Picking winners in golf is one of the hardest guessing games in sports. It’s harder in a Tiger-less tournament—harder still over just 18 holes where anything can happen. If you don't believe that, just ask Nick O'Hern who beat Tiger Woods in the 2007 Accenture Match Play Championship.

 

Someone will win it. The trick is to figure out who. The top 28 in the world are in Tucson. With Tiger (No. 1) and Phil (No. 3) both passing this week, it opens the door for someone else to take home a fat check.

2. Ryo over Sim, no matter how well Sim has played. Ryo was the star of the non- Americans in the Presidents Cup, and he likes the moment.

3. Karlsson over Sabbitini.

4. Fisher over Jaidee. Fisher has been showing up on leader boards in majors, and that counts.

5. Paddy over Jeeve

6. Kuchar over Kim. Anthony still seems to be on vacation.

7. Ian over Justin. Ian selects special outfits for each day. Don't you love the purple ...
