Champion golfer Tiger Woods has won yet another title, The Fittest Guy in America, with Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama also making the list of America's 25 fittest men compiled by Men's Fitness magazine.
Woods, 32, was recognized as the winner of the 2008 title by the magazine, given credit for raising the image of golf, improving his game all the time.
The magazine said Woods was selected "because of his commitment to being the best and setting the bar, not just for other golfers, but for all athletes."
But Obama, 46, also made the annual list, praised for his stamina throughout the election campaign.
According to the magazine's editors, the Illinois senator "starts every day with a morning workout, whether it's machines at the hotel gym or a brisk 45-minute run" while his basketball skills had earned him the nickname "Barry O'Bomber."
Obama wasn't the only politician to make the list that it published on Monday. California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 61, a former action movie star and bodybuilder, was also featured.
Others to make the list included actors Will Smith, Brad Pitt, and Hugh Jackman, British footballer David Beckham, and skateboarders Tony Hawk and Ryan Sheckler.
British actor Daniel Craig, 40, the latest James Bond, also made the list after turning an entire soundstage on a London set into a personal gym to get in shape for the latest Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, that is due out later this year.
"I can only gauge (the film) by how much pain I'm in," Craig was quoted as saying during the shoot.
