Sean,

>Trying to call Tiger a great athlete is a bit of a stretch, what he is a very charismatic individual who is good at his activity. I will not devalue golf but a comparing Golf to the TDF is like comparing Badmiton(sp) to football there is an itensity lvl difference.

I agree that golf does not involve as much exertion as other sports, but it certainly is not as easy as Tiger makes it look. It's primarily a game of mental concentration, finely-tuned muscular control, mathematics, physics, logic and strategy. He is certainly one of the best ever.
