He'll only be 26/27 at the end of the contract, by which point the current big salary leaders will be retired, so budget available to pay him a GT contender wage.
If he wins a tour during the 5 years, big bonus.
Thinking cynically, locking in a 5 year contract during a period when off during a serious injury makes good business sense, though I expect he is to be paid pretty well...
