I don't think he'll win in 2017. Arnie's tournament at Bay Hill in March will be the real test. He has owned that course and needs a good showing before the masters. Psychologically he doesn't believe he can compete with the younger players.You indirectly hear it in his comments. Also, he's damaged his body too much over the years through over-training.

He needs to play tournaments just to keep his PGA tour card. At this point, making the cut is going to be a massive victory for him. His swing these last two days was a mess. Faded everything, couldn't control his irons or drives consistently...his putting and chipping was the only bright spot, but he's so far behind everyone right now it's going to be a struggle just to make it to Saturdays.
