Simon Dyson

[shivas irons]

What is going on with this fella's game, he shot an opening 82 at The British Masters and withdrew,and his last two years earnings on tour have been dire by his standard.I know he had a brief suspension but surely this cant be the reason for such a bad run of current form,here is his career money by year,lets hope he can get his game in the right direction again cos he's a big talent who I considered would be knocking at the major door one day.

Just shows how difficult this game is.
Look at the likes of Donald & Westwood.

This could be Nick Dougherty, Ross Fisher, Jamie Donaldson, and many of the one time Ryder coppers. It's a tough game.

Looks grim in golfing terms , but he will probably never have to work for a living

Yes he will never need to work for a living with career prize money alone of over 10 million let alone sponsorship money.

Depends if he invested or blew it .... hope he did the former for his sake. Huge payouts or wages can sometimes be an issue. ( just wish I could experience that myself)

 

[HomerJSimpson]

He has always come over as a decent enough guy when I've seen him interviewed and it's sad to see any player struggling especially given where his game once was. I assume he isn't in danger of losing his tour card through one of the exemption categories?

 

[ScienceBoy]

Decent vacuum cleaners though. I have the fan too and the handheld thing, money well spent.

Move on hes had his day

sure hes not at home thinking about it as much as you

he travels the world playing golf!

 

[m10johnson]

He got an injury around 2/3 years ago. Ever since, he hasn't really featured.

Not as bad as Jin Jeong though...

 

[Robobum]

Seems his downturn follow his cheating ban.

Really? Simon Dyson. A potential major winner??

As above, he's gone off a cliff since has suspension. No idea how hard it would be to come back from that but it's a hell of a coincidence if it's not the cause.

Believe me Dyson will be very fustrated with his golf right now,he's a competitor and earned all that money cos he wanted to win,that doesent go away with a top sportsman.

He's really struggled with a wrist injury the last 18 months or so and as he has prepare to come back, he's been ill a couple of times. If he can keep fit for a period of time, I'm sure he will be fine.
