(CNN)Golf's landscape has changed in myriad ways since Tiger Woods launched his design business in 2006. Back then he was the game's bulldozer, barging inferior players out of the way in an all-out assault to overhaul Jack Nicklaus' tally of 18 majors and cement his title as the best of all time. Tiger Woods Design was supposed to form another facet of his burgeoning legacy; a series of lasting monuments to augment his immense standing within golf. Except the best laid plans of men often go awry. Woods hasn't won a major since the scandal that engulfed his private life in 2008 and only now, nearly a decade on from the inception of his design arm, is one of his plots open for business.
