Who knows? He just played terrible in the 2009 PGA final round, why isn't that enough? I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue.
Between that loss, the first like it of his career in majors, and his personal life falling apart, I think it's possible he got shook. Period.

I don't know what the Jordan/Bron debate is, so.....
If you want to explain him going 14-0 with final round leads in majors, and seemingly pulling off every big shot or making every big putt he needed to make as just positive variance, and the last few years as just the flip side to that, ok I guess?
