More distant? He won 5 TIMES last season. He has won MORE tournaments since the last Ryder cup than anyone! He was number 1 heading into last year's playoffs. he was 1st on the President's cup qualifier list last year. He won the Vardon trophy for low scoring average on tour last year (I think he has won this something like 10 times!). This is just last year not "more distant than some will acknowledge". Or are my facts wrong?

He has struggled in the majors for sure and perhaps his body has let him down at this point. The timeline for his back problems stems back to last year's PGA which was almost 1 year ago. But it's not his capability.
