If Tiger stays healthy, and is able to get rounds in, he can never be counted out at Augusta. That's the one course he can shoot under par in his sleep

He better hope Spieth and Rory have off weeks. I think Tiger will regain something close to his 2013 form, but even that is not at the level of Jordan and Rory....more so Jordan right now.

I voted Spieth, with Day just behind IMO. I'm still not convinced Rory is comfortable at Augusta. His talent allows him to compete there but he'll need his putting to show up in a big way which it hasn't so far.

I think he got comfortable those last two days. Something clicked on that back 9 Friday. He played the last 45 holes in 14-under par. I thought coming in rusty hurt him more than anything and was the reason he got off to a bad start

In the minority here, I'm going to go with Jason Day. I think he'll have a top five. Spieth with a top ten, Rory with a top 25. Yall heard it here first ;-).

Jordan has an exceptional record at the Masters.  Of course, he's only played the Masters twice so far but he was T2 (after holding the lead for awhile) in 2014 and won the thing in 2015.  Not bad.  Something about Augusta seems to suit Spieth, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins again.  Wouldn't THAT be something!!

i think Spieth is the safest bet because he is the best putter in the world right now.

He won 5 times in 2013, I think he would be right there with the best young guns out there if he regained that form, I believe Tiger has one more surge of great playing in him, I guess the biggest question is how long can he maintain a high level in his 40's.

    • I too, like @GolfLug, remember great wedge, iron shots, or my missed putts, more than my made putts. My most memorable recently, would be: #17 Old Course St. Andrews (last year) I had been putting awful all day (I started 3 putt, 4 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt), but found a putting stroke on the back 9 and was 1 under on the back going into 16 and of course I 3-putted it for a bogey. Got to 17 and my playing partner just hit it into the hotel, so I went a little more left and decided to not try and hit it over the hotel.  And as soon as my ball was in the air, I heard one of the other caddies do the chicken noise.  LOL My shot was a little more left than I wanted, about 185 yards, I hit a 6-iron and it was drawing right at the flag.  The pin was just to the right of he bunker and towards the front of the green. My ball hit short (and just missed going into said bunker) and stopped about 15 feet left of the hole. Had a little left to right break and as soon as I hit it, I knew it was in.  Birdie on the road hole, looked at the caddie and said not bad for a Chicken.  Parred 18 (missed 10 foot birdie putt) for a 35 on the back 9 at the Old Course. #18 Springfield G&CC Last year while playing in our season long match play event, my partner and I get the 18th hole needing to win the match to move on into the knockout round.  We are tied going into 18.  A tie and we lose on overall points by .5.  Our teaching pro is on the other team (very good golfer), so we were pretty sure we needed a birdie to have a chance to win the match, I hit on of the best drives I hit all day and had about 135 yards to the pin, but it was in a place where you didn't really want to be long.  So I hit a PW and it landed just short of the flag but released about 12 feet past the hole, so have a devilish putt coming back down the hill.  Our competitors were away and the pro missed his birdie putt by inches, I thought it was in when he hit it.  So after reading the putt, which probably had a 2 cup left to right break, I made the putt to win the match.   #15 Springfield G&CC A few years back, was playing in the first round of the Club Championship (against the previous years runner-up) and my putter was balky all day.  Got to the 15 hole, 2nd Par 5 on back, and was 3-down with 4 to play.  We both hit good drives, both hit good second shots and we both hit decent 3rd shots.  I was about 15 feet and he was just a hair longer.  He missed his putt, I had another slider putt down the hill, with about a foot of right to left break and made the putt.  I birded the next hole, to go 1 down, but not a memorable putt as I only needed a bogey to beat him on that hole, he had all kinds of issues going on.  Lost on 17, as he birdied it, right after I missed mine to lose 2&1.

    • Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.
