The HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai this week completes this season's World Golf Championships, and the last nine of them have had nine different winners.
Much has been made of the fact that in the last 13 Majors there have been 13 different winners - the last seven of them all first-timers.
Moreover, the last five WGC winners - Adam Scott, Nick Watney, Luke Donald, Francesco Molinari and Hunter Mahan - had never won a World Golf Championship or a Major before.
And it would be no surprise to see that sequence grow this weekend. World Number Two Lee Westwood does not have a Major or WGC to his name and nor do the likes of K J Choi, Justin Rose, Paul Casey, Robert Karlsson or Thomas Björn.
England’s Westwood has been close on numerous occasions – no more so than at Sheshan International 12 months ago when he was second to Francesco Molinari.
“I played nine holes Monday afternoon, and it was probably in the best condition of any golf course I've seen all year,” said Westwood.
“Every year the tournament gets bigger it seems and the course gets better. Every year we have come to China, the crowds get bigger and more knowledgeable, and golf's booming here.
“I became World Number One at this time last year and I played like World Number One in the tournament - unfortunately Francesco played a little bit better.”
Westwood finished fifth in last week’s Shanghai Masters after a strong final round that included a hole-in-one.
But it did not escape the former European Number One’s attention that the four players who finished ahead of him – Rory McIlroy, Anthony Kim, Noh Seung-yul and Hunter Mahan – had an average age of just 24.
“I think that it's a game where I guess age is not such a big issue,” he added. “You can obviously play well into your 40s.
“The young lads that come out now in their early 20s obviously have a hunger for it, and they seem they are almost professional before they come out. They have played tour events, they have travelled the world, so it's not such a big jump for them and shock really.
“So it's no surprise to see them come out and play well immediately. You have the likes of Tom Lewis who won his third event on Tour in Portugal a few weeks back, Matteo [Manassero] that's won a couple of times already, and he's only 18. And then you've got the old guys like Rory and AK, who played very well last week, and Noh, as well, who are top players.
“One of them will surely be World Number One one day and they are all going to win lots of Majors. But that's just the way it is in any sport - golf is no different. It's just that I guess the old men can hang onto it a little bit longer in this sport than they can in football where age becomes a factor.”
One of the youngsters hoping to make an impact this week is 25 year old US PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley.
“It’s been a great season,” he said. “And to think that a year ago I was just graduating from the Nationwide Tour is pretty special. It's kind of surreal to be here considering only a year ago I was driving home from Daniel Island to Orlando - it's pretty cool.
“Everything since I've been here has been amazing. The people have been great, the golf courses have been spectacular, and HSBC puts on an unbelievable golf tournament.
“Everything about this tournament is first class, and it's definitely a highlight of my career, even to play in this event. I would love to contend and be a part of this tournament.
“Every week I play out here, I kind of have to pinch myself. This is a tournament that's a huge honour to play in.”
