Who ya got THP, and why?

- The Masters Tournament, Augusta National, April 9-12
- PGA Championship, TPC Harding Park, May 14-17
- U.S. Open, Winged Foot, June 18-21
- The Open Championship, Royal St. George’s, July 16-19

Here's my picks:
- Masters: Rory McIlroy
Despite not winning a major in 2019, Rory arguably had the best season of his career. Listening to his podcast, he seems to have a different mindset lately and will finally get the "monkey off his back" this April.
- PGA Championship: Tiger Woods
In order to catch Jack, he needs to start winning at least one major a year, right? Actually, if we go back to the 2009 Presidents Cup, Tiger went 5-0 at TPC Harding Park and I think he'll find success here again.
- U.S. Open: Jon Rahm
This kid is just too talented to not have a Major. He finished T3 in the 2019 US Open and 2019 European Tour Race to Dubai Champion. I can see him having a monster 2020 season.
- Open Championship: Tommy Fleetwood
T2 finish in the 2019 Open Championship, runner up in the 2019 Race to Dubai and a contender in the majors over the past two years. The Claret Jug returns to an Englishman for the first time since 1992 (Sir Nick Faldo).
 
I’m just going to say Tiger in all 4.

Why? He’s the best golfer (IMO) to ever walk the planet.
 
Masters - Justin Thomas
PGA - Rory McIlroy
US Open - Xander Schauffle
Open Championship - Matthew Fitzpatrick
 
Masters - Tiger
PGA - Brooks
US Open - Brooks
Open Championship - Fleetwood
 
Really hard to pick this kind of stuff. I will say I think Tiger and JT get at least one between them and maybe one each.
 
Masters = Rory
PGA = Xander
US Open = In a crazy twist of fate in the making since 2006 @ Winged Foot, Phil finally wins the career grand slam.....at Winged Foot.
The Open = Rahm
 
Masters - Rory
PGA - Brooks
US Open - Brooks
The Open - Tiger
 
I really wanted to pick Koepka but I'm afraid that knee injury might be lingering in 2020
 
Tiger. Grand slam.
 
Masters - Tiger
PGA - Tiger
US Open - Dustin Johnson
Open Championship - Tommy Fleetwood

British Open - Xander
 
Masters: JT
PGA: DJ
US Open: Rose
British Open: Rory

Phil gets redemption and the Major Slam at Winged Foot.... that would be awesome!!
 
Masters - Tiger
PGA - Rickie
US Open - Rickie
The Open - Tiger

I am hedging but I am certain both players will win a major next year.
 
Masters: Adam Scott
PGA: Im
US Open: JT
Open: Tiger
 
I think it will be a year of a lot of first time winners. Who? No idea, but I think 3 of 4 will be first times.
 
Here are my picks

PGA - Hovland
Master - Rory
US Open - Rose
Open - Scott

My dark horse for any of these is Bryson D.

I would be fully on board for this, although I'm kind of over the Phil for US Open push. Maybe give it to Finau. That'd be fun.
 
Rory has his mind in a very good state and I say LOOK OUT! He's a Bad Ass..
No doubt Tiger is going to have to be dealt with in all four.
Xander is due!
Rickie is due, so close. hope for break through from him.
Fleetwood always in the mix, he's due.
Justin Thomas gets on roll, he's a lock.

Phil is Toast, there fixed it for you...

Open Championship - Thomas
 
Masters - Jon Rahm
PGA Championship - Brooks Koepka
US Open - Rory Mcilroy
Open Championship - Dustin Johnson
 
Masters - Justin Thomas

Open - Rory
 
- Masters: Tiger Woods
I mean why not?
- PGA Championship: Tiger Woods
As you said he dominated here back in the day - my only concern could be weather and time of year with the 44 year old bod. I think Tommy Fleetwood would be my fall back pick.
- U.S. Open: Phil Mickelson
The story writes itself - wouldn’t mind if Phil got the Slam
- Open Championship: Cameron Smith - dude is a baller usually places well in the Majors the last couple of years.

-Olympics Brooks Koepka
Can’t forget about the 5th major this year, he gets up for all the big ones, what’s bigger than this?
