5 in a row for Tiger. Shot 63 in the final round.
Tiger is just mowing people down right now. This guy is sick. |

I'm going further than I did last week. Not only is he the best golfer ever, he is the best and most dominant player in any individual sport ever. |

Tiger just shot past Byron Nelson in career wins. Tiger has only played 10 years on the PGA Tour, but already has the fifth most career wins. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness.

I'd say he is. In Tiger's sport he has to face a different animal every time in the form of different courses.
Lance was dominating for sure but once you get the rhythm of the Tour de France course, it's a science.
Tiger makes it look like a science every week against a different course every week. |

I've taken those ESPN polls, and I vote for Lance first and Tiger second. Tiger is the best golfer since the game was invented. _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions! |

It's difficult to compare dominance from sport to sport. Tiger and Lance are the best that ever was in their respective sports. Lance Armstrong won 7 TDFs. The previous record holder was 6 times. For someone to do that after surviving cancer is amazing. Even doing that once after surviving cancer would be remarkable. The TDF is not the only cycling event, but it is clearly the prestige event in cycling. Lance set the mark at 7 in that even and retired. The comparision would be Jack Nicklaus' 6 wins at the Masters. Jack retired from the PGA Tour. When you observe Tiger Wood's accomplishments, you must consider he's barely in his prime. The next nine to ten years are supposed to be Tiger's best. Tiger has 4 Masters Championships, but he's far from being done. He's tied with Alnold Palmer for second so far. Tiger is more dominant than Jack Nicklaus was in his day. Tiger is 3 years younger than Jack was when he won his fourth. Tiger had as many wins and as many major Championships as Jack did when Jack was about 3 years older than Tiger. At the rate he's going, Tiger will exceed every win record in golf before he's finished. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate.

I'd say, without hesitation, that Tiger is more dominant than Lance in their respective sports. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |

Tiger was having a bit of an off year. He played poorly following the death of his father, but he's bounced back strong. He was a front runner going into the first three of the last five tournaments he has won. The last two times, he's come from behind. To be three down to a future HOF golfer and win by two is awesome. He shot a final round 63, which is a great round under high pressure. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate.
