Phil lacks the Mental toughness to compete against Tiger. Down the stretch he will miss a short putt or some other bone-head move. He is a nice guy, but...................................

For me the favorite winner would be one of my fellow citizens: Stenson, Karlsson, Fasth, Pettersson or Edfors. Best chance: Stenson. Advantage: Recent confidence building wins & he may be one of the relatively few guys still capable of playing the course as a par 68. Disadvantage: I don't think his putting is good enough + he has limited Augusta experience. If he manages to stay on top & come back a few times he'll probably have a shot another year.
So who? Ernie Els taking it home would be great. There's another guy that I'd like to see as a winner: DL3. He should retire with more than one major. So should Freddy Couples. They are both approaching the autumn of their careers.
