Did I miss the part about why he's never won a major?
It's frustrating because even if by some miracle he WAS interesting enough to make a movie about DiCaprio will never be young enough to play him…although he's a dead ringer.
It's a little like my other idea for a golf movie.- Gene Hackman in "The Ray Floyd Story".
