Who other to start with then Tiger Woods? Is there any question he is going to win this? No. He is 3/2 at most betting sites and it’d be tough to bet against him. Think you are making 1.5 times your money. That is highway robbery with Tiger at the Masters. And the fact that the only other golfer playing well at Augusta as of late is Phil “Blow-up” Mickelson, I’m thinking Tiger could route this field by five plus strokes. And it's the tenth anniversary of his first Masters route. I expect greatness.
Back to Mr. Blow-Up himself. Now he may not blow-up this year I see nothing from him. Whenever Tiger is at his best Phil is no where to be found. I would like to see a Phil vs. Tiger Easter Sunday Showdown though, but not because I work with CBS or anything. And no I do not rob banks in Augusta either like some CBS workers. This would be a killer match up. I can just imagine Sunday the 8th right now. Couch + HD + Tiger + Flustered Phil + Easter = Immaculate Sunday.
Some of my sleepers who also appear on my Top Ten List on the side of the blog are Aaron Bads, Tim Clark, and Sergio Garcia. Aaron Baddley has performed very well this year and SI Golf Plus picked him as a strong contender for this year Masters. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and join them. Sergio may be at his best in some time this year and may have all those hitches out of his set up in time for Thursday. If he does I expect a strong top ten performance from someone who has never quite performed to lofty expectations. And Tim Clark is the perfect grinder for this tough Augusta course. He may just sit -2 all week and sneak into the top ten.
That is my small, short preview. I really expect nothing less then a Tiger route this week. And this will all lead up to yet another chance at another Tiger Slam if he wins the US Open. Greatest golfer in history, check. Greatest athlete ever, he’s coming close.
