Leading up to The Masters, we'll offer up our thoughts on some of the game's best players and their chances to win at Augusta. We continue our coverage with the most talked about golfer on the planet: Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods His 2012 so far : Woods won an official event for the first time in more than two years when he captured the Arnold Palmer Invitational for the seventh time in his career. He also has a pair of top-3 finishes in six starts this season. His Masters record: Only Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer can boast the kind of success Woods has had at Augusta National. His four green jackets are second only to Nicklaus' six, and even in the years Woods hasn't won, he's almost always finished inside the top 5 (six times in his last seven starts). Why he could win: Because his game is peaking at the right time. As opposed to years past when we questioned Woods' swing and his mental state, he comes into the Masters with a breakthrough win and a boatload of confidence. When you put both of those things together with Augusta National, you almost always get a green jacket. Woods has produced some incredible moments at the Masters over the years and the way he's playing at the moment, you have to believe he's going to make another serious run this year.
