Probably so. He’s fallen to 94th in the world and hasn’t won for a long while.

Yes, that's correct. He's not currently invited next week.

I hope he wins but I doubt it. He's been struggling for years

A lot of golfers from that era are no longer competitive.

Keegan Bradley, Jason Dufner, Graeme McDowell, Jason Day all have seemed to have faded away like Rickie.

Puma and Cobra have a new poster child with Bryson. And now Kyle Berkshire for that matter.

I always liked Rickie. Hopefully he gets it together again

2018 was probably his best chance. Shot 67 in the final round and lost by one to Patrick Reed. One shot away from lifetime exemption and three years later he’s not even in the tourney. That’s tough. He hasn’t been at a high level since with the exception of the 2019 Waste Management. Hope he gets it going again, but he’s living a pretty good life regardless!

Pretty sure Jason Day is still top 50. Agree with the rest.

For the first three I’d attribute that to age. For Day, his injuries really held him back. For Rickie I think mentally he checked out for a while and just never got it back.

I think he'll be ok.

Keegan has been playing decent lately

Edit: I retract my statement. He had a good tournament or two. But upon further review, he still sucks.

Are all like 10 years older than Rickie.

Rickie is right around 30, he should be in his prime. He tried/is trying to change his swing to be less laid off at the top. He's currently in the wilderness, and likely one of two things will happen. He'll never be good again or it'll click seemingly overnight and he'll play better golf than before.

Keegan is only 34.

Graeme is only 41 and Dufner is the oldest at 44. They’re not in their early 20’s but I wouldn’t consider that to be old.

Wow. I didn’t take the time to look it up but it sure seems like he’s much older.

Forgot to add Nick Watney and Hunter Mahan to that list. Both still in their 30’s and haven’t done much since 2011.

Keegan being 34 sounds so odd. He's quirky mannerisms and adhd make him seem 44.

Age aside, he’s peaked and we all know it.
