Its Tiger. It just has to be. He completely dominates what he does. There are better athletes than Tiger overall, but what he does to his sport is just amazing.

Woods dominates Golf like no one has dominated a sport since Jordan or Gretzky in their primes, although some golfers are hardly what I'd call athletes. <cough!> John Daly <cough!>

I say Federer, although Woods is very close. Federer is the favorite to win every tournament he plays, and he delivers the vast majority of the time. Tiger has the structure of golf going against him, since there are so many players in each tournament, it's just not feasible to win a large majority of the tournaments you play in. But Federer does win almost every time he steps on the court, and that's why he got my vote.

I agree, even when he has an offday, Federer wins basically every time, and seeing him lose a set, nonetheless a match, shocks me, so I gotta say Federer...not to take anything away from Woods though, he is truly great.
