The question you have to ask is, does Vijay look 45? If you look at his face, he looks like hes in his late 30s. His internal clock is probably ticking slower than the average, this means he will always be and look younger than his actual chronological age puts him at.

On the other hand, the 40 year old Billy Mayfair looks like hes 60. Obviously his internal clock wants to put him on the death bed ASAP.

Genetics has alot to do with it folks. Just because Vijay turns 45 doesen't mean he has to have a 45 year old body.
You're basing a lot on how VJ "looks" but the golf ball doesn't have eyes. Genetics does play a role but the tens of thousands of balls VJ has hit over the years plays a bigger role. Even the fittest bodies only have so many golf swings in them. Especially at the rate and level that VJ plays.

VJ certainly remains capable of winning and being a factor in the majors but his best days are behind him and I fully expect we'll continue to see his decline.
