I believe this qualifies as dramatic irony.........

“Woods voted top athlete of the decade
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
By DOUG FERGUSON, AP Golf Writer

ThisEven after a shocking sex scandal that tarnished Tiger Woods, it was tough to ignore what he achieved on the golf course.

He won 64 times around the world, including 12 majors, and hoisted a trophy on every continent golf is played. He lost only one time with the lead going into the final round. His 56 PGA Tour victories in one incomparable decade were more than anyone except four of golf’s greatest players won in their careers.

Woods was selected Wednesday as the Athlete of the Decade by members of The Associated Press in a vote that was more about 10 years of performance than nearly three weeks of salacious headlines.

Just like so many of his victories, it wasn’t much of a contest.

Woods received 56 of the 142 votes cast by AP member editors since last month. More than half of the ballots were returned after the Nov. 27 car accident outside his Florida home that set off sensational tales of infidelity.........:

Oh, it all makes sense now, you’re a slobbering Tiger Fanboy.

Wonder how he would have fared without the Performance Enhancing Drugs, include that when you post his resume.

His resume should include how in the decade he went from scarecrow to NFL Linebacker, his body transformation is actually MORE AMAZING than any Golf Resume you can throw around.

If he did it without drugs Tiger will be the Jonas Salk of our time, making incredible scientific breakthroughs, future cancer patients will be able to use his amazing muscle gaining methods, all without illegal drugs!!!!!
