What happened to Martin? For a while he was consistently in the mix in a lot of majors, won 2, got to #1 in the OWGR and then poof was gone. I know his Mom passed away and I kind of remember an event in Dubai (possibly) where he had a melt down. He hasn't seemed to be in the mix at all.

 

Whether it's true it not I don't know but my understand is that he was trying to tweak his game to suit Augusta and over tinkered. Again, grain of salt.

I think he messed around with his swing. Maybe too much, or in hind sight should have left "well enough" alone

Interesting thought. I never heard that take but it definitely makes sense.

He tried to switch to a draw and add distance/play Augusta well, but it screwed everything up and he fell off the map. As soon as he went back to the fade, he started getting his confidence back.

 

On another note, this bag is spectacular - LOVE that longneck PLD Anser and those raw MG wedges.

It was Abu Dhabi in 2015. Had a 10 shot lead with 13 holes to go at an event he had previously won 3 times. Finished 2 shots behind the eventual winner. Almost won an event on the ET in 2018. Split with his long time caddie late in 2018. Still a young guy. Only 34.

I think he already had the M5 in bag in Dubai? Interesting that he dropped it.. Good that he finally has a bag sponsor, that weird silver grey bag was an eyesore.

Tough to have any confidence after that sort of meltdown, but he's hanging in there, so who knows, just another close win or a win would stoke the fire back

That's him back with the Taylor Made bag. For a good few years, he was out there with a plain staff bag and no TM on there as he didn't want to commit extra time to Taylor Made in terms of corporate days, etc. Interesting that has changed given that Taylor Made seem to be hell bent on reducing the number of guys that they have with staff deals...like Justin Rose!
