    • Rory McIlroy

    • Lee Westwood
    • Justin Rose
    • Ian Poulter
    • Tiger Woods
    • Phil Mickelson
    • Charl Schwartzel

    I've set it up as a poll and you can select more than one. My own selections are based partly on form and partly on wishful thinking.

    Rory * 2
    Tiger
    F Molinari (British Open)

    Charl in with a good shout if he starts of 2013 as he finished last year.

    Would love to see Poulter win one purely for his RC show last year.

    There is always an awkward F4ucker. The alternatives
    • Grace
    • Hanson
    • Lowry (The Open) :p
    • Dufner

    Masters - Justin Rose
    US Open - Rory
    Open - Adam Scott
    USPGA - Dustin Johnson


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,865 ✭✭✭TRS30


    Think Rory will win at least one. Would love to see Luke get one.

    Roll on April, as soon as the New Year comes I start to think about the Masters.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,363 ✭✭✭big_drive


    Rory
    Tiger
    Padraig
    Justin Rose


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,294 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    In no particular order I went for:

    Rory McIlroy
    Justin Rose
    Tiger Woods
    Phil Michelson


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Golfgraffix


    I have a nagging feeling that Poulter will sneak one this year, maybe at Oak Hill for the PGA

    Masters - Louis
    US Open - Tiger
    Open - Rory
    USPGA - Luke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,848 ✭✭✭soundsham


    Masters Westwood or Lowry
    Us Open Luke
    Open Rory or Lowry
    PGA Kaymer

    Where's Ernie in the poll !!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,708 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Rory, Tiger
    After that it could be anyone from the top 20.

    I always reckon that Luke has the short game for the masters but he never seems to do it there, shame.

    Are you referring to Shane Lowry :eek: ??

    I'd love to see it happen. The man can do no wrong in my eyes after the Ryder Cup.

    Can't see him doing another one. I picked the ten people I thought were most likely to win a major next year. Hugely subjective, I know. My own picks are

    Rory
    Padraig
    Poulter
    Schwartzel

    Not necessarily in that order.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭f22


    McIlroy
    Rose
    Woods
    Schwartzel

    I know its your subjective opinion OP but I don't see any way that Harrington has a better chance of winning a major this year than the likes of Bradley, Dufner, McDowell, Scott, Simpson etc. Would love to be proven wrong all the same!

    If I was to pick now I'd go the following:

    Masters: Tiger - I find it hard to back against Tiger on what effectively is a home ground for him. If he is to win one this year I think this will be it. Rory has been very up and down over the last couple of years here and while I think he'll be competitive I don't fancy him to win. Louis and Scott will compete hard again.

    US Open: Bradley - Its slightly strange this year in that the US Open is being played on a slightly quirky course at Merion while the PGA is at a big long course at Oak Hill. I fancy Bradley to win one at some stage this year so I've gone for this one. McDowell should continue his excellent for at the US Opens with a decent performance here.

    Open Championship: Scott - Struggling to decide between Scott and Oosthuizen for this. Gonna go for Scott just because it would be good to see a bit of redemption for him after last years collapse.

    PGA: McIlroy - I think he'll be frustrated in a couple of the earlier majors but Oak Hill should set up to his liking.

    Point taken. I did say in my original post that my selections were based on a combination of form and wishful thinking! I still think Padraig has it in him to win another major (or maybe even more than one) if he can just get everything to click at the same time.

    No order.

    Tiger
    Rose
    Dufner
    Oosthuizen.

    Might invest in a lucky 15!!

    I always have a sneaky e/w on Rickie Fowler for the british open too.

    Went for Dufner too - amazed more have not gone for him. He does look a but shaky down the home stretch but.

    0/2... Should have been a little less specific :)

    Just a bit mixed up I was. Johnson to win the Open and Rory for the PGA ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,830 ✭✭✭abff


    The question was who would win one or more majors in 2013, not which majors they would win.
