Highlights
Nicknamed El Nino, this Spain native is one of the most prominent professional golfers without a major championship. Despite 16 combined wins between the PGA Tour and international play, Sergio Garcia, 27, hasn't been able to capitalize on his 13 top-10 major finishes, including a playoff loss in the 2007 British Open to Padraig Harrington.

Garcia, who finished 2007 as the 13th-ranked player in the world, hasn't won a Tour event since the Booz Allen Classic in 2005.
