Alf Musketa's Top 10 Reasons why Tiger Woods won't win the Masters this year:
10) No Butch Harmon. Harmon had Tiger's body working in unison with his arms. Also, Harmon was there whenever his game needed a tune-up, like now.
9) Yes, Tiger can win without his "A" game, but his current form is not even his "B" game. It resembles Rich Beem's "A" game.
8) If Tiger is not within five shots of the lead, he'll once again pull the driver out on hole No. 3 ("Flowering Peach" 350 yard short par 4) and go for the green to make a double bogey or worse.
7) Tiger's fiancé has him occupied with unrelated golf activities, foremost planning a huge wedding, possibly for this summer.
6) There is more pressure as you get older. Tiger has not won a major since June of 2002. Is Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors safe?
5) Mike Weir's Masters Champions Dinner which features Caribou and Canadian beer, will bring the field closer together! Realistically, the field is closer. Tiger has raised the bar and everyone in golf is working out, including John Daly.

4) The Aussie's are coming. Adam Scott and Stuart Appleby have combined for over $4 million dollars in purse earnings. They are the No. 3 and 4 on the money list ahead of Tiger! Both of their game's suit Augusta National.
3) Tiger's swing is out of sync. His backswing is too long, it resembles the 1997 Masters move. Last week at the Players Championship he was No. 1 in driving distance. This is not a good thing!
2) Tiger's stubbornness to play through pain or swing faults and silence the critics will cost him.
1) At this year's Masters, Tiger will be wearing a brace/wrap on his left knee. As we have noticed Tiger's swing becoming longer, the surgically repaired left knee is not holding up well.
