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

No, not even close. There are no more than a handful of guys on that list I see even winning one major.

Isn't the obvious answer "Other" (Phil Mickelson)?

I doubt any of these guys will win 4+.

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.

No, they will not come close to Tiger!

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.

    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
