I don't know, but I'm sure you can look it up.
I do know that Fed won 15 majors since 2003. Tiger won 6 since 2003.

There is no way you can tell me that Tiger can be the most dominant athlete in the world when he hasn't won more majors than other golfers in his sport.

tennis and golf aren't comparable. You have a much shorter span to do damage in tennis (probably only 8 or so years), but it's possible to have a much higher win percentage than in golf where you can win for a couple decades.

uh I'm talking about Tiger winning 14 majors < Jack's 18
Fed's 15 > Pete's 14

uh, tiger is 33. jack was 46 when he won 18. what tiger has done in his lifetime to this point is more impressive than what any other sports person has done in his / her sport (relative to age and career length). golf is not a sport that lends itself to be dominated. tennis does. if you cant appreciate tiger, you are gay.

Nice comeback

you took it seriously.
do you really think tiger is not in the same league as federer, phelps, etc. or do you just hate him that much?

Same league..yes.
"THE most dominant athlete ever" like you and so many others seem to think..no.

what's more impressive is that the gap between Tiger and the 2nd best is bigger than the gap between the 2nd best pro golfer and the last ranked pro golfer.

How much more can you dominate your sport than win the title 3 straight times? How can you say not in same ball park?
