Phil Mickelson came of age at the 2004 US Masters when he shook the tag of best golfer never to have won a major with "that" 18-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to secure victory over Chris DiMarco. Mickelson joined Arnold Palmer, Sandy Lyle and Mark O'Meara as the only players to score a final birdie to win the Masters.
2004 was a breakthrough year for "Lefty" who was runner-up at the US Open, third at the British Open and Tied for 6th at the PGA Championship. He began 2005 with consecutive wins at the FBR Open and Pebble Beach.
Phil has now won 26 tournaments on the PGA Tour and with his US Masters win in 2004 his wholesome image has him in the top tier of corporate endorsers. This year Mickelson's endorsement income will top $20 million, second only to Tiger Woods who tops the leader board at about $80 million.

Adam Scott

Adam Scott

Adam Scott is regarded as the most exciting young Australian golfer since Greg Norman. At the age of 23 years, eight months and 12 days, he became the youngest winner of The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour, an event considered by many to be the game's fifth Major.

Scott is a four-time winner on the US PGA Tour. His initial breakthrough came at the 2003 Deutsche Bank Championship after a second round 62 set up a four stroke win and saw Adam break into the top 20 in the World Rankings for the first time.
