Tiger woods?

This question is for people like Skip Bayless who think Tiger Woods isnt the greatest golfer or athlete of all time. What do you think now? The man won the US open with practically a broken knee. He has won 14 majors, is the richest athlete in the world, the most recognizable athlete in the world. What more do you need to see he is the greatest golfer and athlete to ever live. His performance this week should be enough.

golf is not a sport golfers are not atheletes...............

you need to get over it!!!!!!!!!!

Skip Bayless is the kind of guy I might hate in real life but I always watch when First Take is on because he is right a lot of the time and is entertaining.

Greatest golfer: probably.

Greatest athlete: without question, NO! Real athletes must be in excellent overall physical condition. How does this sentence sound in the history books: "Tiger Woods, the greatest athlete to ever live, blew out his ACL while JOGGING." Wow, what a tremendous physical specimen.

Golf is a game of skill that requires some physical activity more than it is a true athletic endeavor. You do not have to be 'athletic' to excel at it. Many of the top golfers have crap Homer Simpson physiques. It is like pitching or bowling or quarterbacking. Quarterbacks, pitchers, and football kickers play a part in a real sport, but they are not one of the true athletes playing the game. Some football players, most basketball players, some soccer players and guys that steal a lot of bases in baseball are examples of real athletes who are well conditioned overall and have a good combination of strength, endurance, and quickness.

The reason Tiger Woods messed up his knee was that he was pretending to be a real athlete. He roided up to give himself muscular strength that was beyond the limits that his joints could support. He was involved in a weight lifting program to give him strength he didn't need, put on weight that was too much for his body, and jogged too much for his poor level of conditioning. In other words, he is the advanced version of the weekend warrior who didn't know his limits. Why do you think he half flexes his juiced up biceps any chance he gets? Why do you think Woods hangs with Jordan? He knows he doesn't play in a real sport and is jealous of real athletes. Now he is on the Bo Jackson plan but he was never Bo Jackson.

Oh and good painkillers can help you deal with almost any pain.

No doubt about it - noone will ever live up to Tiger's brilliant domination in golf ever, and at the moment he's by far the greatest athlete on the planet.

not only has he undoubted talent, he has the mental concentration and brilliance of a man possessed.

Even with injuries, distractions, even wen he's playing badly the way that he focuses and remains in the zone for huge periods of time allows him to be champion

He will definitely overtake Nicklaus' record of 18 majors, and i hope some day, he will display his brilliance in the 1 area where his ability is questioned - team competitions like the ryder cup, where he self-admittedly hasn't performed as he wud hav liked.

Tiger is truly the greatest athlete ever to have graced this planet, and i feel honored to live in his era.

It is hard to say someone is the greatest athlete of all time because there are a ton of factors varying from sport to sport. However, Tiger is the greatest golfer of all-time and his determiniation, passion, desire, and dominance is certainly head and shoulders over all other athletes in other sports.

there is no question that he is the greatest athlete of all time. He has such crazy concentration;. I don't know which is better, him winning the open on a torn ACL or winning a major tournament after the untimely death of his father. Tiger Woods is and will be for quite awhile the best athlete of all time
