Woods and Keopka are in it, Woods at 30 and Koepka at 41. Not bad considering he was injured or not playing a good chunk of time?

meh...It's hard to compare "athletes" in different sports.   Are we only picking Champions?   They even included a horse!

There is also a recency bias in that list - Koepka has been great, but before 2017 he had wins in 1 PGA event, 1 European tour event and 2 Japanese tour events.
While Rory won 4 majors in the decade, and at least 16 other PGA/European tour events (using the OWGR as my source), so where is Rors on the list?
