Most Recognized Person?

An ongoing debate between my father and I centers on this question: Who is the most well-known/recognized person in the world? George Bush? David Beckham? Barack Obama? All good bets, but we have come to the conclusion it's probably someone else: Tiger Woods.

He has been on the world stage for longer than Bush. Truly dominates a sport unlike Beckham. Also, he has the fascinating racial background of Obama. What do you think? Other ideas?

You may be right, but I have one doubt. It's true that Tiger Woods has completely dominated golf, but how many people across the world are highly interested in golf? To me it seems that more people would know Beckham simply because of how wide-spread the love of soccer is. I see how important soccer is to the Ecuadorians here (it's like their life!) and I know my family knows who Beckham is for sure although I'm not sure about Tiger Woods. Just an element I thought should be taken into account in this profound study. :P
