in fact he's been that poor that i dont even think he's in the Open! I could be wrong though

He's currently not listed on the Open Championship's website, so yeah, looks like he isn't in.

i encountered AK out about 6 months ago and he was schwasted. he's a super nice fella, so i've got no beef with him, but he is wasting his talent out partying like he does. some friends and i were sitting on the patio at a local bar next to his crew and he bought us all multiple rounds of shots. what can i say though, he's obviously enjoying his life. maybe he just wants to play well enough to live comfortably and do what he does?


I don't know for sure - but does he look terribly thin these days?

I know he grew his hair a lot longer but his face/build always look a lot 'fuller'/stockier than he does now...

But yeah, seems a good bloke and has a stellar golf-swing and game to match....maybe he'll pick it up again next year??

    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
