It will be interesting to see how many people can birdie the first hole, and if anyone can possibly reach the 16th in 2. The initial guess would be of course not, but I have a hard time believing the USGA would ever set up a par 5 that could not be reached. I am not positive, but I am guessing there is some slope on that hole, and it probably plays with the wind on most days. Saying it is 670yds may be misleading for long the hole actually plays. They may even move the tees up for a day a two.

Anyways, Tiger about to start- the key for him is going to be his short game and ability to make 5-10 footers for par. Most people are confident in his ball striking right now- its the other stuff that is not quite where it should be.
