I agree, think he has to be the favorite. He's playing at a level that I never thought he'd play at again.

My long shot dark horse is Johnson, either Zack or Dustin. Are would that be horses?

I'll be honest with you, I gave up golf back around 1997 or so and the only reason I watch it is because of Woods. If he's not in the running, I don't watch it.

The past two years and his personal problems were a major disappointment to me in terms of his lack of performance. Hopefully that has come to an end.......

But why do I like Tiger Woods? Because he shows the same emotions on the course that I can relate to: the anger after a bad shot, and the fist pump after a made putt. It drives me nuts when I hear folks criticizing golfers for any emotional display, as if golf isn't a sport where emotions should be released.

Golf needs to evolve and change just as bowling has. Where once the bowlers were afforded silence, they now have fan participation on every roll.

Basketball has no rule of silence when the free throw shooter is at the line in a tied game with only 2 seconds left in the game.

As a side note, another reason I gave up golf is because my golf partners got tired of my firecrackers........
