All I'm gonna say is if he shows up to Pebble Beach with baggy pants and an extremely over-sized shirt, the rest of the field better watch out.

I think he'll discover that the key to victory is wearing clothes he previously dominated in.

On a real note, I think if he doesnt play at least twice before the tournament, I don't like his chances.

He will only play once before then (The Memorial). 2 times means 4 tournaments over 5 weeks. Not happening.

His chances are okay. Pebble isn't difficult, but he better learn to control that draw.

Unless that idiot decides to actually play some golf before he may as well stay home.

I think the more pressing story is that this is Phil’s last shot for the career slam.

None, he’s done after the Masters was rigged to boost golf

It will play about 7,000 yards. Lots of irons and 3-woods off the tee. Best iron player in the world. I like his chances

Yea, as long as his driver can stay in the bag most of the round, he has a good chance.

Definitely going all in for Phil at Pebble. Never pulled for just 1 guy before, but I agree that this is his last best chance

I would imagine he is somewhere in the top 5 in best chances to win. I’d have him behind BK and DJ. After that he’s pretty much right there..

The course sets up beautifully for Tiger v2019. If he putts reasonably well, he should be right there.

That’s gonna pretty much be his game: Augusta, certain US Open venues, and most British venues.

Brooks is going to win to tie Phil’s major total at age 29 whil Phil finishes 2nd

Well Tiger won by 15 there so you gotta say he has a chance.

Like Phil, another SoCal bo,y their experience putting bumpy poa greens will be a major asset to their chances

His chances are “Better than most ....”

I am not a Tiger fan so I’ll be pulling for Phil as a long-shot to complete the Grand Slam he deserves!

Depends on whether he figures out how to make 4-6 foot putts consistently.

You get one $100 bet. Who y'all putting it on?

7000 yds will open this Open up to a lot of gophers. The PGA was 7400 plus and only a par 70.

Brandt Snedeker would be a good bet at 100 to 1. 9 tour wins, 2 at Pebble. 5th at the Players and 16th at PGA but did get cut at Pebble this year.

Frankie at 26:1 is a good bet. The shorter course makes him a serious threat.
