It's hard to say I will call it a toss up. We have a lot more data on Jordan than Tiger. The more Tiger wins the harder it will get, but he can do it

A few points to take note:
1) Tiger's ethnic group is the minority in his sports
2) Tiger didn't quit when his dad passed away.
3) Jordan completed his bachelor degree.
4) Jordan is a leader as a team captain.
5) Jordan came back from retirement, even he knows that the chance for winning is almost zero.
6) Both of them elevated the whole league and the popularity of the sports.
I still have to side Tiger, he changed his swing when he was winning, to be a better player. If he would have taken a personality test, he would be in the same category as Albert Einstein (INTP, MBTI).

Absolutely Tiger Woods. Golf is so intense and require so much more concentration. To achieve Tiger's success is almost inhuman. Jordon was a great athlete with great reflexes and possible the best BKB will ever know but it was predominantly based on talent not will. Woods has talent too and Jordon has great will but It is the physical nature of the sports than make them different. Jordon was probably the better athlete but don't underestimate Tiger athletic ability. Jordon was a pretty good amateur golfer at one time with a handicap around 6. I would bet Tiger could play a little BKB and would as successful as he wanted to be. They are both special.

Currently MJ, but Tiger has a bunch of years left in him

thats a tough one, um i'd say tiger because he has had to remain motivated which is hard to do in golf especially when everyone is so far from being competitive with him, I think it was easier for MJ to remain motivated because there were always criticizers and doubters as well as new kids coming up out of school and challenging him.

Jordan because he drove others around him to be better. Tiger only relies on himself. It is much harder to motivate other people to be better.
