Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.Some GOAT s dominated rivals within their sports for long stretches of time. Other GOAT s were so influential they ended up changing their sport. So when we are narrowing down the very greatest of the GOAT s, you have to look to the rare collection of people who did both. And when it comes to the alpha of that exclusive club, it’s impossible to go past Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.Woods was part superstar golfer, part cultural phenomenon.
The son of an African-American father and a Thai mother, he showed himself to be a prodigy from an early age, and after a star amateur career, there was feverish hype around Woods’ potential when he went pro as a 20-year-old in 1996.

Since 1900, only two majors have been won by a double-digit margin: Woods in the 1997 Masters, and Woods (by 15) at the 2000 US Open. You could go on and o
