wtf? federer should be it

i don't mind tiger being named athlete of the decade, i'm just not big on considering golf much of an "athletic" sport. Patriots were named team of the decade so it would be fitting if brady (NE's best player/ future HOFer) was athlete of the decade

FINE TIGER WOODS CAN HAVE ATHLETE OF THE DECADE. OH, BUT FEDERER GETS ATHLETE OF THE CENTURY.

@pauloolem yeah, if it includes football (what we call Soccer) one of those players should be athlete of the decade. Outside the USA, Football is KING.

@chrisr291 by the way, do you know that "the athlete of the decade" involves other sports such as football and tennis that are way more popular than golf, golf is only watched in the us mate! i loive in asia, nobody knows woods here and asia represents like 2/5 of the humanity, i'm from europe and only a very few people play gold there... and gold is barely a sport actually, and doesn't require any athletic abilities...

I would've been better if an athlete that plays a more physically demanding sport won this award.

He is an athlete and hes a beast. Golf is a huge athletic sport, all the new golfers are in tip top shape. And it's one of the hardest if not the hardest sport ever

He is one of the great athlete of this current dark decade and age. When you realize the standard of a true multiple disciplined athlete, the likes of Tiger is put to SHAME.

[jurbina15]

I agree.

Keep his fucking personal life personal.

Why not Tiger? He has done more for sports then Tom Brady. Brady sucks..... Besides he is already beginning to fall apart.  Everyone watches golf for Tiger, only a few people watch football for the Patriots.
