    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.
