Next Year's Major Winners Prediction

Who would people like to see win a major rather than who do they think will win them?

I imagine youd be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldnt want Westie to win one. Personally, I think Jimenez would be a great champion, comes across as a character.

And any Brit to win at Augusta would be class
 
Masters - Woods
US Open - Woods
The Open - Woods
USPGA - Woods


As much as i would like to see McIlroy and Westwood win a major, i think both suffer from a suspect short game. I expect the biggest challenge to come from Kaymer and McDowell.
 
Masters : Tiger Woods
US Open : Dustin Johnson
The Open: Tiger Woods
USPGA : Bubba Watson

I would love Jiminez to win a major as he just seems an all round good bloke and entertainer. Paul Casey, but he does seem a bottler. Westwood deserves one but sadly may end up being like Monty only nicer.
 
Oh dear. Have we learned nothing from last year? Who would have predicted anyone other than Phil's win at the Masters?

Reckon it'll be another 3 unpredictables next year.

Masters; Woods
US Open; Francesco Molinari (if he sorts his short putts)
Open; Poults
USPGA; Rickie Fowler
 
Westwood will never win a US Open. His chipping is not good enough for the heavy rough when he misses the greens. He'll contend because he's a damn fine player but wont win IMO

from my recollection he has also been let down on the last round of recent majors by the part of his game that is usually regarded as his best, his driving. :D
As with his short game he is not great at manufacturing escape shots like some other players are when he misses the fairway.
Saying that I would still like to see him win one.

Young McIlroy needs to take a deep breath before he takes a putt just to gather himself, also after he has played a bad one as this weeks Nevada Challenge has shown. ;)
 
So many predictions, but has any one got the conviction to back them up with money at the bookies? ;)

I've going to get some dosh on Drawboy being done for indecent exposure before Westwood retires!

PS I'm also progamming my satnav to avoid all Debenhams in the Leeds area.
 
Dont know which ones but I think Woods for two of them and Westwood and McIlroy will share the other two.
And yes I will have the bookies ticket to back it up (mind only 2 bob each way :eek: ;))
 
I'd like to see Tiger win them all but failing that I reckon McIlroy, Furyk, Tiger and Eduardo Molinari will be the 4 winners, not sure about which order though.
 
MASTERS :- Poulter

US OPEN :- Tiger

THE OPEN :- Donald

USPGA :- Kutcher
 
3 of them will by won by guys I have never heard of. I include Oosterhuis in that, as I can't even spell it.

The other one will be won by Woods.
