It's nice to finally post some news about Tiger other then his recent sex scandal. The Associated Press awarded Tiger the honors of "Athlete of the Decade" by looking at what he's achieved on the course in ten years and not whats happened in his personal life over the last three weeks.
It's hard to deny that what Tiger has done over the last decade with his clubs is truly a Herculean feat. He has won 64 times, hoisted 12 major titles, won 56 PGA Tour events, and has won in every continent golf is played.
Tiger received 56 of a possible 142 votes that have been cast by AP member editors starting last month. Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de France six times, finished second with 33 votes. Other notables include Roger Federer with 25 votes, Micheal Phelps with 13 votes, and Tom Brady with 6 votes.
Few people have changed their profession like Tiger Woods. He draws record crowds, spikes TV ratings, and has influenced prize money to nearly quadruple since he joined the PGA Tour, not to mention be the first athlete in history to hit the billion dollar mark in earnings.
Cheers,
