... Now Luke Donald as #3 in the world is a little hard to swallow.
Agreed that Kymer is a much more legitimate #1. Westwood as #1 was a bad joke.
For a bit of balance go look up the carreer stats of everyone in the top 10. ... No doubt at all who the best active golfer on the planet is no matter how much some people hate him.

For a bit of balance go look up the carreer stats of everyone in the top 10. Look at Majors won, Tournaments Won, Top 10s and Top 25s. Its Shocking. No doubt at all who the best active golfer on the planet is no matter how much some people hate him.
I've said it before, but once more will not hurt. I do NOT hate Tiger. What I do hate is how the powers that be, and the talking heads during televised golf coverage, and the writers in the magazines all but drop to their knees and slob on his knob. If he was in the lead, the cameras never came off him, do they do that with any other player? No they do not. And even now, as long as he is in the feild, the cameras follow him excessively, or they are comparing another golfer to Tiger. Such as showing a shot by whoever, then showing how Tiger performed the same shot years ago.
Before he bulked up, changed his swing a couple of times, got injured, and then destroyed his reputation, he was on track to become the greatest golfer ever. I will willingly concede that.
But............
He did bulk up, he did tinker with his swing too much, he did get injured, and he most certainly destroyed his reputation. Along the way he lost the intimidation factor, and apparently his self confidence. Will he ever regain his super powers? Only time will tell, but at this time, he is not a top 5 player, and certainly not numero uno.
