His expectation was likely between 1-2 over that stretch, however since he won 0 it's the end of the world.
There is more to it than that. Since the Yang PGA and the personal stuff, TW has finished in the top 6 in almost half of his major starts (6/14). And he's been in contention after two rounds more than that. All without a win.
You can't find another stretch like that in his career where he contended so much without winning. The closest thing is 98-99, where he had two top 5's (and five top 10's) without winning over the course of 10 majors. But those were bookended with wins, and the timeline that's being talked about here doesn't start with his last major win.
NXT, you're a smart dude, and I know you watch every single shot you can see of TW's (as do I).
Something is different, you have to see that.
