What you have respect for and what is true are two different topics. What is an athlete to you? Running and jumping? Throwing or kicking?

Or could it be that athleticism is the ability to physically achieve a goal in the face of established obstacles?

Get over the fact that he’s not being tackled or defended, and recognize that his focus and training are just like any other person’s playing any other sport.

Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time but as far as greatest athlete of all time? Not even top 10. No disrespect to Tiger Woods, I am a big fan of his, but I have no respect for anyone suggesting that a golfer is the top athlete of all time.

You’re absolutely right. Sports where you willingly try to hurt others through tackling and hitting, or kicking a ball through a net, or throwing a round ball through a hoop?

Now that’s the real deal.

What nonsense. Golf is a silly game played by silly men who cannot play any other game. It is not a sport and golfer are not athletes. This blog is a disgrace.

Golf is a game of skill. It is not a sport. Tiger woods is a great golfer. Tiger woods is not an athlete.

So Tiger is not an athlete because he does not run and jump for his sport? Please.

For all of the physical talents that the above mentioned athletes possessed, prove to me that they were as good at their sports as Tiger is at golf.

Greatest athlete? Give me a break. If you want a true ‘athlete’, give me a guy like Herschel Walker.
Walker is 46 years old now and I would still put my money on him against Tiger in ANY sport outside of golf (if you consider golf a ’sport’).
Dave Winfield got drafted in baseball, basketball, and football.
Calling a golfer the greatest athlete in the world is a slap in the face of guys like that.
