I really don't see Tiger winning them all even after the great start he is having . That would be a hard thing to do and if anyone could do it Tiger could but I don't think it will happen . I am predicting he will win 2 out of 4 . Maybe something like this ...........
The Masters : Phil Mickelson (Former champion , great short game , hitting the driver well this year)
U.S. Open : Tiger Woods (Great track record at Torrey Pines)
British : Tiger Woods (I see Tiger using 2 iron and 3 wood and a great shortgame)
PGA : Adam Scott (Solid player who will win a major someday and I feel that this year he will)

I like those picks. I think Adam Scott is still a long shot in a major, though. He's one of the many that just need that break through.
I think Tiger will win 2 at minimum. He's on a tear of late. I'm going to agree with him winning the US Open and the British, and I'll add the PGA as well. As for the Masters, I'm going to pick Tiger as the favorite and predict a longer shot... Ernie... Rory... Verplank... something like Zach Johnson winning last year.
I think the biggest question for Tiger is his putter. It seems like no matter how the rest of hit game is, when he's dropping almost everything from 30 ft in, almost impossible to beat.
My dark horse is Andres Romero. When he's on he can play with anyone. I don't think he has a chance at the Masters unless it's wet. He's too aggressive if the greens are anything like last year.
Masters - Tiger
US Open - Choi
British - Sergio
PGA - Tiger
I am going with 2 long shots (basically anyone not named Tiger is a long shot). I think the Masters is his tournament to lose and his play is right on. The PGA is nothing more than a typical Tour event, so you can give that one to Tiger right now. The US Open and British Open will be the closest and I am hoping someone can rise to Tiger and play to the end.
It won't be Ernie or Phil, because they simply do not do well against TW when they are close or he is close. I would have liked to list Rose, but Merlin added him to the list. He is ready to win a major.
Tiger for the sweep. There are numerous others that certainly have chances but most all have not shown a consistency to be able to maintain for four days on tough venues. I think Phil may get possibly a couple of top 5's but don't see him winning. Badds might have a chance at the US Open with his putting as long as he can control his driver. Still too early to tell perhaps even Stenson at the Open for a slim chance as well. Tigers driving is getting better and his putting has been great so unless something happens to change that trend I don't see anyone beating him in any of the four.
I don't know about anyone else, but I love to see the longer shots win the majors. Angel Cabrera's US Open, Geoff Ogilvy's US Open, Zach Johnson's Masters... those are the tourneys I enjoyed the most.
I used to be a huge Ernie fan, and the Masters where he lost out to Phil and the British that Todd Hamilton won were fun to watch for me... I just didn't like the outcomes.
I think the Masters is my favorite Major as far as watching on television. The same great course every year with television memories from years before and so many consecutive years of major heritage. The US and British are tied for 2nd... the PGA is my least favorite. I think the PGA should be the first of the season, personally... just a primer for the other 3. Usually by that point in the year, my interest in televised pro golf is on the decline.
