#1 Posted: 4/3/2012 6:31:13 AM Is it just me, or is this overall a pretty weak field of golfers shooting for the green coat?
Does Tiger win by default?
Maybe I'm wrong, let's see how it plays out. It seems like most of these entries are not ready for primetime players. |

Same as previous years but those who can beat Tiger are not playing all that well, and the oldtimers that used to make a run at him are now just tooooooooo old. Couples, Goosen, Love III etc it just won't happen. Even Mickelson playing in last weeks event is an indication he doesn't think it will happen in Georgia. Now I am reading Dustin Johnson is on the shelf. He was one of the few that could have made a run. Weak Field Amigo  |

Mahan Donald McIlroy Rose Adam Scott Westwood Tiger Lefty Bradley Kaymar Schwartzel Watson
Even Cabrera made a bunch of birdies this last week.
Maybe some aren't playing that great, but they are great players. |

now we're talking,  include hotdamm in HutchEmAll's list and we have a wide open tournament. Otherwise aside from Scott and McIlroy, the rest are toast.

Well, who are you losing your money on since the field is deep and your getting generous odds????
It's Tiger vs the field I would have to guess. |

Gotta disagree amigo.........this is a great field & most are playing pretty well right now..........I'll be watching every minute of it.

#14 Posted: 4/3/2012 9:41:14 PM  Lotsa' young Ryder Cuppers n long hitters. I like the field. The crowd seems jacked up n full of energy more so this year. Should be fun.

#18 Posted: 4/5/2012 1:25:25 PM I'll take Mickelson to win this. Saw him a few times this year and it looks like he's in the best physical condition I've seen him in a long, long time. Maybe he knows that time is running out for him. He's in his 40's now. 
I don't think he's teed off yet so , I'm not making this prediction after it started. |

You have 96 players in the field.
50 of the best in the world. Another 10 who can play. And another 36 who should not be playing this event. Players like Larry Mize, Ben Crenshaw, Mark O'Meara, Ian Woosnam, ect. ect. all the former champions who can play for life (or until they get to the point where they cant at least compete) also you have the Mid-Am champ, Asian Am champ, ect.
So no the field is not what you would see on the PGA tour, but you cant really say it is weak either since you do have the 50 top players in the world all in one event. |

I think its a shame that Ernie Els isn't there... 
They need to get this garbage straight....I mean Dustin Johnson had to withdraw a a few days before the start of the tourney. The least they could of done was give Ernie a call and flown his behind to Augusta National IMO.
