Who says Golf is boring?
Michael Jordan is not even playing anymore and he still ranks up there. Amazing.
Yea our society does work in very weird ways. I am still waiting for my first million.
Ah and you have to remember that most of that money comes from endorsements. Tiger endorses not only sports equipments but cars, credit cards… you name it.
I still think they make way too much money for what they do.
I know this is all based on endorsements, but they should show what they make only in their sport. Tiger only makes about $10 mill a year (if that) from golf. I know I said only $10 mill, but that isnt that much compared to other athletes in other sports.
Shit…the most lucrative event in sports (World Series of Poker) just paid out $5 million to some nobody! and 3 or 4 more people each got a million or more!!
