Sergio is done in fact I'd be shocked if he even wins again period as oppose to a major. He has tons of talent and I would love to see him make another run but I just don't think his heart is into it anymore. I hope I'm wrong but in my opinion I just don't see the passion for golf in him anymore.

He may win the Two Bob Castellón Classic at his own club in the future, but I can't see him winning a tournament with a strong field. And Montgomerie has more chance of winning a major than Sergio.

Tour golf has turned into a job for him. Let's see how long that lasts.

Went to the Transition Championship Sunday and followed Chris Couch most of the day...being a G15 fan (see sig) it is just cool to see a Pro playing what you play...I was able to get up close to his sticks quite a few times (at the range and on the course) and they do not appear to have a special grind or anything...they look just like mine...it appeared he had "non stock" shafts (probably X100's) but other then that they are pretty much stock and he had 3-PW...I will aslo let you know that I recenlty talked to the PING rep in this area and he told me that they have eight staff players around the world actually playing G15 irons and when I said yeah but they probably have them altered he said really the only adjustment they will make is lie and loft...he said that PING will not play around with the offset...which is what you would think would bother the Pro's the most???

Anyway let me tell you that Couch is one hell of a ball striker with the irons...he appeared to struggle off the tee a bit and with his putting a bit but with a tie for 5th he did very well.  I am a fade bias player (like Couch) and the G15 just makes a ton of sense for that type of swing as we are not going to hit it left so the offset only helps us from fading it too much...great sticks and I have a new favorite on tour (3 top tens already this year)...

TEE - XCG6, 13º, Matrix Ozik HD6.1, stiff

    • 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.
