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

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.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
