Robert Allenby, one of the most successful players on the PGA tour, is attributing his fall from golf’s top tier to a highly publicized problem he had in Hawaii earlier this year.

In January, Allenby ended up battered and disheveled on a street near a Kapiolani Boulevard wine bar where he’d apparently been drinking. He says a homeless person found him and told him he’d been kidnapped. Media outlets turned their attention to the story and later tracked what they reported as his visits to a strip club, casting doubt on his version of events.

In this post by USA Today’s Josh Peter — headline “Robert Allenby has nightmares about kidnapping police say didn’t happen” — Allenby talks about how his golf game has gone downhill since the incident, his decision to seek psychiatric help, and his upcoming marriage.
