Tiger Woods
Will once again start the bookies' favourite although it is hard to see why considering his recent wretched form.
Phil Mickelson
Champion five years ago and seems to be in contention at every US-based major. No one will be better prepared.
Rory McIlroy
Capable of shooting the lights out of any course but he may have already peaked this season.
Ernie Els
A consistent performer in all the majors, it would be no surprise if he wins one again.
Justin Rose
Two wins on the PGA Tour this season and a place in the Ryder Cup team on his radar.
Steve Stricker
The recent world number two is playing in his home State and there are few better putters in the game.
Paul Casey
Played in the final pair on Sunday at St Andrews and flopped. Will be keen to make amends here.
Jim Furyk
Too good to discount, but there appear more likely winners than this American star.
Padraig Harrington
Superb second in the Irish Open two weeks ago, the 2008 champion is hitting form.
Martin Kaymer
A born winner with five titles already, the young German could well challenge this week.
Ian Poulter
Englishman's form has dipped of late but it will return - no doubt sooner rather than later.
Anthony Kim
Making his way back after a hand injury, the youngster will be happy just to be teeing it up.
Retief Goosen
The stats suggest Goosen will be there or thereabouts - but maybe not the winner.
KJ Choi
A real competitive force, Choi has impressed in recent majors and could win one soon.
Luke Donald
A nearly man or now ready to make the big breakthrough? Donald continues to split opinion.
Ross Fisher
Impressive win in Ireland has put him right back on the radar. Fearless and good all-round game.
Graeme McDowell
The new US Open champion is bursting with confidence but does he have the concentration?
Louis Oosthuizen
Contended in Sweden just a week after his Open triumph so no doubts about his focus.
YE Yang
Defending champion has confirmed his class with a decent year but unlikely to win again.
Hunter Mahan
American star on the rise and looking for a first major victory. Won recent WGC event at Firestone.
