OK, I'll play this game. 4 guys not named Tiger Woods that will contend this week at Doral in no particular order:

Hunter Mahan- the kid's got game, that's all I can say about that. He was right in it until the very end last week and I expect a lot of the same here this week.

Vijay Singh- the dude straight sucks at putting, but that is all he sucks at. If he putts even mediocre this week he'll be in the top 3 come Sunday.

Jim Furyk- stellar record at Doral and his game is starting to show signs of life, especially at Bay Hill, Furyk gets off the schnide this week and pulls in a top 5 finish.

My pick to win the Non-Tiger flight is Phil Mickelson. He loves Doral and will play great here again this year. Bay Hill he didn't play great, but he didn't really play that bad either, just couldn't get anything really going his way. That'll change this week and Phil is going to win......(the Non-Tiger Flight)

The real trick is figuring out who is winning B-flight, aka second place to Tiger. I'm looking at Imada and Marino, and will feature both on both of my fantasy teams if at all possible (the exception being on Pick 'Em if Tiger is on the same line as one of them).

Isn't that what I said?

Who'd have ever thought we'd need an A and B flight in pro golf?

It is what you said. I just like the term B-flight better, especially since Imada won that at the Buick in January: the first time I heard the term used for the PGA Tour.

OK, I'm with you. The B Flight it is. It does sound better too, actually.

Surely Tiger can't win ANOTHER tournament in a row, I am really rooting for him hope he goes this season undefeated. So obviously he is my pick for Doral but how long can this winning streak last?

Great picks there three putt. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 2 of those 3 in the mix come Sunday.

Geoff Ogilvy is really comming around...
Phil should play well, as long as he gets the putter going...
Jim Furyk is showing signs of life...
Vijay has been right there a couple times...

Tiger... wow... absolutely amazing. I knew he was going to drain that putt, but still was in awe as I watched it roll in. His ability to hit clutch putts seperates him from the rest of the field even more than the World Golf Rankings indicate. His cluch putting ability ranking would be something like...

Tiger Woods 46.21
Next in line 4.54
number 3 4.49

I like Ryuji and Luke.

It is really blowing today...gusting up to 30 mph, it is predicted to be a steady 10-15 tomorrow. South Florida wind in March is not something that is easily predictable. If the wind is up it will add an added dimension to the Blue Monster. That course is hard enough with all of the sand and water, so any wind makes it that much tougher.

Remember that Doral plays short. 4 of the par 4's are under 400--the par 5's are cupcakes. The wind is not supposed to be more than 10 mph this week. Today it is blowing-it will die down. I expect something like 22 under to win this thing. Remember most of the Par 5's are downwind--thats why you see scores over 20 under winning every year

This tournament definitely has blowout written all over it. If the winds are down, Tiger will go really low and probably win by a 3 or 4 shots at least. Hell, he may win by 3 or 4 if the winds are up. It's definitely his to lose. Not only has he dominated at the CA Championship, he has also dominated at Doral.

I expect Phil and Ernie to both play well, but that will fire Tiger up even more. They should both finish in the top 10 but not first. Also keep an eye on Camilo Villegas. He was second at Doral in 2006 and didn't play there last year. He might be in the hunt as well which would be great for the tourney.

O yea-this is exactly his kind of course. Hes gonna be able to hit 3 wood as far as some peoples drives. He will dominate this course with accuracy --he will be able to use the driver more because Doral's fairways are huge-theyre very wide.

Tips for this week?

Harrington is not playing this week. He has opted not to play as be likes to play 3 weeks in a row with the 3rd week being the week he plays best in. If he plays Doral, then The Masters is week 4. He wants to peak at Augusta. I'm hoping GMac breaks into the top 50. Graeme McDowell that is.

WEAPONS:

Graeme Mcdowell is such a great player. He played soo well at Southern Hills....Man can that guy hit irons....i think he will finish in the top 10 this week because he plays well on long courses

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
