65. Granted, but
someone like that comes along in every sport every 25 years or so. In golf, there was Jack Nicklaus and, before him, Arnold Palmer, and maybe some between Nicklaus and Woods that I'm not aware of.

But I am aware that Woods' effect on golf is largely because of his skin color, coupled with the fact that golf isn't a "black sport." But I'm not prepared to discuss what that says about our society. (Actually, I am — but this thread isn't about that.)

I have to wonder, though, if Arthur Ashe had a similar effect on tennis.
