It's the most difficult to qualify for and the field is limited to ninety players. But of those ninety players about a third of them are amateurs and former champions who have almost no chance of winning.
Then a there are about fifteen or so players who would need a miracle to win.
You realistically only have to beat about fifty players have half of them are top tier players and the other half are long shots.
I can name about twenty-five players and would have a very good chance of one of them being the winner.
Having said that, while it's true that you only have to beat about 25 players or so to win, you do have to beat the 25 best. But that it true of the other three majors, and other tournaments where the top 25 show up and the top 125 all have somewhat of a chance of winning.
