Yeah he is definitely trying a tad too hard. He needs to get back to playing tour golf and sharpening his skills and confidence that way. Sitting out too much I don't think can help matters although I know he was resting his injury. He doesn't really need the cash that tour golf brings, but I think it is the best way to hone his game and his new swing methods. I'm not a big fan of Foley and the stack and tilt, I much prefer the Harmon swing Tiger used, but I understand that his surgically rebuilt knee can't take the load that swing puts on his left leg. Also, his body is breaking down, but his temper I think is what is really hurting him. He is out there GD'ing after every shot and cursing up a storm. 2002 Tiger did not do this, at least I do not remember him being this bad.
Definitely a good win for Mickelson. The dude should have 10 majors right now, just like Norman his game would make you think he would have more majors than he has although 5 is very respectable. The US Open might be his unicorn however.
