Fans took to the comment section, with some blaming his LIV Golf move, while some said he has lost his edge and hinted it may be time to retire.
"liv golf claims another one," one fan commented.
"Lost his edge with LIV," another fan wrote.

While a few fans were sympathetic and pointed out he narrowly missed out after playing 36 holes post-PGA Championship. Some even argued he deserved a special exemption.
"He barely missed out on a playoff for the last spot. Must have been tough playing 36 holes right after he finished four rounds at the PGA. He's not as young as he used to be :-)," one fan pointed.
"65-71 and doesn’t qualify sheesh," other fan commented.
"Sergio is a top 10 ball striker. @usga is absolutely cooked if they don’t give him a special exemption," one fan argued.
