    I consider Tiger to be the best human being to ever play golf.

    As far as a full blooded Asian (I think we are all related in one way or the other, so I am making a broad assumption) over the last 5 or 6 years, V.J. Singh has always been nipping at Tiger's heals or vice versa.

    Maybe I could be wrong, but V.J. seems to be the most consistent player on the PGA week in and week out, season in and season out while Tiger is obviously the best golfer in a category of his own when Tiger is on particularly his awesome 2000 season or the 63 the other day,

    when you consider Tiger is more Asian than any other nationality given his mother and fathers backgrounds (father was less than full blood African American 50% african American, 25%Chinese, 25% American Indian and his mother is 50%Thai, 25% Chinese, 25% Dutch) then yes...he is without a doubt the best asian to play the game (that would make Tiger 25% Chinese, 25% Thai, 25% african american, 12.5% american indian and 12.5% Dutch)

    'score1952', hate to break it to you but Vijay Singh is also a black player. He may not be of African descent but he's definitely a black player as his complexion is a shade darker than Wesley Snipes. I doubt the Klan would give Vijay a free pass because he's 'asian.'

    Considering he's only...what....a 'quarter' asian....(1/4)...not sure I'd really want to classify Tiger under just one ethnicity...I would consider him the best Golfer RIGHT NOW....but 'not all time'...at least not until he's got 19 MAJOR TITLES under his belt! :-)
