Players who lose in playoffs of majors don't come back well. The only player who recovered from a playoff loss to win multiple majors is Faldo. Take a look:
Masters playoff losers: (majors won since playoff loss)
'87 - Norman, Ballesteros (both won only one more major)
'89 - Hoch (0)
'90 - Floyd (0)
'03 - Mattiace (0)
'05 - DiMarco (0)
US Open playoff losers:
2001 - Mark Brooks (0)
1994 - Montgomerie, Loren Roberts (both 0)
1990 - Mike Donald (0)
1988 - Faldo (only exception)
British Open playoff losers:
1989 - W. Grady and Norman (0 and 1)
1995 - C. Rocca (0)
1998 - Brian Watts (0)
1999 - Van de Velde (0)
2002 - Appleby, Elkington, Levet (0)
2004 - Els (0)
PGA playoff losers:
2004 - DiMarco, Leonard (both 0)
1999 - May (0, but I think he was cheated by a fan)
1996 - Kenny Perry (0)
1995 - Colin Montgomerie (0)
1986 - Norman (1)
So what do you think Garcia's chances of ever winning a major are now? Bleak or none?
