Happy Thanksgiving! As we feast on turkey for Thanksgiving, we reflect on the Top15 things we're thankful for from the 2009 golf season. Tiger returned from the disabled list, several young stars took their games to new heights and there is plenty to look forward to in 2010. Here's what we're thankful for most this year ...

15.Michelle Wie finally winning her first LPGA Tour event.

14.John Daly discovering Loudmouth golf pants.
Whether you love him, like him, pity him or are simply fascinated by him, big-hitting John Daly is an interesting character and he gives us someone other than Tiger Woods to talk about. Lately, we're thankful that he seems like he's on the straight and narrow even if his golf game is a little crooked.

12.Y.E. Yang showing no fear against Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship.
Y.E. Yang took down Tiger at the PGA and several other players won majors who were not named Woods. Regardless, while we love seeing Tiger win, competition is good for the game, and 2009 had it.

11.Tiger Woods's knee recovering.
Tiger Woods' successful return from injury brought golf back from the grave. There's a huge void when he's gone. He brings the excitement even when he doesn't win a major championship and throws clubs and has temper tantrums.

10.A fitting end to the FedEx Cup.

9.China having a World Golf Championship event.

8.Marty Evans getting the LPGA Tour back on track.

7.Charles Barkley making us feel better about our golf swings.

6.Rory McIlroy living up to the hype.

5.Tiger Woods finding a playing partner in team events.

4.2010 is a Ryder Cup year.

3.Ken Green's inspiring comeback.

2.Henrik Stenson's , um, confidence.

1.The Masters is only 4 1/2 months away.

At last, God bless you!
