And we would have to agree even though golf isn’t the most “athletic” of sports, according to the article:

In this decade, he won 64 times (globally), including 12 majors. He now trails all-time majors leader Jack Nicklaus by a scant 18 – 14. In that entire period, when leading going into the final round, he lost only one time. During the decade, he won 56 PGA Tour events. That number surpasses the career numbers of all but four of golf’s greatest players.

The AP vote, like many of his tournament victories, was a runaway. He received 56 of the 142 votes cast by AP member editors. Second place was Lance Armstrong, six-time Tour de France winner in the decade, with with 33 votes. Third place was tennis’ Roger Federer, who has won more Grand Slam singles titles than any other man, with 25 votes.

None of our favorite basketball or baseball stars????
