If I had to make one guess to start off with, it is that South Korean men are forced to serve in the military for two years. I believe they have to serve starting no later than their 22nd birthday, so it is very possible that military service stunts their development.

Women's golf was ripe for a take-over. They are mad for golf in Asia, U.S. girls, not so much. The ranks of male golfers is still massive here. It's not ready to be taken over by Asia yet. But they are making inroads. Here's a handy article I found that should help fill you in. http://golfweek.com/news/2012/jul/15/open-championship-pipeline-starting-fill-korean-me/

Should make the betting easy. Just bet on a Kim, Lee or Park winning.
