We talk about running backs who burn out their bodies by too many carries and basketball players who put too many minutes on their knees and ankles, I wonder if Tigers body was naturally injury susceptible and by his early 30s it was simply over abused.

I agree.
This is a much more likely explanation for his recent lack of dominance than the accident and divorce. Lots of top athletes have gone through similar messes in their personal lives that didn't really affect their play. Injuries, overwork and burnout have done in many more athletes than non drug related personal problems have.
