Nope. I think it will be 30 in a few months.

The fact that he has lost that control of the media has got to be killing him right now.

Kind of ironic that he might not only have lost the yacht, but also what it was named after....

Maybe AFTER he became almost as big as the game....but it was all created by his handlers, media and the fans.

Since when does driving a Lincoln, wearing a Tag watch, drinking Gatorade and wearing Nike clothing show that you are morally good or bad?

me thinks the ap writers gave cheetah this award to appease him.

Where they voting for athletes ATHLETICS ACCOMPLISHMENTS or how good of a role model they have been? The ONLY person in that list you have that has COMPLETELY dominated their sport is Lance Armstrong.

makes sense to me - both on the course and off the course!

a great athlete to win 64 tournaments on the course and bed over a dozen women off and apparently with the vigor of an athlete at that!

Let's try not to get our personal feeling wrapped up in this.

Tiger has won more tournaments this decade than most golfers have won in an entire career! He's more than worthy of this award. What he has done in his personal life was not and should not have been part of the deciding factor.

puhjols won 3 mvp awards, summitt won 3 national championships and johnson has won 4 consecutive sprint cup championships. and yes, the award is based on athletic accomplishment. i find it rather amusing that more than half of the votes were submitted after woods' traffic accident.

And Tiger Woods won 56 PGA Tournaments in this decade, including 12 Majors and finished #1 on the Money List in 7 of the last 10 years.

CHECK MATE!

possibly with help?

sorry, i'm not discrediting his accomplishments. but even if his image was still squeeky clean, he doesn't get my vote.

imho, golf is more a mental game than physical. and yes, that does defeat he may have won many of those tourneys on juice.

i think winning 7 straight tour de france's is far more physically demanding than playing 4 days of golf. i think driving a very heavy stock car is far more physically
demanding than playing golf.

using your analogy, then roger fedderer (apologies for spelling) has equivalent accomplishments.

my point is there were several more athlets who actually participate in a physically demanding sport that were worthy of consideration.

the fact that most of the ap sports writers cast their vote after the beginning of woods' scandal is not a coincidence.
