If any other golfer had been away from competition this long I would say they have no chance. Tiger is the exception to the rule in any case. He always has a chance. $5 on Tiger. Tiger could win.

Tiger is comfortable there and the staff and membership won't put up with anyone from the gallery getting crazy, it's a very controlled enviorment. I think he could win the Masters this year, it has been a while since Tiger got the green jacket so he is due! You have got to remember he is still the best player on the planet.

The grooves rule will put a premium on hitting fairways because pros can spin the ball the same out of the fairway. As an amateur you can still play the other wedges until 2024 so it will be a while before this rule effects the masses. I’m not sure if going after the grooves is the right thing.

One course in particular that I've enjoyed is Burnt Pine at Sandestin. Alister Mackenzie and Donald Ross are my favorite old school designers. What they created using mostly the lay of the land they were provided is amazing! Other than Greg Norman, my favorite modern day designer is Rees Jones.

Greg has done an incredible job at Sharks Tooth, Medalist Golf Club and of course Tennessee National. They all have the same feel of natural lay of the land and not much dirt moved. Alister MacKenzie is probably my favorite old school designer, his courses are timeless. Some of the best designs in the world you will ever see, hands down!

But if you dress for the weather it's not too bad. I try to play golf once a week if I’m lucky, because I don’t like to play in the cold. But if you dress for the weather it’s not too bad.

This and last years Open were as good of chances as he may ever get. Kudos to him for sticking with the game after all these years. On a side note, Dustin Johnson may be working his way into the category of the best 20 something golfer on the PGA Tour. Many of the other guys have bigger names but it seems like Johnson is gaining more and more confidence and is looking to have a break out year.
