Tiger is freakishly athletic in a sport which has so many out of shape slobs in it like John Daly, Tim Herron and Phil Mickelson, all of which are consistently near the top of the leaderboard in major tournaments.

Phil did look heavy at the PGA...Tiger's the only one who stays properly motivated, and brings it every time, plus he does thrive under pressure...one time the first tee was in front of an open clubhouse and everyone was watching me tee off, I missed the ball like 5 times in a row, men, ladies, children, were all laughing at me (and pointing), it really took me back to high school...but I'm not bad when nobody's watching...in a PGA event I'd have a panic attack and throw my club in the air and then jump in a water hazard
it's a game of tremendous skill and concentration, I just prefer a Jordan who competed against athletes in the prime physical shape of their lives
