2011: Recorded nine top-25 finishes out of 14 made cuts. Unable to defend Hyundai Tournament of Champions crown due to a slice on his right index finger that required 12 stitches. He suffered the injury on coral reef the day prior to the first round while swimming in Maui. He was the second consecutive player unable to defend a PGA TOUR title (Stephen Ames, 2010 Children's Miracle Network Classic). Posted first top 10 of the season in his fourth start, with a T9 at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, defeating Padraig Harrington (4 and 3) and Thomas Bjorn (1-up) before losing to Bubba Watson (6 and 4) in the third round. The defeat was his most lopsided in 23 career matches at the Accenture Match Play Championship, an event he won in 2006 and 2008 and advanced to the final in 2007. Making sixth-career start at the Masters Tournament, turned in a career-best T4 finish with rounds of 69-69-73-67, highlighted by five consecutive birdies on Nos. 12-16 during the final round. Has never finished worse than T39 at Augusta National. In just third start at the RBC Canadian Open, and first since 2002 (T6), nearly added another national title to his resume (2006 U.S. Open) after four sub-par rounds led to T4 honors, matching his best finish of the season. Needing a third-place finish or better at the BMW Championship, finished solo-third to jump from No. 69 to No. 24 in the FedExCup standings and secure a spot in the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Also secured his spot on the International Team for the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne GC. The finish came in his 250th career PGA TOUR start and represented his 50th top-10 performance, his 100th top-25 finish and 175th made cut of his career. Fired a final-round 65 in defense of his Australian Open title to move up the leaderboard into a T4 at The Lakes GC in Sydney.

A year after winning the event by six strokes, posted his eighth consecutive round in the 60s on the Plantation Course at Kapalua. Joined fellow Australian Stuart Appleby as the only repeat winners since this tournament moved to Kapalua in 1999 and became only the seventh player in the 58 years of this winners-only tournament to win in consecutive years.

Responded with an eagle on the par-5 ninth and then birdied five of the next six holes to cruise to the victory. Kim and Davis Love III finished tied for second. Became the eighth consecutive international player to win at Kapalua. No other PGA TOUR event has gone that long without an American winner.
