I know who won't win the Masters - and who might

Sergio Garcia will NOT win the Masters. You have to be a good putter to win there.

Phil Mickelson will NOT win the Masters. He’s got some work to do before he wins another tournament, albeit a major.

Gary Player will NOT win the Masters.

Michelle Wie will NOT win the Masters.

Tadd Fujikawa would no doubt win it if he was in the field. But he’s not yet. So he will NOT win the Masters.

An American twenty-something will NOT win the Masters.

I hate picking Tiger to win tournaments for the same reason I didn’t pick the Florida Gators to win the NCAA tournament. What fun is it picking the overwhelming favorite? That’s as spirited of a bet as going against the shooter in craps.

I predicted Geoff Olgilvy would win the U.S. Open (on Saturday night - but no one else was talking about him), and I’m going to let it ride and go with Olgilvy again. I think this is the year of the foreigners mopping up the majors and he’s a better putter and a better dresser than Sergio.

Of course if Woods wins, all bets are pushed.

Sanjaya Malakar will NOT win the Masters. That is, until it's decided by popular vote, in the year 2012.

If I learned only one thing from March Madness, it is this: A Duke University graduate will NOT win the Masters.

Awww....go ahead and pick Tiger. Who else is more fun to watch on Sunday shooting for a championship? Also, until Florida (or any other school in March Madness) has to play and beat every other school in the field, your analogy falls a bit short.

Irish Eyes,

Like it or not, it's just not Duke's year.

Ogilvy completely relinquished "better dresser than Sergio" when he wore those awful gold shoes and frat-tucked golf-shirt, tucked-in only in the very front to show off his belt buckle
