Very tough indeed, but I'm going with Mr. Woods.

It looks like a nine iron shot from there Mr. Woods...

I would hate to see either one denigrated. The sports are so different. Roger is like a boxer who beats an opponent into submission. His athletic skills combine with his personal dominance of an opponent. While Tiger's excellence may intimidate and depress his opposition, he is still essentially "fighting" himself and the golf course.

Both are athletes the like of which has seldom been seen before.

Tiger for now, but if Roger keeps it up for 2-3 more years, and sets some all-time records I might say Federer.

Honorable mention to soon to be Super Bowl champ, Peyton Manning.

Given the number of PGA tour professionals who on any given weekend could win by virtue of a hot putter, I would have to say Tiger Woods is the dominate athlete. 5 years from now Federer will be gasping for breath as he battles an up and coming 24 year old while Tiger Woods will still be playing strong.

Sorry to be a pain (really), but I'm wondering if you can add a little to the title so that it reads:

Who Is the More Dominant Performer? - (Woods, Federer Dazzle)

Thank you .......

According to Mrs. L my performance is usually beyond reproach. Unless of course I've been drinking.

Now if she's been drinking my performance level improves beyond my ordinarily extraordinary capabilities.

Oh...you're not talking about that.

Never mind.

Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better – Pat Riley

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. – Aristotle

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. – Denis Waitley

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. – Og Mandino

Every production of genius must be the production of enthusiasm. – Benjamin Disraeli

It’s a very funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. – William Somerset Maugham

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle

Fed is much more dominant than the Tiger.

However...Tiger is in a tougher sport.
