I'm just saying what Bolt and Phelps achieved in these olympics is much more impressive than what Tiger has done, mainly because golf isn't much of a sport. I mean you don't have to be in shape or be very young to be competitive and all you have to do is compete against a golf course.
Yes, you just rephrased exactly what I took issue with. Let me try to be more clear and see if we can come together here: In terms classic athleticism (strength, speed, etc), Tiger is much less impressive than Bolt or Phelps. In terms of how extraordinary Tiger's talent is relative to humanity, regardless of in what category you classify Tiger's talent, he's right up there with on the shortlist of sporting greats. Can we agree on that?
