Best athlete in his respective sport EVER. Best athlete in any sport comparing apples to oranges I know but he is the best and it will be a long time before we see any other that compares. Nothing to do with his personal life, strictly sport speaking. The gap between him at his best against any other golfer at his best is 2 or 3 times bigger than the gap between the best basketball player versus number 2, best baseball player versus number 2, best football player versus number 2, best any sport athlete versus number 2. Forget skin color and his latest wrong doings, consider Federer / Nadal, Kobe / Lebron, Manning / Any other QB, any sport and the gap between Tiger and Phil or Tiger and Jack. The gap is bigger and Tiger is the best Athlete to come around in a long time if ever. That being said it would not suprise me to see him win the Masters by 10 because if you thought he was mentally tough before he will be 100 % focused on EVERY shot and it won't be pretty. The tourney will be over by Saturday and the next chapter will be written.
