Just want to get what everyone else is thinking. I want to say 2...Hard to imagine him coming up short this year though.

Yeah I feel he is still readjusting to it all. Maybe got a little of his mind on his new "cub" in the family. If anything I give him at least one.

2004 State Drive, Chip and Putt Champion
2005 Northern Iowa Player Of The Year
2006 Iowa Girl's Golf 2A Individual State Champion
2007 Iowa Co-Ed Golf State Champion
2007 State Drive, Chip and Putt Champion2008 Iowa Girl's Golf 2A Individual State Champion2009 College Division Iowa Junior Tour...


What? Four isn't an option?

Oh, right... no amount of birdies turn back time.

I can see him winning one. If he wins the U.S. Open, it won't be a surprise. What I'd like to know is when the last time someone won two U.S. Opens consecutively at the same course ... but that's not phrased right. What I mean is winning it at course X, then winning it again the next time it is hosted at course X. Similar for the other two course-rotating majors. Clearly we know for the Masters that any back-to-back winner won it twice on the same course.

And if he doesn't win either Open, it will only add to his determination at the PGA. How many times in the 21st century has he gone a year without a major? Once?

But, 1 if he is lucky enough to get that is all..

Yes because golf is a game of luck.

So far I haven't seen anything to convince me that he'll win any this year.

I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if he won one, but if I have to bet right now, I'd have to say none.

I would say he will win 1 maybe the us open.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.


I voted for just one this year. If he wins the U.S. Open though, you better believe I'm going to have re-think my vote.

I can't believe I'm saying this but ZERO. Since Tiger has been gone a lot of players have really steeped up there game. There are a lot of very good players out there right now.

Yes because golf is a game of luck.

Golf has a lot of luck involved..

You think Angel Cabrera hitting a tree and deflecting out into the fairway wasn't luck on that 1st playoff hole? Come on.. luck is a factor in golf..

Yes because golf is a game of luck.

Actually luck is a big, and good, part of the game

But one is my guess!

Titleist 907 ; D1
Titleist 695cb ; 3-PW
Titleist Vokey Spin Milled ; 56*
Scotty Cameron ; Red-X
Titleist Ball ; Pro V1Age ; 16


I'll agree with the majority one, but would not be greatly surprised if does not win any.

He's still adjusting to his comeback, and as high as he's set the bar, we the audience and fans should give him that time to adjust. His driver is more wayward (2 way misses), his irons aren't going the "usual" distance, he's streaky where he used to be solid, etc. He'll get better as the year wears on, so I'm betting he wins the PGA. The Masters, US Open and British are too soon in his comeback I think. But win majors he must, else TV golf will become quite boring.

Driver: TaylorMade RocketBallz 10.5-deg
Woods: Cobra Bio Cell+ 3W and 5W

Irons: Srixon XXIO7 from 6 - PW
Wedge: Srixon XXIO7 GW and SW

Putter: Bobby Grace DCT Captiva 34"; Ball: Sirxon Soft Feel; Shoes: Footjoy


the correct answer, of course, is zero.

and that's my bet, too.

I think I said none. AmenCorner said Tiger would win the PGA champs by a margin but he did not.

I don't think that Tiger will win that much next year either, of course he will come close but i don't think he will actually win any majors. There are too many emerging players who are not worried about Tiger and hit it longer than him and have short game prowess.
