With that said, I don't consider any of them listed athletes, IMO an athlete is someone with physical gifts that not everyone has, like arm strength, speed, ability to jump, etc.

This is where golf is kind of tricky. Do you think anyone can be as good as Tiger Woods? His accuracy is unparalleled, his drives longer than most on the tour, but why? Do you think its physical ability, or mental?
Perhaps its a special kind of physical ability, an ability not of strength but of pure precision. Surely there's some sort of physical gift with being able to swing a golf club at 130mph while still hitting the ball with a club on the same exact spot consistently. I can understand anyone saying golf isn't a real sport cause it is kind of sketchy, but to me, that talent is a physical talent, and its one not everyone has or can achieve.
