The Story of David Duval

Once confidence is gone, sometimes it’s gone forever.

At one point, Duval was a precision machine — world number one, fearless under pressure. Then, almost overnight, the swing, the belief, the certainty — vanished.

It’s the part of the game no one talks about. The silence that follows a miss. The questions that start to echo.

Is it the equipment? The backswing? The injury? The practice routine?

 These questions become a battle for everyone — even the pros.

Self-doubt is never fully conquered; they just learn to live with it, each in their own way.

 Some recover from droughts. Some don’t.

And in that thin divide between confidence and collapse, the story of every player is written.
