Tiger Woods' winning ways will come to an end at Augusta National this April, but if history has taught us anything, it's that Tiger is set for yet another top-10 finish at the Masters in 2013.

Woods is coming off two impressive wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, winning by two strokes at each event.

But Bay Hill and Doral don't begin to contend with Augusta National when it comes to the pressure Woods faces. 



Even casual sports fans tune into the Masters every spring, and for the past seven years, even they know that Tiger hasn't delivered. 

It's been nearly a decade since his last championship moment at Augusta, and while he is sure to be among the top contenders through the opening rounds and into the weekend, there must be serious doubts about his ability to close the deal.

Close, but no cigar.



Tiger has come up short too many times for us to consider him the man to beat this April. He may be the hottest golfer on the planet and a 14-time major champion, but it's ...
