When we talk about golf, only one name comes to mind and that’s Tiger Woods. However, nowadays, it seems Tiger’s hold of the golf course is slipping and guys like Vijay Singh is trying to take his crown away from him.

With guys like Zach Johnson, Ernie Els, Stuart Appleby and Boo Weekley, slowly but surely catching Tiger Woods atop the golf
food chain, golf aficionados are definitely in for a treat where competition on any golf course is as unpredictable as ever.
