Before all is said and done, which of the American players listed here will win the most Major Championships?

Followup question: Will all of their resumes added together surpass that of Tiger Woods - simple yes or no answer.

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.


Yes.

:tmade: SLDR X-Stiff 12.5°
:nike:VRS Covert 3 Wood Stiff
:nike:VRS Covert 3 Hybrid Stiff
:nike:VR Pro Combo CB 4 - PW Stiff 2° Flat
:cleveland:588RTX CB 50.10 GW
:cleveland:588RTX CB 54.10 SW
:nike:VR V-Rev 60.8 LW
:nike:Method 002 Putter


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.

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!

BO THE GOLFER

In my Top Flite stand bag:

Driver-Ping G400+ 10.5 degrees regular flex Hybrids-Ping I25 17 & 20 degrees stiff flex Irons-Ping I3 O-size 4 through lob wedge regular flex Putter-Nike Oz 6


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.
