Can Tiger Woods return to golf glory by winning his third consecutive British Open title at St. Andrews? Is Ian Poulter poised to earn his first major title? What about Lee Westwood or Ernie Els earning the crown of the sport’s oldest major championship? Will Tom Watson or Nick Faldo come from yesterday for one more hurrah? These storylines and more begin playing out Thursday when the British Open tees off at the home of golf in Fife, Scotland.

Golf’s second major of the season and arguably the most demanding and challenging of the Grand Slam quartet gets underway this morning at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York on Long Island where Tiger Woods, who won this tournament at Bethpage in 2002, will be looking to take home his fourth career and second straight U.S. Open crown.

The popular endorser of the “grip-it-and-rip-it” style of golf, 43 year-old double major winner, John Daly will return to the PGA Tour next month after a six-month suspension.

He has played eight times overseas during his suspension, including a month in Europe, where he tied for second in the Italian Open.
