Yes, I would have to disagree here also. I think the world is definitely aware of Tiger Woods. Maybe not golf so much, but definitely Tiger. Whether Michael Jordan has a bigger following in China...who knows. I would say, however, without looking at stats and polls, because of Tiger's Asian heritage that gives him some credibility.

Guy, I think your point is well taken about golf not being that exciting which to me makes Tiger even more of an icon. Many that hold the same sentiment will tune in in a heart beat just to see what Tiger did on any given day.
