Overview

  • The two-time major winner has managed only a tie for eighth at the Masters as his lone top-10 in what he calls the worst season of his career.
  • He missed two months after sustaining an intercostal strain and cartilage tear in his ribs at the season opener in Hawaii.
  • He extended his PGA Tour cut streak to 67 consecutive tournaments, the longest in 20 years, yet stands 57th in the FedEx Cup standings.
  • At this week’s Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club, he plans to leverage links golf’s low-tech challenges as a confidence reset.
  • He says he has stopped “beating up” on himself and has reset expectations to focus on process and mental resilience rather than replicating last year’s success.
