In May 2017, he narrowly avoided prison after being found unconscious while driving his car. It is believed then at the bottom of the hole. He himself does not know if he will be able to play golf at the highest level again.

Since then, he has rebuilt himself and started playing again ten years after his last victory in major (2008).

And the phenomenon is still there: 650th world player in January 2018, he returned to the top 50 of the best in the world in July after having narrowly missed winning The Open at Carnoustie and the last USPGA. He will be part two months later of the American delegation for the Ryder Cup organized in France.
