Tiger is a legend.
Moresomes on a Saturday night , major wins on a Sunday. Hope he booked a trio of lovelies last night to get himself in the right frame of mind to lift the claret jug. Go get them Tiger. |

not correct to call a guy that swings a golf club as the greatest athlete of all time, im sure tour de france riders, triathlon competitors. track & field competitors would have a different view.Pumping iron in the gym does not make someone the greatest athlete of all time.

Theres are very few who even come close to woods... enjoy while he is here cause you will never see his like again
|
|
By:
I'm starting to come round to woods, must have a new PR man because he was hateful barsteward for years.
|
|
By:
as i said swinging a golf club and walking between shots does not make "the greatest athlete of all time".

I wanna see him go and get it today. Aggressive, play to win, don't play not to lose. Big difference between those approaches. Make a putt then pump the fist and let out a roar, remind the others of who you are Tiger... If he is gonna get to 19, or even 18, I sorta feel he needs to nail down 15 quick, can't keep knocking on the door, break the door down. Then floodgates may open.

name me a better sportsman ??

Woods always praises the shots of his opponents and from what i can see is liked by many of his fellow pro's.
And he is a winner. He has played great this week. Dont know how well the likes of Scott and Mahan have been playing as we have not seen any of their long game all week. He must be the most likely winner, however links courses play to luck, one shot bounces and only rolls 10 foot whilst another "perfect" shot rolls through the green. Can be a lottery, i guess it will boil down to who gets lucky with a couple of 20 footers that drop. |

By:
I already said he is the greatest athlete of all time, now shut up and enjoy being in the era of such greatness. Privileged.

By:
he knows he can`t play the game any more

Michael Jordan

|
By:
Yes, your right, he is only the world no 1, top of the fed ex points list and 4 times winners this year.
He is gone at the game. |
|
By:
^^ incorrect.... the closest to woods is federer and hes still miles off
|

By:
Aberdonia, that post was a thinly veiled what the feck is happening with the BBC's golf coverage this week.

Federer... rubbish. Not even the greatest tennis player. The greatest ever in their sport must have a winning record against all their contemporaries. Nadal has smashed him head to head. So Fed is out. Jordan was amazing, a pure winning machine with a will to win every bit the same as Tiger.

By:
Woods is smart enough to know, there are major flaws in his game
|
|
By:
yes Commodus..and i pointed out that you are talking shyte
|
|
By:
Nadal goes to the same chemist in Madrid as all those cyclists, allegedly.
|
|
By:
admittedly jordan was something else.. still not in tiger league not a hoping hell, jordan had teamates to help ;)
|
|
By:
Think Jordan could win an nba ring with a broken bone in his leg?
Tiger is the greatest athlete ever by miles. |
|
By:
If snooker was a sport Stephen Hendry would be the one.
I won fortunes backing him. He had what every great needs "bottle". |
|
By:
LOL yes the flu vs broken leg.
|
|
By:
And playing basketball with a broken bone in your leg is not exactly feasible
|
|
By:
its time he stopped gobbing everywhere
|

By:
Greatest sportsman ever doesn't get schooled by Lee Westwood.
|
|
By:
Padraig Harrington, end of thread.
|
|
By:
LOL he's not even the golf GOAT. As for "athlete"
|
|
By:
Greatest golfer of all time by a mile in my view. Nicklaus won majors in a far less competitive time. Woods has won 25% of tournies he has entered on the PGA tour which is simply phenomenal. Has a will to win I've never seen in golf and his performance at Pebble Beach to win by 15 was as close to golfing perfection as you will ever see.
Always hard to gauge greatest athlete as all other sports are so different but for impact on his chosen sport he is unsurpassed. Brought so much money and exposure into the game and without Tiger a lot of these guys would be playing for a lot less cash |

Miguel Indurain, see ya lads.

Woods made the mistake of going first to Harmen and then the rest. The golf swing of a genius like Woods is a gift,
and it is very dangerous to tinker with. Woods has known for a long time now that things are not the same as when he was 19..and he will never get it back. Such a shame, Harmon and the rest have the destruction of what would easily have been the greatest ever [player. Woods has not even been in the top 10 for the last 15 years |

It took the great Jack Nicklaus 700 events to get to 70 wins on the PGA Tour
It took Tiger Woods about 280 or so Just think about the one stat for one moment, its a absolutely phenomenal record. The 15 shot win at the 2000 us open is the single greatest sporting achievement even. His overall win record is something like 27% even with all his problems Even a 70% Tiger Woods now is still the best player in the world by some distance The bloke is/was a utter sporting genius When in his pomp he was the ultimate sportsman, a absolute relentless winning machine in what is the most competitive sport in the world Enjoy him while you can, we will never see the likes again |

By:
In his prime he holed more clutch putts than anybody has ever. He was just an awesome athlete and even after injuries he still got back from nowhere to become the world no 1 again.
|
|
By:
again..awesome athlete, he swings a golf club and walks between shots....Phil Taylor has won 16 world titles and he also walks between throws....is Phil also one of the worlds greatest "athletes"??
|
|
By:
No but Taylor is a phenomenal sportsman. Darts is a sport and he is the greatest so it stands to reason he is a sportsman
