Tiger Woods is the overwhelming choice of golf writers to win this week's Masters and so complete a unique clean sweep of the four major championships.

Twenty out of 30 writers polled at Augusta believe Woods will triumph, with scores ranging from a record 19-under-par 269 to a nine-under 279.

The most popular choice of those who went for somebody other than Woods was defending champion Vijay Singh.

He received four votes; Phil Mickelson two - and David Duval, Davis Love, Ernie Els and Canadian Mike Weir one each.

Not one had Woods to be outside the top three, despite his last three Augusta finishes being eighth, 18th and fifth.
