Seems like it’s gonna be warm for the tournament but cold today and tomorrow for practice.

So players will have to realize the ball flight will be totally different today than it will be 48 hours from now.

Garcia is an interesting pick. IMO, he lacks the poise to take it to the clubhouse.

Sergio Garcia. ...same guy who blamed Europe's loss in the Ryder Cup on small locker rooms, the playing of the national anthems, and his cold relationship with Padraig Harrington.

Biggest immature wuss on tour, that Sergio.

When I found out Harrington couldn't stand the guy, he instantly became one of my favorite golfers.

One thing I really like about Masters is that one hears very few fools in the gallery screaming "you da man!" and "in the hole!" I suspect people in green jackets escort those types out of the premises in short order.

I also like the fact that the tourney only has two sponsors, and that commericials are both short (two consecutive 30 sec. spots) and few and far between.

The Masters is a class act all the way around.

Have you heard Jim Rome's "Golf Guy" blast? Pretty funny. ...because it's so true.

(lol @ that Rolfing clip).

the top five as:

(2) Mickelson

His "Tune-up" last week was none too impressive!

This is Gary Player’s last Masters. He’s always been one of my favorites. He’s also a great announcer of golf, and doesn’t do that often enough for me.

Wow. She is hot isn’t she. Having her as a caddie would be a distraction.

“Everyone gets Tiger as an automatic.”

My father, who doesn’t like sports much, is interested in solely because of Tiger Woods.

I think your statement above is so profound. I count myself as fortunate to be old enough to witness and appreciate Tiger Woods and his achievements as those who were alive and old enough to witness or listen to baseball games in which Babe Ruth played.

A pitcher (a good one too) that was that pure a hitter. Amazing really.

He’s so good, that for all practical purposes each person in your pool gets Tiger as a gimme pick. You can debate a lot about great players in other sports (Jordan’s ability to travel and foul at will, for example), but when each member of an office pool gets Tiger as a gimme, it says something pure that can’t be approached by a superlative.

I was just about to post those three guys myself. KJ Choi and Justin Leonard round out my five picks.

Padraig’s such a solid player and a good guy to boot.

Why is it the Irish(which I am not) seem to get it and appreciate things for what they are and don’t think they’re better than anyone else?

He and Darren Clarke are always at the top of my root for list.
