

But money isn’t everything.

On Monday, Golf Digest reported that while the 38-year-old golfer racked up boffo bucks on the LIV Golf tour, he critically dropped around 38 spots in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Two-time major champ Johnson fell out of a critical OWGR category for the first time in 13 years by dropping out of the top 50.

Top-50 status by certain cut-off dates is how many golfers qualify for the four majors. Johnson’s major status remains safe — for now. As for The Masters, as a former champion he is guaranteed a spot for life.

In addition, he has a few years remaining to be able to play the U.S. Open after winning a 10-year extension for his 2016 victory. But depending on how the battle between the PGA and LIV Golf proceeds, that may not be guaranteed.
