Matthew says: “Rickie can pay all types of courses and conditions—look at his [British] Open record. He pays well on the toughest tracks. He now has the maturity to handle the pressure and he’ll win the Masters this year.”

A new decade can be a clean slate if you need it to be but either way, is there someone out there who can dominate golf’s greatest tournaments? Your guess might be as as good as ours, but for the

Phil Mickelson on Jon Rahm in
“There’s an intangible that some guys have where they want to have the pressure, they want to be in that tough position, they want to have everything fall on their shoulders, and he has that.”
“He now has the maturity to handle
the pressure and he’ll win the Masters this year”
READE TILLEY, Editor & MATT HALNAN, Art Director
Reade says: “Tiger’s era of consistent domination has passed but no one has his combination of swagger, success and storyline. He’s been a phenom, an outcast and a comeback and now he’s a wildcard.”
Matt says: “Tiger is the G.O.A.T. Even at 44 I expect Tiger to win the Masters this year, and even if he does not compete towards the end of the decade he could do enough in the next few years to dominate the rest.”

Paul says: “A thoroughly pleasant young man with more than a hint of silent assassin about him. Does everything extremely well and efficiently and only acks a bit of experience. With more miles on the clock he would have won the 2018 Open at Carnoustie.”

Joe says: “Justin Thomas is just getting warmed up and he won the first PGA Tour event of the new decade to set the tone. He’s still got bags of potential to unleash.”
