Without a doubt, The Masters is a tournament unlike any other. From the club's many valued "patrons" to the presence of the "first cut" around fairways—as opposed to the standard "rough" of most other golf courses—Augusta National has long hosted a golf spectacle that ranks as a must-watch event for every sports fan.

Either outcome seems equally probable, and the watching world seems almost split on whether the 34-year-old can grab his 15th major title in the most testing circumstances of all.

The case against him: He hasn’t played competitively for almost six months (and for a few months of that he reportedly didn&rsqu...
