Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have struggled to win titles on the Isles as of late. Woods has won three British Opens but hasn't had any clear success since his last title in 2006, with not one top-ten finish during that span (and two missed cuts and a DNP). Mickelson has never won a British Open, coming his closest last season with a 2nd place finish (only his second top-ten finish ever at the tournament). Is this the year their luck changes?
