Tiger Woods |
14 |
Win (2000, '05, '06) |
| If he's ever going to break out of his "slump" -- and we use that word lightly -- St. Andrews is the place. |
| 2 |
Phil Mickelson |
14 |
3rd (2004) |
| Forget the No. 1 ranking -- Phil needs to figure out a way to contend at the Open Championship. |
| 3 |
Lee Westwood |
15 |
T3 (2009) |
| He's finished third or better in three of the last four majors and was one shot out of last year's playoff at Turnberry. His health is a question, though. |
| 4 |
Steve Stricker |
10 |
T7 (2008) |
| He's certainly got momentum after winning te John Deere Classic, but can he sustain it after the trip across the pond? |
| 5 |
Jim Furyk |
14 |
4th (1997, '98, '06) |
| One of three two-time winners this year, the steady Furyk wants to change his fortunes at St. Andrews where he hasn't finished higher than 41st. |
| 6 |
Ernie Els |
15 |
Win (2002) |
| Not only has he won the Claret Jug, the current FedExCup points leader has nine other top-10 finishes in the Open, including a tie for second in 2000 at St. Andrews. |
| 7 |
Luke Donald |
9 |
T5 (2009) |
| He ended a four-year victory drought with a win in Madrid earlier this year with a third and second as bookends. |
| 8 |
Ian Poulter |
9 |
2nd (2008) |
| That victory in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship this year hasn't proved quite the springbroad he had hoped. |
| 9 |
Rory McIlroy |
2 |
T42 (2007) |
| Just 21, the wise and talented Northern Irishman -- who picked up his first PGA TOUR win earlier this year -- has the patience his fans should have. |
| 10 |
Paul Casey |
8 |
T7 (2008) |
| Started the season with four top-10s, including a second at the Accenture Match Play, but the Englishman has been quiet since. |
| 11 |
Graeme McDowell |
6 |
T19 (2008) |
| After his performance at another seaside course last month, the U.S. Open champ comes to St. Andrews with high expectations. |
| 13 |
Martin Kaymer |
2 |
T30 (2009) |
| A pair of double bogeys in his last four holes cost Kaymer a chance to successfully defend in France two weeks ago and win for the second time this year. |
| 14 |
Robert Allenby |
14 |
T7 (2008) |
| His solo second at THE PLAYERS was his third runner-up of 2010, but Allenby hasn't finished higher than 29th in four starts since. |
| 15 |
Padraig Harrington |
13 |
Win (2007, '08) |
| He's won two British Opens. He's won two European Tour events at St. Andrews. But he's never won a British Open at St. Andrews. Maybe this is the week. |
| 16 |
Justin Rose |
8 |
T4 (1998) |
| His best previous finish came when he was a 17-year-old amateur, but Rose has matured and picked up his first two TOUR wins in his last three starts. |
| 17 |
Camilo Villegas |
2 |
T13 (2009) |
| He picked up his third PGA TOUR victory in March but struggled at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open, shooting 76 or higher in three of four rounds. |
| 18 |
Zach Johnson |
6 |
T20 (2007) |
| Consistent season highlighted by a win in Texas, but Johnson has only had one top-10 in 13 major starts since his Masters win in 2007. |
| 19 |
Edoardo Molinari |
2 |
T60 (2005) |
| Playing in his first Open in four years, Molinari should have confidence after that breakthrough win in Scotland jumped him from 41st to 19th in the world. |
| 20 |
Retief Goosen |
14 |
5th (2009, 2005) |
| The two-time U.S. Open champ tied for fifth the last time the British Open was played at St. Andrews. |
| 21 |
Tim Clark |
6 |
T23 (2005) |
| A string of three straight 66s at TPC Deere Run and a tie for seventh Sunday should send THE PLAYERS champ to St. Andrews in a positive frame of mind. |
| 22 |
Lucas Glover |
4 |
T27 (2007) |
| Last year's U.S. Open champ has only broken 70 once in his last 10 rounds. |
| 23 |
Matt Kuchar |
5 |
MC (1998, '02, '07, '08, '09) |
| Forget those Open missed cuts. With six top-10s this year, including a tie for sixth at the U.S. Open, the Georgia Tech product is a win waiting to happen. |
| 24 |
Sean O'Hair |
5 |
T14 (2006) |
| He's finished 12th or better in his last three starts, including the U.S. Open. Is this where he takes the next step? |
| 25 |
Charl Schwartzel |
5 |
T22 (2006) |
| He's won twice, picked up top-10s in two World Golf Championships and hasn't missed a cut this year. Think the young South African is ready? |
| 26 |
Geoff Ogilvy |
7 |
T5 (2005) |
| That successful title defense at the SBS Championship in the season opener remains his only top-10 of the season. |
| 27 |
Hunter Mahan |
5 |
T6 (2007) |
| Picked up his second TOUR win in Phoenix earlier this year, but he's missed his last four cuts, including the U.s. Open. |
| 28 |
Y.E. Yang |
2 |
MC (2005, '07) |
| He followed last year's PGA Championship win with a tie for eighth at the Masters, but Yang missed the cut at Pebble Beach. |
| 29 |
Dustin Johnson |
1 |
MC (2009) |
| It will be interesting to see how he performs in his next major after squandering a three-stroke lead entering the final round of the U.S. Open. |
| 30 |
Francesco Molinari |
2 |
T13 (2009) |
| The younger of the talented Italian brothers, Francesco should be confident with three top-four finishes in his last five starts. |
| 31 |
Robert Karlsson |
10 |
T5 (1992) |
| The Swede's eye problem is well behind him after that win in Qatar and a playoff loss in Memphis earlier this year. |
| 32 |
Ross Fisher |
3 |
T13 (2009) |
| The Englishman has been relatively quiet this year but he does have top-10s in two of his last three starts. |
| 33 |
Henrik Stenson |
6 |
T3 (2008) |
| That tie for third at Birkdale was the start of a stretch that has seen Stenson post top-10s in four of 10 majors. But his 2010 season has been sub-par. |
| 34 |
Nick Watney |
2 |
T27 (2009) |
| That tie for seventh at AT&T National was Watney's fifth top-10 finish of the season. |
| 35 |
Kenny Perry |
5 |
T8 (2003) |
| He turns 50 next month. Will Perry be this year's Greg Norman or Tom Watson at the British Open. |
| 36 |
Miguel Angel Jimenez |
14 |
3rd (2001) |
| A two-time winner already in 2010, maybe Jimenez can give Spain something else to celebrate on Sunday. |
| 37 |
Rickie Fowler |
0 |
N/A (N/A) |
| The colorful youngster from Oklahoma State is making what is sure to be the first of many British Open appearances -- and he could contend. |
| 38 |
Stewart Cink |
12 |
1st (2009) |
| It's been a relatively uneventful year for the defending champion but maybe a return to Scotland will inspire him. |
| 39 |
Angel Cabrera |
11 |
T4 (1999) |
| He always seems to come up big at the majors. A win at St. Andrews would give the Argentine the third leg of the career Grand Slam. |
| 40 |
Alvaro Quiros |
1 |
MC (2009) |
| His win at the Open de Espana earlier this year was big. Don't underestimate him this week. |
| 41 |
Ben Crane |
3 |
T11 (2006) |
| He picked up his third TOUR win in San Diego earlier this year and had a stretch of four straight top-12s or higher starting with THE PLAYERS. |
| 42 |
Ryan Moore |
1 |
T47 (2007) |
| He's coming off a solo second at the AT&T National. Could we have our second straight bearded major champ? |
| 43 |
K.J. Choi |
10 |
T8 (2007) |
| That missed cut at last week's John Deere Classic was the Korean's first in 15 starts this year. |
| 44 |
Sergio Garcia |
13 |
2nd (2007) |
| With six top-10s, he knows he can play the Open Championship. Maybe he can draw inspiration from his country's soccer champs. |
| 45 |
Scott Verplank |
10 |
T7 (2004) |
| He's finished fifth or better in three of his last five starts, including a playoff loss at the Travelers Championship. |
| 46 |
Adam Scott |
10 |
T8 (2006) |
| That win at the Valero Texas Open was his first in two years -- and his only top-10 in 13 starts thhis year. |

T24 (2009) |
| The steady Swede picked up his third European Tour win earlier this year in Mallorca. |
| 48 |
Bubba Watson |
1 |

| 63 |
Jeff Overton |
2 |
T13 (2009) |
| With two runners-up and two thirds in his last eight starts, can that first PGA TOUR win be far away? |
| 64 |
Soren Hansen |
6 |
T8 (2009) |
| The Dane finished 20th or better in his first seven stroke play events but has duplicated that feat just onces in his last eight starts. |
| 65 |
Steve Marino |
1 |
T38 (2009) |
| Turnberry was quite an Open introduction for him -- Marino was the co-leader with Tom watson after two rounds but closed with 75-76. |
| 66 |
Soren Kjedlsen |
5 |
T27 (2009) |
| The three-time European Tour winner only has two top-10s this year, although he did make the cut in both majors. |

| 71 |
Davis Love III |
23 |
T4 (2003) |
| The 1997 PGA champ was a late addition after Anthony Kim withdrew. If he plays like he did in tying for sixth at the U.S. Open, Love could be a factor. |
| 72 |
Vijay Singh |
21 |
T2 (2003) |
| The two-time major champ has shown signs of his former self this year and finished 11th and fifth, respectively, in the last two Opens at St. Andrews. |
| 74 |
