Masters:  Jordan Spieth defends!

U.S. Open:  Angel Cabrera - because he's an annoying a-hole. :-P

British Open:  Jason Day - because he's awesome.

PGA Championship:  Rickie Fowler - Because that's where all of the people who take a little time to win their first major seem to start

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

The Majors? Spieth Slam. All 4 in one calendar year.

The Olympics (which someone else mentioned here, earlier)? Who cares? Should be amateurs, as with boxing.

Masters: Jordan Spieth.  This may be my default Augusta pick for the next decade.

U.S. Open: Jason Day.  Oakmont has arguably the most impressive list of winners of any multi-time major venue, as it takes a great to master this beast.  As such, I'll predict another of the big three to win it.

British Open: Todd Hamilton repeat!....well, I won't make that big a leap, but I'll still stretch a bit to predict Lee Westwood finally nabs his major.

PGA Championship: Louis Oosthuizen, I just have a feeling he'll rise up and finally grab another major.

Bonus predictions: Phil Mickelson will record another second-place finish in a major this year.

Haha, well, at least I got my bonus prediction correct!  (And Spieth should've won the Masters had he not lost his mind for two holes.) 

Lots of missed picks here, as you might expect since almost everyone had Spieth, Day, McIlroy grabbing at least a couple of the four.  But, kudos to...

Thrash13 for predicting Johnson at the US Open

Partial credit to...
* Pendragon for picking WIllett to win a major, though it was the British and not the Masters
* Saevel25 picked DJ to win the British, not the US Open.
* TheBogeyMan and Wally Fairway each picked Johnson and Stenson to win 'a' major, not specifying which.

    • Day 185 - 2025-04-03 Had a good 2.5 hour session at Golf Evolution. Kinda glad it was still wet and windy out today as I wouldn't have gotten such a good session in if I played. Got up to 93 MPH (with a pause) on my 6I and 130 MPH ball speed (on a different slightly slower hit, a bit more de-lofted than I'll want eventually).
    • I'm highly probable for the entire weekend, thanks for doing the hard work to set it up.  I can't wait for more details.
    • I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future. 
    • I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!    
    • Looking forward to this movie, it checks all the boxes for me. Indie Movie True Story Cast is all great character actors Walton Goggins! No Whammies!!!!!!!!!
