10. PHIL MICKELSON
WORLD RANK 3rd
BEST FINISH AT PLAYERS 3rd (2004)
This could be an important year for Phil because at age 36 he's finally addressing his fundamental swing issues by working with Butch Harmon. Phil's swing is loose, and the reason he needed two drivers at Augusta is that he couldn't maneuver the ball both ways with his old swing. I wonder if Phil will really listen to Butch and get away from what he lives for-trying to hit the ball as hard as he can.
MAY DAY
If Phil does things Butch's way, I believe he will contend again in majors, possibly this year.
