There was a reason Tiger was favored in the majors and it's because a lot of people are mistakenly betting him as if he were the old version of himself. As far as McIlroy being the fav from now on, it won't happen yet; as long as Woods keeps being in contention after two rounds and finishing in the Top 10 like he's been doing, a ton of money will come in on him. Look for Woods to be favored in the 2013 Masters.
what a show by Rory today!! Birdies the last 5 to win The European Tour's season finale
numbner one on the money list on The Pga Tour, and Euro Tour
5 tournament wins around the globe.
number 1 in The World, with a bullet
pity he doesn't play more tournaments on The PGA tour. Amzing to watch him-- best driver of the ball since Norman.
what a fuckin' talent!!

And he has already earned the first slice by filming a commercial with the man who helped broker the deal - Tiger Woods.
From January, the 23-year-old McIlroy will replace Woods as the future of Nike's no-money-spared marketing machine.
....interesting.....
And Sir Nick Faldo, the most successful British golfer of all time, fears McIlroy may have taken an unnecessary risk.
'I call it dangerous,' said Faldo, as speculation grew that McIlroy was about to switch allegiance.
'I've changed clubs and every manufacturer will say: "We can copy your clubs, we can tweak the golf ball so that it fits you". But there's a feel and sound and there's confidence [in your equipment]. You can't put a real value on that, it's priceless.'
