British Open without Tiger Woods

July 14, 2008 | under PGA Tour, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson |

The coming British Open this week at Royal Birkdale will be the first major without Tiger Woods for the last decade.  Tiger Woods announced on June 18 that he will not be returning to the British Open and will be out for the rest of the season due to his knee surgery.

Now that Tiger is not playing, the competition is basically quite open.  Is it ?  I am not sure…  Many golfers will be eyeing for the title without Tiger there hogging to the top spot.  But who will succeed or will it be dominated by the world number 2 ?

Phil Mickelson would definitely be eyeing for the title.  But his inconsistency so far may not be helping him although he is playing much better relative to the previous year.  Phil did not do well over the weekend at the Barclays Scottish Open and did not finish within the top 20.  How are his chances at the British Open ?

Ernie Els fair slightly better at the Scottish Open last weekend coming into the Bristish Open this week.  He finished tied at 19th place with a score of -7.  Els will also be working hard to come back at the British Open.

Others that have been performing well.  Sergio Garcia has been doing quite well over the past months.  he has been playing quite a consistent game and is putting well. 

Well, who would take this opportunity without Tiger Woods to take the British Open Championship title ?  It is really hard to tell at the moment.  It is still wide open, and I forsee a very exciting and closely fought British Open this week.
