Lee Westwood
Despite not winning a major, few players around the world can come close to the career résumé of Lee Westwood. He's been ranked No 1 in the world on two separate occasions. He's won 21 times on the European Tour and 38 times worldwide. He's finished in the top 10 a staggering 13 times in majors, and in six of his past 10 major starts, the Englishman finished tied third or better. Surely the time has come?
What we like: The best driver of a golf ball since Greg Norman – he's as long and straight as they come – Westwood's iron play is stellar too; finding the greens in regulation will be crucial at Olympic.
What's stopping him: Despite what he says, Westwood's pitching and general short game is as lacklustre as it has ever been. He holes his fair share of putts but his lack of creativity with a wedge in hand has held him back from winning at the very highest level.
