Christ you are an intolerable arsehole.
Massive, massive lack of self awareness from phil there I thought
I like darts and snooker, but haway man you can't compare Stephen Hendry or Phil Taylor to Pele, Federer or Ali
This is a great shout. Merckx achievements are unparalleled.
Only because any twerp can pick up a club and be half decent in about a week.
Is that not just the nature of golf though - its the ultimate "ball didn't roll my way today" sport. Hitting something 200 meters, and it landing an inch either side can be the difference.Competitiveness in that sport should play a major factor to. Not many sports when 50 + players have a genuine chance of winning the event like there is in golf
I dont believe anyone has been more dominant in a sport than Tiger Woods was from 1997-2009. Golf is easily the most competitive sport in the world.

You can only be so skilful, which gets you to the elite level - beyond that luck and "just having a good day" plays a big part.
For me, things like Steve Redgrave winning an olympic gold at 5 consecutive Olympics is just amazing. Then Bolt winning just about every sprinting major event for a decade, and being the fastest runner in history, by a canny margin.
Those are outstanding things. Woods isn't even the best golfer ever really (very close tbf).
Owt like this on the telly always ends up with Ali winning.
