Here is my preseason analysis (and my confidence %):
Tiger Woods wins more championships than anyone else in the PGA. 99.9999%
Lorena Ochoa is #1 in the LPGA throughout 2008. 99.9998%
Tiger Woods wins 1 Major. 99.9997%
Tiger Woods wins 2,3, or 4 Major Championships. 99.9996%
Tiger Woods wins the FedEx Cup, and it goes unkissed through year 2. 98%
Michelle Wie is injured at some point in the year. 90%
Natalie Gulbis and Fred Couples will both win at least one tourney each. (70% confident one will win, 100% hopeful both will win)
Michelle Wie will not win a tourney this year. 60%
Oh, and two more:
Rory Sabatini will say something stupid – 100%
Phil Mickelson will do something stupid to throw away a championship on Sunday afternoon – 75%
Tiger wins the Masters: 50%
Tiger wins the US Open: 100% (its at Torry Pines, a course he has absolutely OWNED)
Tiger wins the Open Championship: 50% – its only his second appearance at Royal Birkdale. In 1998 he finished third.
Tiger wins the PGA Championship: 25% – Tiger has neverot played well at Oakland Hills. He finished 82nd defending there as reigning US Amateur Champion. Then there was the Ryder Cup … he played ok, but not dominating.
