Sort of on the Tour thread...
Who are some "guaranteed" future winners on the Tour? Either guys playing one of the tours or some local kids/guys who you feel will make the big show and do well....
My pick--a local kid named Brian Harmon. If you follow golf a lot, you will have heard his name. If you follow it a little, you WILL at some point come to know his name. Won USGA Jr. Am. a couple of years ago. He was just named to the Walker Cup team. Youngest American ever on the team. He is one to watch.

The first name that comes to mind in Ryan Moore. He had a super amatuer record. And there are a couple fo guys on the Nationwide Tour that look like winners they are:

Chris Couch - He did very good at the Booz Allen Classic before fading on the weekend. He is currently the money leader in the Nationwide Tour

Troy Matteson - A very consistent player and a long hitter.

Also it will be interesting to see how Jason Gore fininshes the year on the Nationwide Tour. He has back to back wins. His U.S Open performance may have given him the confidence he needs to be a winner.

I'm not ready to say Ryan Moore will be succesfful. And the reason I say that is because I've seen too many young phenoms get hyped up and then not succeed. Now one day they may, but so far they haven't. Names like Matt Kuchar, Ty Tryon, Ricky Barnes, Jeff Quinlan, Hank Kuehne. Not saying they're not good golfers, just saying they haven't lived up to expectations. You can even put Charles Howell III sorta on that list.

Chris Couch depends so much on confidence, and if he gets off to a bad start like last year on the pGA, he will struggle like he did then.
