Members of the Associated Press voted Tiger Woods the Athlete of the Decade.
From AP:
Even after a shocking sex scandal that tarnished Tiger Woods, it was tough to ignore what he achieved on the golf course.
He won 64 times around the world, including 12 majors, and hoisted a trophy on every continent golf is played. He lost only one time with the lead going into the final round. His 56 PGA Tour victories in one incomparable decade were more than anyone except four of golf's greatest players won in their careers.
Woods was selected Wednesday as the Athlete of the Decade by members of The Associated Press in a vote that was more about 10 years of performance than nearly three weeks of salacious headlines.
Just like so many of his victories, it wasn't much of a contest.
Woods can golf.
That's nice.
AP members voted him the Athlete of the Decade.
That's nice.
This bit of news will no doubt be fodder for the comedians on the late night shows. The jokes write themselves. The punch lines are so easy.
Woods can be showered with accolades about his performance on the golf course. If you care about golf, I suppose that impresses.
If character matters to you, then the honors fall flat.
Woods is not the Husband of the Decade.
Woods is not the Father of the Decade.
What do you admire about a person? What really matters in this life?

We are talking of Sports here and not of his personal life. Let us not get carried away with something that could have happened to any of us. To the over zealous and over religious: "Let him, who has not sinned, cast the first stone".
He deserves to be "ATHLETE OF THE DECADE" and this will NOT be his last!!!!!
