I say Adam Scott...this dude is way overdue....Ernie Els has finished second to him 7 times....can you imagine someone winning the British or PGA and having an asterick put next to their name stating winner but no Tiger enterred....

Sergio has to win the British this year. I really think this is the big chance.

Really there is two ways of looking at it. One is everybody benefits because the best golfer in the world is not competing making it much, much easier on everyone else. The second angle is it hurts them in a way. I'm not talking about ratings because I'm sure most don't really care if the ratings are lower for a few months. I'm talking about the fact that you know that anyone who wins a major with Tiger not in the field will get asked the question "Do you think the major isn't as earned or doesn't carry as much value with the worlds top player not in action?" You know it's going to piss someone off too if it's their first major title and people are discrediting it a bit because Tiger Woods wasn't there.

So it goes both ways. Makes it easier to win for everyone, but makes the win less credible to the fans.

Easy answer..... Railbird. Without Tiger around he'll save at least 100 units over the next two majors. And 10 units at $5 a unit is a week's worth of wages for ole Rail.

Unless we are assuming different people react to Tiger by different amounts (which is probably technically true), #2 is now #1

how hard is this question really?

Without Tiger for the rest of the year, I don't think we are going to see one golfer benefit or dominate the rest of the year.

#2 to #100 are so close to each other that I wouldn't be suprised if we didn't have a repeat winner from now to the rest of the year.

I think someone like Hendrik Stenson or another European Tour player could win the British.

VD, nice round.
