It really is a tough one, picking one over the other. Arguments can be made on both sides as we've seen here.
What's more interesting is thinking about the "best of all time" in their sport discussion...both seem headed down that road but both have work left to do to eclipse their predecessors. During the telecast of the Aussie Open final the announcers were saying that Federer shys away from the "greatest ever" moniker at this point and lists all the achievements he needs to complete to be deserving of that kind of talk.
Another thing to ponder with these comparisons is the competition of the two. Is there really anybody else in tennis or golf right now who is even close to these guys? Not really. Seems like in past eras there was always rivalries that athletes like Jack Nicklaus, Bjorn Borg, etc...had to contend with.
If Tiger and Federer are on their game you can hand them the trophy in any event.
Good point... and it goes to just how incredible these two are now!

Yep.
