Early 2008 PGA/LPGA Season Predictions

[fundonny]

I think 2008 will see Hunter Mahan win a big tournament, perhaps a major or the Players Championship, for his breakthrough year.
Other Predictions:
-Woods and Mickelson will win one major each.
-Mike Weir will win two tournaments this year.
-Annika will return to form and win a major.
-Paula Creamer will win LPGA POY and the money title.
-Vijay and Furyk will go without a win

[big mac]

I'm already looking forward to it:

Tiger--2 majors and a bunch of minors----again.
Phil--a couple of minors
Mikey--a couple of minors
Annika--I think she has peaked but will win
Paula--all the way--older and starting to mature
Michelle--still too young
Jim--will win one
VJ--toss-up
Young Guns--on the PJA--watch for a few surprises--somebody has to start looking like they can replace Tiger in about 10 years

I really thought Ogilvy was going to step up last year. He seems to me to have the game and attitude to hang with the big guns, if not actually challenge Tiger.

If Tiger can come out of the gate putting like he did at the end of this year, he might have his best year ever. He should have won both the Masters and the US Open, he just couldn't get anything to drop. Based on the last couple years though, he doesn't seem to putt well to start the year.

• Tiger will win POY, money title and the Vardon to go with his 2 majors and 11 overall wins.
• Henrik Stenson will be a multiple winner on tour
• Phil will continue to be inconsistent with only 2 wins
• Daily will earn his tour card back
• I will beat Indio in a Match Play Challenge

[Kilroy]

FedEx will throw another 10 mill Tiger's way, eventually.

He'll need that when he retires.

[Indio]

-Woods and Mickelson will win one major each.
-Mike Weir will win two tournaments this year.
-Annika will return to form and win a major.
-Paula Creamer will win LPGA POY and the money title.
-Vijay and Furyk will go without a win

- Tiger will win 2 maybe 3 majors this year
- Lefty won't win a major and I don't even believe he will win a tournament
- Unfortunately Annika won't make it back because of the young guns, they will prove to be too much for her
- I agree with Paula and also believe that Ochoa will be right behind her.
- Vijay will win a couple, Furyk will win one.

So you agree that I will beat you in a Match Play event eh? I'll take that as a concession

You guys are clearly forgetting that I should be back for the match play this year, and plan on taking the trophy.

[Kilroy]

The FGL starts when the tour starts up on the week of Jan 1 SillyBoy.

[Kilroy]

Not sure what you mean by "betting", but the prize is for a regular membership and does not include 15 rounds.

Full name and address when registering please. One team per person.

[shortymcduff]

What are your thoughts on Sean O'Hair? He was in it almost every time. Waht about Earnie and is Goosen's goose cooked?

[rezadue]

Tiger will win 6 tournaments , including 1 major.
Vijay will win 3 times
Phil will win a major
Justin Rose will win twice on the PGA tour
Sergio will choke again

[quinner]

Tiger will win 2 majors, 6 tourneys. OH MAN WATCH OUT!!!
Lorena will keep dominating!!
Paula will still be amazingly hot...
and hopefully Ernie won't choke like he did at the Dunhill.

Vijay will win 3 times
Phil will win a major
Justin Rose will win twice on the PGA tour

Justin looks great but on his website'' schedual is shows him playing only 11 Times in the PGA

[EWhelan]

-Tiger wins two majors
-Jim Furyk beats Mike Weir in a playoff to win 3rd Canadian Open
-EWhelan breaks 90

[Indio]

-Tiger wins two majors
-Jim Furyk beats Mike Weir in a playoff to win 3rd Canadian Open
-EWhelan breaks 90

2 out of 3 ain't bad

[quinner]

Sergio will choke again

Isn't this a given?

[Shivas Irons]

Predictions for 2k8

-Aaron Baddely and Lucas glover will both win multiple times.
-Justin Rose will be the #1 ranked Euro by years end.

I like these picks, especially Lucas Glover. I predict this guy is going to be a dominant force on the tour for several years.
Justin Rose seems to have taken his game to the next level so I would expect him to have an excellent year.
I disagree with the Baddely pick, I never thought he was any good, and I don't expect him to improve.
I predict he'll be flipping burgers in a couple of years.

[shortymcduff]

Nickalaus picked Glover for a reason. I think Michelson working with Harmon will really pay off. He will be dominant.

[EWhelan]

I would like to see Fred Couples win a tournament.

[Golfbum]

I would like to see Fred Couples win a tournament.

According to the newspaper article I read online, Freddy is contemplating retirement.

I failed to get my Tour Card, so I know I will not win an event in 2008 on the PGA.

[Indio]

I would like to see Fred Couples win a tournament.

Freddy still has the game as we saw in the recent skins game. Unfortunately his back just doesn't seem to want to heal. I would love to see Freddy out on tour again but as he said in an interview recently, his priorities in life have changed to focus more on family and his body just wouldn't stand up to the test of a rigorus golf schedule.

The good news is he is playing in Tiger's tournament this week
