Way Too Early 2010 PGA Tour Predictions Thread

Kim with 3 wins? I'd disagree with that. He parties too much and is over aggressive. And Goydos is a choke artist, so I don't see him winning a tournament. I think T. Clark is taking down the Masters this year. Just a feelin.

Robert Allenby, is that you? Let your beef with Kim go, man: I said you'd win Bay Hill! And I didn't forget Stricker: look at my prediction for Houston.

tiger's due for a masters, it's been a few years. he's also due for a us open. everybody knows tiger never loses at the old course. and tiger will be so pissed off from losing this years pga championship that he blows away the field in a double digit stroke victory. the rest is just details.

7/29-8/1: Greenbrier Classic, White Sulphur Springs, WV: Bubba Watson, 260 (-20)

Just wanted to offer some insight here. I grew up on this course and learned to play golf on "Ol' Whitey". While the yardage is short at 6800 yards, (I think it was even shorter 12 years ago) I don't think you'll see someone like Bubba win. Reason being, this a shot makers course, not a bombers venue. In many ways, it reminds me of the way Augusta used to be... catering more to guys who have better course management and strong putting rather than the most distance.

Therefore, I think this tourney has Steve Stricker written all over it! Look out because I think the Greenbrier could end up being a favorite on the PGA for a long time to come if they decide to have it as a regular stop.

I was thinking the exact opposite on Greenbrier. When the Old White course was restored to better resemble the original C.B. Macdonald design, they made fairways wider, greens larger, and cleared a lot of trees. At only 6,800 yards, and not particularly exacting off the tee, I'm betting the Greenbrier may be too short to put up a defense against the bomb-and-gougers. I could very well be wrong, though.

I didn't realize they had made fairway and green changes. In that case you may be right. A longer player should tear it up.

Tiger's infidelities pretty much ruined my 2010 predictions well before the season ever began, but give me credit for one thing thus far: I nailed the Honda Classic.
