While it's not as simple as one statistic, pointed to Spieth's tee-to-green rankings by year to show how Spieth's ball-striking has regre sed in recent years.

Spieth enters the 2020 Masters ranked No. 80 in the world.Speaking on the podcast in 2019, Spieth pointed to his putting as the root of his struggles. He said his"alignment got off because my eyes were not seeing where the putter blade was actually pointed, and therefore I couldnt trust it." That "bled" into the rest of Spieth's swing, he said. And when Spieth's swing became inconsistent, he looked to make changes that in turn made it even le s consistent, he added.Spieth described the key to his swing in a pretty simple sentence in that podcast: "I just had to time to the club better over the past year or so than Ive ever had to do. That suggests that at Spieth's peak, his swing was so locked in, so consistent, that he could focus on the intricacies of a single shot.

Spieth mi sed the cut at 2018's The Open Championship, though. At Spieth's 2016 peak, he mi sed two cuts the entire season. In 2017, he mi sed three. In 2018 and 2019, he mi sed four apiece.There's no one place to point for Spieth, who has mi sed the cut in three of his last five tournaments.

Not that Spieth has them, but the yips are a perfect example (please, never regre s to Charles Barkley's swing, Jordan). Spieth's comments on the podcast referenced above point to the 27-year old being a deep thinker about his game. When it's going wrong, that's probably not especially helpful.But Spieth being thoughtful about his game also gives him a chance to return toward the top. It's long past time for Spieth to recapture his exact swing and game of old instead, the still young and athletic Spieth needs to take his raw talent, combine it with his mind and create a new, winning version of himself.No matter how far Spieth falls, he'll still have won three majors and 11 PGA tournaments by the time he was 23.
