2010 Masters

This year's Masters is more like an edition of a soap opera than the great sports event that it is supposed to be.

No, instead of wondering who will capture the coveted Green Jacket, we are being subjected to round after round of the trials of Tiger.

The only question that has not been asked this week is "Who is Tiger sneaking away with this week?" And, really WHO CARES!!

Tiger Woods acts like he is royalty and the media and the fans let him away with it. That is the disgusting part.

Sure Tiger is a great golfer, but who cares about his personal life. I really don't want to be part of Tiger's cleansing process. If his wife leaves him "OH, well", life does go on.

Let's get back to what is important. Who is going to win the Masters, not Tiger Woods' lust life.

So, "Who is going to win the Masters?" Personally, I like three golfers, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk and Ian Poulter. Why? Els and Furyk have been "lights out great" the past month. Poulter won the Match Play and he always seems to shine in the big events. Now that he has "big time" title under his belt, he just might have the toughness get him past the field and win on Sunday.

Fred Couples is a sentimental choice. If you count his Champions tour titles this year has been the best golfer on the planet in 2010.

Let's hope Tiger misses the cut (it will give him a couple days to check out the hotties in the Augusta red light area). It will also force the media to focus on what really matters -- GOLF!
