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.

"Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." – Winston Churchill


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
Wilson Staff - Ci11, 3-SW, TX Fligthed, stiff

    • I was wondering the same thing, but haven't heard anything about an explanation.  Seems it almost had to be...
    • Ive missed some Rory wins in the last couple years including the Players (again) last month. this one feels so good. Congrats Rory on being only the 6th golfer ever to win the Grand Slam.     
    • Appreciate your responses—seriously. Agreed - Rory's overall play from 2015–2024 has been elite. Twenty wins, constant top-10s, and staying in the top tier of strokes gained stats year after year is no joke. That only makes the major drought more puzzling, not less. And yes, he’s come close—Carnoustie, St. Andrews, LACC—but that almost makes the argument more interesting. When you’ve got a guy that good, who keeps putting himself in position, why hasn’t he sealed the deal in the biggest moments? I do think his transformation post-2014—adding noticeable muscle, changing his physical profile—might’ve altered his swing tempo, feel, or ability to stay loose under extreme pressure. Not during Thursday or even Saturday—but on the back nine on Sunday, when the mental and physical margins get razor thin, especially at Augusta. Is this stat meaningful?  From 2016–2024, Rory lost strokes to the field on Sundays in nearly half of his major appearances, despite being dominant Thursday through Saturday. That pattern suggests it’s not just bad luck or getting beat—it’s a recurring issue with closing, under pressure. It’s tough to measure pressure in a spreadsheet. And Augusta especially punishes any uptick in tension or loss of touch. I’m not saying “getting jacked” is the sole reason for the drought—but looking for subtle shifts that could explain why a generational talent keeps coming up just short in majors, I think it’s worth considering. And OF COURSE - he finally got to the mountaintop, in extreme, dramatic fashion.  Maybe, as others have said, this will equate to cracking the code and going on a major run for the next 5-10 yrs?
