The dynamics of golf have changed dramatically since the fall of Tiger Woods. Parity is the name of the game now as nobody has shown the ability to dominate. Woods in his prime was a man amongst boys but his physical break down will prevent any future dominance. While there are a host of great players that can win any week there is not a single person that anyone can point towards as far as being above all others. This has made the Golf betting dynamics a far more challenging endeavor. Consider the variety of winners in recent major tournaments.
