Tiger Woods
World Ranking: 1
He has a chance to have the longest winning streak in the Open since Peter Thomson (1954-56) or have the most consecutive runner-up finishes in the majors since Ernie Els (2000). The putter let him down at the Masters, his irons hurt him at Oakmont. He won't be able to keep driver in the bag like he did at Hoylake, but Woods generally thrives on tough courses, and the British Open might end up being his best major.
