You’re Nuts: Who is the best athlete over 40 years old of all-time?

Despite being 50 years old, Phil Mickelson proved he can still run with the youngsters over the weekend, taming the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island to win the PGA Championship. That got us wondering who is the best athlete to compete after turning 40.

While there is a very obvious Buckeye who has excelled in his sport after turning 40, we figured it’d be too easy to pick Jack Nicklaus. We also have excluded Tom Brady from this question because who really wants to side with a Michigan Man? Brett especially doesn’t want to have to argue in favor of Tom Brady after what the Patriots did to the Bills with Brady at quarterback for nearly two decades.
