Duval use to have the same build before he lost all the weight and became the skinny Duval that most remember him by. When he lost all the weight he started to play bad and some say it is why he went back to his normal body type...

I told my wife, I thought he ate the dead seal that was on the rocks in the bay there.

He's definately looking very Val Kimerish these days.

It's still beyond me how somebody could be a pro athlete and not be work out and be fit.  Regardless of which sport they play.

Probably the reason somebody like Martin Martin (age 52) can still be competitive in Nascar and run with the 20 yr old somethings.

The weight gain is particularly unflattering, considering that DD's body distribution is about 90% torso. He very much resembles a penguin these days.

Well it takes a lot of fitness to step on the gas and turn left.. :)

Question is, would you look like him if it would make you play like him?

Oh, never mind, I already look like that.

I have been thinking this for some time now.  I literally lol'd seeing someone else point it out.  He just looks very dis-proportioned, i dunno it's weird. But I have always pulled for him, just seems like recently I noticed his shape.

He is a little disproportionately round, now that you mention it.

    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • 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.
