After winning 3 tournaments already this year, Tiger Woods does look a good bet - and the bookies agree, making him favourite at the low odds of 4/1.
But I think this could be the year that we see the first European victor since J M Olazabal in 1999. Last year, Westwood, Poulter, Rose, Hanson and Harrington all finished in the top 10, with McDowell and Garcia not far behind. Rory McIlroy finished well last weekend, so has now found his way around those new clubs in time for the big events which he favours.
It's time for our Ryder Cup players to add to the Green Jackets won by Seve Ballesteros, Faldo, Woosnam, Langer, Lyle and Olazabal in the 80's and 90's ..... arise Sir Ian, perhaps?
