Remember when golf wasn’t even considered to be a sport? (Still isn’t in some quarters.)
Well, the folks over at Men’s Fitness magazine have gone and named a pro golfer the fittest guy in America. I’m dead serious. Of the 25 ripped guys they featured, the golfer came out on top. I’m completely dumbfounded.
Here’s some of their rationale:
“Because he’s walking history. Because even the icons say he’s the best. Because he loves the gym. Because he’s the first golfer we’ve ever thought of as an athlete.”
“Because he made us care about a sport we didn’t think was, well, a sport.”
“For all these reasons, we recognize Tiger Woods as the 2008 Fittest Guy in America.”
OK, and he also made them think of golf as a sport. That’s cool, I guess.
All right, I think I get it. It’s because he’s the only golfer they consider to be an athlete.
So he’s super dedicated, the best who keeps getting better. Good.
