Whether you love or hate Tiger Woods, you have no choice but to respect him as an athlete.

Less than three years ago, Woods lost his golf game, his marriage, tens of millions of dollars in endorsement deals and an unparalleled level of public admiration that he had enjoyed for most of his life.

Woods has also fought off injuries, people second-guessing his swing changes and so-called “experts” saying that he would never win again.

All the while, Woods simply kept his head down, worked his tail off and has once again managed to dig a world-class golf game out of the dirt.

Woods' two-stroke victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational has officially moved him to the top of the World Golf Rankings for the 11th time in his career.  

If you have any interest in sports, or human perseverance in general for that matter, you cannot help but respect this type of accomplishment.   

Woods is an incredibly talented golfer, there’s no question about that. He’s also not the only incredibly talented golfer out there and some would even argue that guys like Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy have more natural talent than Woods.

But what separates Woods from the likes of Mickelson and McIlroy is his work ethic and drive to be the best.

McIlroy has been struggling with his game for several months, yet he has been hanging out around South Beach for two weeks instead of trying to regain his form. Even more importantly, he opted not to pay tribute to Arnold Palmer and everything Palmer has done for the game of golf by even showing up to his tournament.

Hence, Woods is now the new No. 1 player in the world and McIlroy will likely have a difficult time getting his game ready for Augusta.

Could you ever see Mickelson standing out in the 96-degree Florida heat, beating hundreds of golf balls on the range before going out to playing 36 holes?...
