There’s no doubt whatsoever that he would beat me at golf head-to-head 1,000 out of 1,000 times, but Tiger Woods as a casual sports fan has always kind of puzzled me a bit. He very well may be the greatest athlete of his generation, and yet, he seems so clueless and/or apathetic about the other major sports out there.
Every year USA Today does a feature on the “most difficult thing to do in sports.” Every year, hitting a fastball as a batter in baseball is voted as the most difficult thing to do in sport. I have never hit a major league fast ball, but I have been beaned by “high-school heat” and it hurts so I have to assume that hitting a major league caliber pitcher MUST be difficult.
But I am willing to bet that I have found something more difficult. Or at least something that, statistically, IS more difficult.
