The only player in the top ten Europeans in the world rankings to have actually won a Major. OK, both his Majors were Masters titles (in 1994 and
1999) but Jose continues to impress at the big ones on both sides of the Atlantic, and came close to capturing a third Green Jacket in 2006 before
eventually settling for third place behind Phil Mickelson. Out of golf for 18 months with rheumatoid polyarthritis in three joints of his right foot
and two in his left, his 1999 comeback win was warmly received.

Ryder Cup legend with 22 European Tour and six US Tour titles to his name. Third at The Players this year and tied 45th at Oakmont, mainly thanks to an opening day 70. Perennial contender.. unlikely to win at Carnoustie but it would be nice.
