The Masters gets underway Thursday morning and the level of competition for the 2013 version might be as good as it's been in a decade. There's no question that Tiger Woods has the majority of the support from fans and media, but plenty of guys are playing well enough to win the green jacket. But the question still remains: can they get past the four-time Masters winner?

The past few year's of Tiger's career have been well-documented. Personal problems led to professional pitfalls, but despite the issues Tiger has dealt with, Augusta National Golf Club has a been his saving grace. To steal a line from Chubbs in 'Happy Gilmore' - The Masters is Tiger's 'happy place.'

Just look at the results at this tournament over his entire career.
