The Mercedes Championship kicks off the PGA Tour this weekend. Breakfast Ball's pick to win is Stuart Appleby who has won an uprecedented three times in a row already. No one can explain why Appleby has been able to win the season opener consistently under various conditions, but he seems to come out strong every year. Casual observers should make no mistake, Appleby is a very talented golfer, who should have done better in the Majors over the years. A textbook swing and smooth putting stroke place him in the top ranks of PGA pros. Some observers are picking another Aussie, Adam Scott to continue to build on his success in the Player's Championship. Another sleeper is Vijay Singh who has battled closely with Appleby over the past several years. Unfortunately, the Fijian's season last year was an overall disappointment with only victory and no contention in the Majors, with the exception of a decent showing at the Masters. For Vijay, it's all about the putter and it has majorly let him down in the past couple of years. Should be a good way to kick off the new season. Obviously, no Tiger brings other golfers into contention and they will be trying hard to take advantage of it considering the new FedEx point system. Boom it!

Boom it baby!
What about Geoff Ogilvy? I think he will be in contention at all the major tournaments this year?
Isn't Jim Furyk the top ranked player at the Mercedes Championship? I also think he has a good shot at winning.
you guys are doing a lot of golf for the winter.
in response to the last 2 comments, they're both right. we are talking about golf, but that's never a bad thing. on furyk,bonnix is right, he is the 2nd ranked and often overlooked PGA pro on tour. always a threat to win.
