The 28-year old isn't short on talent or confidence. McIlroy has been widely inconsistent with the Nike gear, so I'd steer clear of the young gun until he switches back to his trusty Titleists. Johnny Miller believes his switch to Nike clubs will hurt him at the Masters and the numbers back him up. And don't be fooled by his solid showing at the Texas Open, if the former number one was on his game he would have won that tournament going away. Rory hasn't been himself in 2013 and his slow start to the year combined with his dismal showings at Augusta (T20, CUT, T15, T40) do not inspire confidence. I would be shocked if he wasn't in the mix for his fifth green jacket on Sunday. Woods' odds have dropped from last year when he was a 4/1 favorite, which speaks to the gambling community's renewed faith in him. Additionally, Woods has been wielding a hot blade since getting advice from the Steve Stricker who is widely considered to be the finest putter in the world. So why is he the favorite at Augusta? Try 10 top-5 finishes, four green jackets at the Masters and a dominate win at Doral just a month ago. Woods hasn't won a major since he knocked off Rocco Mediate in a playoff at Torrey Pines back in 2008. Will this be the year Tiger Woods turns things around or will Bubba Watson and the " Golf Boys" remain the talk of the tee box? The 77th Masters field is loaded with sleeping giants, fan favorites and big hitters.
