After winning the last two majors, I think it's pretty clear that this guy has golf by the balls. Not to mention the people at ESPN seem to think so. Any opinions on this?
clearly not...the most dominant man in any given sport at the moment is quite clearly Asafa Powell
Golf is much harder to utterly dominate in my opinion. Tennis, if you're the best, you're the best. No one is close to Federer's skill set (except Nadal on clay). But golf requires much more concentration and constant precision to be the best consistently.
I think we're looking at the best and most dominant athlete we've seen since Jordan, and one of the best athletes in an individual sport (i.e. not on a team) ever.
Lefty's as good as any of the competition Nicklaus had. Golf is as strong as its ever been. Federer has only been dominant because he doesn't have a foil (like Sampras did with Agassi). But unlike Roger, who happens to be great but is also playing at a time when the competition is relatively weaker, Tiger is just that much better than anyone else who has ever played.
...I'm a Mickelson fan, so this is upsetting to me. But you're right. He's as close to unstppable as golf (or pretty much any sport) will ever see.

asafa powell is the worlds fastest sprinter...he has hit the world record of 9.77 seconds for the 100 metres 3 times this year
his last race he hit a 9.99 despite still figdeting in the block and getting ready when the gun went
given that justin gaitlin was his only real opposition and he is facing a life ban for failing 2 drug tests
that leaves powell way ahead of anyone else and it doesnt look like anyone will be beating him any time soon
here he is kicking everyone's collective ass at gateshead this year
