If he did, was everyone else not doping too? Why did he still win?

Yeah, that playing golf is grueling.
Most tiring part is trying to get the ice chest full of beer onto the golf cart.

Playing competitive golf at the highest levels is a lot more grueling than you believe.

Why does a person have to be out of breath at some point of a competition for it to be considered a sport? Golf takes athletic ability, there's absolutely no doubt about it.

No doubt about this.

Lefty and Daly weren't considered either

yes but from the list you provided, I'd only disagree about the NFL lineman and NBA. MLB pitchers are pretty close to golfers, but at least some of them have to run to first base.

Maybe, but an almost 60 year old almost won a major. You don't see that in any athletic sport.

Again, why does an activity have to cause you to lose your breath or require its participants to be in peak physical conidtion in order for it to be considered a sport? MLB pitchers are definitely athletic.

We're not talking about what is considered a sport. We're talking about what makes one athletic.

Lawn darts is a sport by definition. Golf is a sport. NASCAR is a motorsport. Hunting is a sport.

I was debating what I would consider an athlete.

riding a bike up a side of a mountain, going over 100 miles a day for a month is about as athletic as it gets



What armstrong did was MUCH better than what Tiger has done.
