Six-time major championship winner Nick Faldo says Tiger Woods's mental domination of golf is finished and he is potentially a weak link in the USA Presidents Cup team to play at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
The legendary Faldo told GolfChannel.com on Thursday the changes and injuries Woods has endured since his most recent win - at the 2009 JBWere Masters in Melbourne - had taken their toll and he would be unlikely to challenge Jack Nicklaus's golf record of 18 majors.
"He's quite a sensitive guy, so to try to come out after global humiliation with the (affairs) comments, let alone the criticism, it's pretty difficult," Faldo said.
"Once I tried to get more involved in business, and I went through divorce as well, your quality of concentration goes.
"Since he won two years ago in Australia, I don't know what is still the same in his life. Almost everything has changed, from the physical to the technical."
