In Class: Tiger Woods is the greatest athlete ever

Watch any sports show, game broadcast, or sports news channel and you will probably hear the words; "the greatest ever". I am a big golf fan so I always try to make the argument that Tiger Woods is the greatest athlete ever. I believe this to be true because he as been the most dominant player in his sport. I think the only way to truly find the greatest athlete is to compare the athlete to others in his/her sport. I understand that many people will say that Michael Jordan or Michael Phelps or a number or other athletes are the greatest ever but how can you argue with Tiger Woods. He won a U.S. Open with a torn ACL or two fractures in his leg. Now that's impressive. I'd like to see Michael Jordan win an NBA Championship with a torn ACL and two fractures in his leg. When you talk about Tiger Woods you must look at his records that he holds. He was the youngest to win a major championship at the age of 21. He is currently chasing Jack Nickalaus for the most major championships. Jack has 18 and Tiger now has 14 but Tiger has gotten to 14 majors in quite a fast-paced fashion. His dominance may never be seen again in the game of golf. I understand that it takes a golfer to recognize some of the shots that he hits that makes him great but let me tell you, he hits some of the most amazing shots ever!
