The 5th Major

Now that the first Major Championship is over and done with, It's about time for the "5th Major" to start up. The Players Championship is approaching and the TOUR's most talented field is gearing up. Even though my picks for The Masters were...awful, not even close, way off...whatever you want to call it, here are some of my thoughts for The Players:

Geoff Ogilvy:
He has been playing better than most players this season, so far. With two wins, a few top 3's, five top 25's, and leading the field in FedEx points, his game is on point, to say the least. His calm, cool, and collective attitude will suit him well in the atmosphere that the Stadium course brings.
My Pick: makes cut, top 15.

Camilo Villegas:
Spiderman's go-getter attitude and aggressive style might get him into trouble a few times at TPC, however with holes like 16 and 18, Villegas could tee up and swing for the fences and easily make those holes a lot shorter.
My Pick: makes cut, top 25

Sergio Garcia:
The defending champ makes a run at two in a row the first week in May and is licking his chops. The Spaniard has been the quiet one the past few years coming up short a couple times. However, this year at The Players, Garcia is going to choke.
My Pick: MC

Tiger Woods:
How can anyone bet against Tiger. His final round comeback at The Masters almost paid off until he choked on 17 and 18, however to come back from 7 shots and make Perry, Cabrera, and Campbell pee their pants is impressive to say the least.
My Pick: makes cut, top 5

Phil Mickelson:
Lefty's is making a run for No.1 in 2009 and with 2 wins under his belt and 2nd in FedEx Cup points and already with a win at The Players, he is definitely someone to look out for.
My Pick: makes cut, top 5
