His early career swing was a huge source of his success and decline. Nobody had such extension and power combined. This is fine when you're young, strong and flexible. He's now had a series of injuries (back, wrist ...), likely due to his monster swing and age. He can no longer swing the same. He's been tinkering with his swing for some time, but cannot capture the former magic. This has lead to mental playing issues as well. He will never be the same, but can he reinvent himself and still compete? Time will tell ... but it's fast running out.
