    Which non-major winners do yall think have the best chance to grab their first this year?

    I like Jason Day the most. Really good form lately and has been in contention in majors a lot. Would love to see Sneds, Kuch, or Stricker snag one though.

    Day, Snedeker and DeLaet have the best shot as non-major winners.

    Westwood and Garcia will never win a major.

    I'd like to see Spieth contend in a few majors this year. It's fun having a new wonder boy on the tour. He seems to have a knack for putting himself in position on Sunday, even if he couldn't hold it together this past weekend. I expect him to win multiple times this season.

    Yeah, should have had him on my list too.

    He is fun to watch and I do pull for him. He has to improve his putting big time to win a major IMO. Torrey Pines was a good test of major-style greens, and he struggled.

    Good point. I was just looking at his stats from last year. He was 4th on tour on putts from 15-25', but 158th on putts from 5' or less. He needs to work those short putts out.

    it won't. During the debacle last year we agreed on 2 threads, one major thread per year and one general pga and tiger talk. Should be good.

    I think Rory has a comeback year, Day finally gets one after contending in so many. Spieth continues his rise. And Tiger finally wins number 15.

    As would I. Hopefully he doesn't choke this year. Had a bad habit of it the previous one.

    Agree, but think he maybe a few years away. I think Snedeker, Kuch and Day have the best chances this year to break into the club. Tiger, not sure. This is one of those years that all of the courses he knows well, and has won on 3 of them. (Finished 2nd in 2005 and 3rd in 1999 at Pinehurst in past years.) But this was the same a few years back, 2010 I think, and laid an egg. As Tiger will always say, your year is judged by how well you compete in those four weeks.

    I feel Tiger will be in contention as usual, however the field keeps getting stronger. He certainly doesn't dominate like he use to. He'll have to bring his A-game every round if he wants to win one, because if he doesn't, there will be someone who will (like the aforementioned Sneds, Kuch, Day, Rory, DJ, etc)

    Tiger has to work for it like everyone else now. Personally, I'd rather see that than him blowing out fields.

    You don't think he worked for it before? He was clearly out-working everybody on tour.

    He obviously out-worked the others on tour, but now he's got to step it up even more. This is the most talented group the tour has ever seen, I don't care who ya are!

    Apparently not so obvious to the person I quoted.

    I must have phrased that wrong. I didn't mean he literally was not working. I meant that it appears to be more of a grind for him now than it was in his early/mid 2000s days. Part of it is that he seems to have lost a bit of his edge and part of it is that the field has come up to meet him. In his prime it 'looked' like everyone was working hard to win and that it came to him with less effort on the course (because he was that good).

    Gone are the days of him blowing out fields on a consistent basis. My point was that I would rather see a tournament, especially a major, that is tight down to the finish as opposed to Tiger blowing out the field by 5+ shots.

    I think we are all on the same page re: Tiger and the wide-open/even playing field. Tiger is still the favorite though.

    Tiger is not the same because when he was blowing out fields he was hitting everything on 2 legs on every tour stop. Since he got caught with his wood in every hole, he seems to have lost the magic touch. Plus he became a dad, so the focus is not to go spend so much time on the range and course, and at home with the kiddos.

    "It's tough right now, but I'm absolutely optimistic about the future," Woods said. "There are a couple [of] records by two outstanding individuals and players that I hope one day to break. As I've said many times, Sam and Jack reached their milestones over an entire career. I plan to have a lot of years left in mine."

    In a $20 Masters Pool. Grand Prize payout is around $1,400. Pick a 4-some (2 players in top 10 and 2 rest of field) and lowest total score wins. All players have to make the cut for a chance at the Grand Prize.

    My 4-some:

    Adam Scott
    Rory McIlroy
    Jason Dufner
    Brandt Snedecker

    I like Rory, and Sneds is a very good rest of field pick.

    So far I know those two are in my 4-some (pick any 4). Haven't decided the other two yet. Leaning towards Kuchar and Day.

    I think Day has been having some injury issues. Might be something to keep an eye on.

    I really would be surprised if Poults plays well. Seems like he needs to get something going. Maybe this will be his week.

    Anyone watching the tournament now? Should be a good finish here.

    I can't watch delayed golf. I'm listening via PGA radio. I'd talk about what's happening but don't want to spoil.
