That's a very good question because I cannot come up with 5 players.
A few of my favorites have slipped a little like V.J. Singh, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Couples, Davis Love; they just don't have the mojo anymore.

Geoff Ogilvy I like to watch
Bubba Watson is fun

2009 Burner R
FT-I Fusion Squareway 3W 15* Fujikura Speeder Fit-On R
5W R7 R
FT Fusion Hybrids Draw 3/21*, 4/24*
G5 5-PW X-forged Vintage: 52.12, 56.14MDScotty Cameron: Newport 2 ProV1

Luke Donald (love that swing)

Vijay Singh (love that tempo)

I always end up with some free time on Saturday and Sunday so I watch some of just about every tournament.
I don't care if Tiger is in the field because, well, I'm getting sort of bored with his greatness.
I want to see some competition.

The guys I really root for are not generally on the "telly" on weekends: Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Joe Ogilvie, Jerry Kelly, Tommy Armour III

Best, Mike Elzey

In my bag:
Driver: Cleveland Launcher 10.5 stiff
Woods: Ping ISI 3 and 5 - metal stiffIrons: Ping ISI 4-GW - metal stiffSand Wedges: 1987 Staff, 1987 R-90Putter: two ball - black bladeBall: NXT Tour"I think what I said is right but maybe not.""If you know so much, why are you...

1. Geoff Ogilvy (my favorite golfer)
2. Phil Mickelson (always makes it close)
3. Tiger Woods (all-time best golfer in my opinion)
4. Sergio Garcia (tanks his drives, plus it's fun watching him get frustrated by his putting)
5. Luke Donald (smoothest swing, and he's got my first name )

I'm so addicted to golf that I could care less who is in the field. There are so many players to learn from: Kenny Perry proving that consistency will provide you with a lucrative career, Jerry Kelly and his humor, Mike Weir always playing to his strengths. If I only had to choose five, it would be:

Woody Austin
Boo Weekley
Paul Casey
KJ Choi
Phil Mickelson

Titleist 905T Accra SC75 M4 Shaft

Nike SQ 4W Accra T70 M4 Shaft
HB001 17* Hybrid with Mitsubishi Diamana Thump X Stiff Flex
Baffler Pro 20* Accra Axiv 105 Tour Hybrid Shaft

Taylor Made 24* Burner Accra Axiv 105 Tour Hybrid Shaft

Mizuno MP-32 5-PW Black Oxide Finish Project X 6.0 Shafts

Vokey 52* Oil Can Finish TTDG S400 Shaft

Cleveland 588 60* TTDG S400 Shaft

Rife Bimini Blade Putter
