What other athlete has been top of their sport for 10+ years.
Fed was number 1 for 4? years without being beaten. Tiger has been for 10? years without being overtaken or close to it. Phelps has been number 1 in swimming for 4? years since Thorpe retired (Thorpe usually did challenge Phelps quite well).
Woods is an amazing golfer that we will probably never see in our lifetime again. Phelps however, will have all his record swims broken the next time there is a championship where Woods records will take a while to break.
The only record Phelps holds that will take a long time to break is his Olympic medals for swimming.
Woods the whole way for me as a better athlete and competitor.

Phelps is a hack. My friend's brother's girlfriend beat him in a 15 metre dash
People are severely underestimating how good Woods is. The dude wins nearly every major tournament he enters in fields of over 100. When he has an opponent closing in on him, it makes him even better. Also i bet there is a **** load more people trying to be professional golfers than there are people trying to be swimmers.

Woods by a fairway.
I'll get my coat.
But seriously, Woods has dominated for 10 years, and will dominate for the next 10 years at least, best there ever was, best there ever will be.

Just a question, how many pro golfers in the world opposed to pro swimmers? Golf is a hell of a lot more popular worldwide than swimming.
Phelps is very good (how many of his golds were relays? 3 or 4?), but he is absolutely nowhere near Tiger. If he wins 8 golds at each of the next 2 olympics, then I may reconsider.

Woods for what he's achieved over a longer period in his sport.
slater.. 8 times world champ, soon to be 9..
phelps just has to peak for a 2 week period then not be under the pump for 4 years... golf/surfing you have to be a gun for a prolonged period of time... phelps doesn't even come close...

Ridiculous poll.
Woods by a mile.
- Has won over $760 million in earnings.
- Won 14 Major Championships (2nd of all time)
- Won 65 PGA Championships (3rd of all time)
- More career wins than any active golfer
- Held #1 title for longest consecutive and cumulative weeks
- PGA Player of the Year record 9 times
- Holds record low 72 hole record for all 4 majors
Thats only half his records.
He is only 32. 32. He could play for another 10-15 years.
No doubt Phelps records are impressive, but in my opinion they dont stand up to that. Swimming WR get broken at a fairly consistent rate and every 4 years theres a new golden swimming child who breaks all the records and takes the world by storm. Woods dominance has happened twice maybe 3 times in the history of golf.
not even close.

Phelps isn't in the same galaxy as Woods.
