The early US Masters narrative centres on two men, with both Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy trading in single figures already.

Despite finishing just 128th on the PGA Tour Money List, Tiger served notice of a return to form with victory on his final 2011 start, and duly resumed his normal position as favourite for a major he's won four times.

Whether he remains a shorter price than his successor as the game's principal box office attraction, however, will depend on how their respective form compares throughout the early season.

All eyes will be on Rory after he threw away the Green Jacket in spectacular style last year, having dominated for three days.

It would be wrong to see the Masters as anything like a two-man event though, not least because that ignores the massive claims of three-time champion Phil Mickelson.

Indeed, Mickelson is the only winner since 2005 who didn't start the week at odds over 100.00.

One especially notable candidate for 2012 must be last year's runner-up Jason Day, who produced the best debut performance seen at Augusta for several decades.
