AP Names Tiger Woods Athlete Of The Decade

Doug Ferguson writes:

Woods was selected Wednesday as the Athlete of the Decade by members of The Associated Press in a vote that was more about 10 years of performance than nearly three weeks of salacious headlines.

Just like so many of his victories, it wasn't much of a contest.

Woods received 56 of the 142 votes cast by AP member editors since last month. More than half of the ballots were returned after the Nov. 27 car accident outside his Florida home that set off sensational tales of infidelity.

Divorce settlement of the decade? His bud Michael Jordan's settlement was 168 million. That was for 18 years of marriage.

There's some speculation for the Woods' in WSJ.
