Nice round today, but he putted lights out today. He only hit 19 greens the last 36 holes, and if he keeps on hitting it like that he's not winning anytime soon.

He's almost always putted lights out though and I don't think even he is expecting to win right now. Better signs but still too early to read too much into it.

Maybe its the T100's fault.....just sayin......well, his season came to a horrific end once again....maybe he has peaked and this is who he really is??? I thought he would win and comeback strong....boy was I wrong.....hopefully we see him in the winners circle when the season restarts but I'm not hopeful after this year.....where are you Jordan?????

Well, he has time before the silly season starts. He should really go to work. The game tee to green has just been way inconsistent. The short game has been solid and the putter streaky as putters always are.

I think that YJS is close but he might be at a crossroad between what people want him to be or becoming a cash machine like a Kuchar.

Interesting that he's now gone two "seasons" without a win. Phil never had a two-year gap until he got old. Rory's younger but hasn't gone two years yet either. Not sure about Tiger; he had 2010-2011but he didn't play a full schedule then due to personal and health issues.

 

In terms of the future, I guess it doesn't really matter that the drought is at two seasons though. Will be interesting to see what his fall season looks like. I kind of assumed some of his fall play last year was due to not playing enough events during the season. Don't know if he'll try to work through it at some of the lesser events or just disappear until next year.

 

Also wonder about any changes to the team (seems like instructor most likely) or if he continues to give it a go as is for another season...

Jordan's biggest problem atm is that the aura is gone. The 2 years wasn't just without a win but with the kind of performances that created tons of scar tissue. He's pretty much damaged goods mentally even if he can still play a decent round like 67 with 21 putts. But you can't win tournaments with it.

I doubt it's easy or he'd have surely sorted it by now. I'm sure it's easier to address in an off season. I still believe there is enough signs to be optimistic.

Golf is more exciting with Spieth competing at the top of the leaderboard so for that reason alone I hope he returns sooner rather than later.

Just like many that have posted, we are all just guessing at what is wrong...........But regardless of what is wrong, if a tour pro with a posse of supporters can't correct a problem in a 2 year time frame, what ever it may be, swing, clubs, head, then I'm going out on a limb and saying that as far as being a winner on tour again - "ain't gonna happen". Now in honesty, I'm also hoping for that reverse psychology to kick in after that statement.........

Well Tiger had worse issues and didn't win for a few years and he's doing OK. Not saying YJS is Tiger, but he did start out like him. Maybe he should try working out. Getting more muscle will change his swing and give him more distance. Either he will win again or he'll be out of the tour.

The biggest problem is everyone EXPECTS Spieth to win and win often because of the unbelievable run he had in 15. Golf is hard.

Really hope to see him back in the winners circle at some point soon. The memories of the way that he burst onto the scene was so impressive and good to watch, that it would be good to see him getting back to some of that.

Not really a valid comparison. Tiger has/had major health issues, which morphed into an additional problem, but Jordan, as far as we know, does not have any health issues. Jordan apparently, attempted to transform his game via swing/grip changes and really has kind of "shot himself in the foot", as the saying goes. As of late, he seems to be making a modicum of progress, but the distance he still has to go to regain what was, seems to be far from close. As for working out and gaining more muscle, that unto itself it not a cure all, in fact it could very well have a negative impact. Comparing Tiger to anybody is not relevant. Tigers mental fortitude and work ethic, is so far above the norm, that it's highly doubtful that anyone on tour today, can even come close to shouting distance of what he has over came and accomplished.

 

The an old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", jumps out here for Jordan and apparently it fell on deaf ears. It was either Ben Hogan or Sam Sneed that said, "ya gotta dance with the one that brung ya" and that falls in line with ain't broke - don't fix...........

No the biggest problem is he hasn't won since July 2017.

 

That is bad for any top 10 caliber player. To go ~28 months without winning when you're not injured.

Three lifetimes is his estimate on how long it would take anyone to break that record. I’m not sure what the question is ?

Didn't Jordan start hitting the ball like garbage after switching to the TS2 driver? I'm not joking either he went from 50th in strokes gained off the tee in 2018 switched in November that year and then became ranked 176th!! Driving accuracy went from 61% down to 53%... Okay yes his iron game fell apart too, but I'm pretty sure it happened after.
