Welcome to the new season of Teeing Off, where Devil Ball editor Jay Busbee and head writer Jonathan Wall take a day's topic and smack it all over the course. Suggest a future topic by writing jay.busbee@yahoo.com , or hit us on Twitter at @jaybusbee and @jonathanrwall . Today, we're talking Augusta, and the potential for this year's tournament to be the best ever. Busbee: Here we are, Masters week. The most wonderful week of the year for golf fans. I'm singing. You singing? Wall: First off, let me get something out of my system. It's MASTERS WEEK!!! Busbee: Amen. Anyway, this year comes with some extra-special juice to it, as it appears we may have that proverbial perfect storm now gathering. The golf world's four most notable players: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and world no. 1 Luke Donald, are all playing strong golf, all coming off recent victories. Which makes us ask: could this be the most anticipated Masters ever? Wall: Seriously, there isn't a better week during the season than when the best players in the world gather at Augusta National. Getting back to reality, I do think this is the most anticipated Masters ever. We've seen some great ones over the years, including Tiger Woods going for the "Tiger Slam" in 2001, but this one just feels different. There's Tiger coming off his win at Augusta, Rory trying to rid himself of last year's collapse, and a host of other big names playing at an incredibly high level. Of course, all this talk about it being the most anticipated Masters ever means we'll most likely see a dark-horse winner.
