Arguably the biggest event in golf is this weekend. It's the Masters. Being originally from Augusta, Ga, I've been to the Masters several times, and it's certainly worth going if you get the opportunity.

Tiger Woods returns to competitive golf, after an "ahem" difficult time away. Ernie Els is playing his best golf in years and Phil Mickelson is always one to keep an eye on. Who are the top 10 contenders in this year's Masters?
1. Ernie Els I wouldn't call Ernie Els an overwhelming favorite. The field is as wide open as it's been in over a decade, but Els seems to have found his game again. He won twice in March with wins at the WGC-CA Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

We know he can play at Augusta National. He had five consecutive top-six finishes from 2000-2004. If he doesn't put to much pressure on himself, which Els has a tendency to do, he'll contend because the game is there. Odds of winning: 4 to 1
2. Anthony Kim Anthony Kim is so close to becoming the next great American player. He held off Vaughn Taylor in a playoff to win this week's Shell Houston Open. Kim is a confident player, and I like players who come into the majors playing well. Last year he set the record for 11 birdies in a round at the Masters. He has a great shot at the title this year. Odds of winning: 6 to 1
3. Phil Mickelson Mickelson has a sterling record at Augusta National. Since 1999 he's finished outside the top-10 just one time, and is a two-time Masters winner. He hasn't played particularly well this year, with only one top-10 finish, but Augusta seems to cure any ills Mickelson has with his game. Odds of winning: 8 to 1
4. Lee Westwood Most people say Sergio Garcia is the best player in the world never to win a major; I think it might be either Lee Westwood or Steve Stricker. He's placed third at the BritishOpen and PGA Championship last year, so he's come close recently. Westwood is playing well too.

He's had two to...
