One thing is for certain, he's the best athlete ever to play the game of golf. And as Ashey said, he's also the greatest "mental athlete"...possibly ever.

Best athlete on the planet? Possibly...definitely in the top echelon. But you can't argue that Tiger is something special.

"mental athlete" being someone who can contol get their body to do what they want it to do? Golf comes down to making the right swing at the right time. Gymnasts have more body control that Tiger. And athletes who have to actually react to something and then translate that to body movement, I give them more credit than Tiger. If he was hitting a moving ball, and he was moving, the story would be different.
