I'm leaning toward No, but this poll will expire long before all the results are in!

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

If that was the case, you'd just say "Tiger" (if you wanted to limit it to semi-active players) or "Jack"...

Given his two close calls last year, I have to go with Dustin Johnson. I'd love to see him or Watney close one out. I don't see the group even coming close to Tiger either.

Of the guys on the list, Dustin Johnson and Nick Watney will likely be the most popular choices, but I think Keegan Bradley has a chance to be great.  He has a good swing, seems to handle pressure, and has the family support structure to do very well.

Looks like nobody is considering AK anymore.  My vote was down to AK, DJ and Watney.  Went with DJ.  He has the ability but may not have the intelligence and mental toughness to put it together every major.  But those things apply to Phil, IMO, and he has won 4.

So far you're in the lead.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I personally think Keegan Bradley is going to win more majors than anyone on the poll list. He hits it long, plays smart golf, and performs well under pressure. Two wins in his PGA rookie season, including a major!

His play at the PGA Championship proved himself to me. When Keegan and Jason Dufner were in the playoff, specifically. Third hole of playoff, #18, 200 yards over the water for an approach shot for Keegan. I figured he would lay up, make par, and still win. Instead he does not back down and made a hell of a shot to about 17 feet. Dufner had no choice but to go for the green, over the water at around 200 yards then.

It will be an interesting next few years to see what develops in the majors.

That was so awesome! I think he had brass balls for playing it like that.

Still voted for Nick Watney.

No.

Dustin Johnson was my pick out of the guys on that list and no way Dustin, or anyone else on that list, will come CLOSE to Tiger.

14 Majors, 71 wins?  Hmm....good luck.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
