Tiger Woods was voted Athlete of the Decade, picking up 56 of the 142 votes cast, and more than half of those ballots were returned after the car accident in late November that set in motion the 33-year-old's downfall. In the last decade Woods won 12 majors, winning in total 64 times in the last ten years, playing in tournaments all across the world. He captured the Grand Slam on three separate occasions, and won the US Open on a leg that was later revealed to be so badly fractured that the golfer had to have knee surgery. Woods was No. 1 for all but 32 weeks of the decade.
