Els won the Honda Classic at the beginning of March and there were many who thought he was on the comeback trail after injuries forced his game to suffer. But ever since – not much.

Tiger might as well have been here. For all the great golf that was – or more correctly, was not – played, the most fearsome force in the game might as well have been battling the elements at Royal Birkdale like everyone else.
