Makes $90 million per year from endorsements alone. I would have never guessed it could be that high. I would have guessed about half that.

That is a lot of money. He is, however, the biggest and most widely known name in sports. He also has a clean image. How's that workin' for ya' Kobe?

hacker will be a billionaire in a few years.. i wonder what he pays out each year for agents, handlers , bodyguards , pilots, assistants , house sitters.

i'll bet his yearly nut is around 12 to 15 million..

Must suck only being able to bank about 80-90 million per year after paying bills.

Sports Ill did an article a couple of years ago stating that Tiger would be the first billionaire athlete. And from what I've read he doesn't blow a lot of money either.

other than buying some nice toys , like a yacht , he invests in real estate development..

he and ernie els are teaming up in bermuda i believe to build a huge golf resort with home sites.

i had a former girlfriend about six years ago, who is an excellent golfer and avid fan. her take on tiger's endorsements at that time (i think he had just the nike deal then), was since he has all this other money, it takes pressure off him to win. i agree. can't argue with his talents and accomplishments, but he can focus on just certain tournaments (like he says, the majors). and by the way, in my opinion, the pressure sunday wasn't on tiger. it was on demarco. demarco needed a major more than tiger.

Illini · Apr 12, 2005

couldn't agree more, Hawkeye. He is set, so this is recreation for him. No pressure at all.

WorldNumberOne · Apr 12, 2005

certainly their isnt any financial pressure on tiger to play well , but i still think their is a huge ammount of other types...

like living up to his own legacy at this point. like silencing all the critics about swing changes and will they work. like getting back to trying to catch jack's 18 majors.

the guy wants to dominate and their is always pressure to try and do that.

their is also some pressure in not blowing leads.

i think he has the same mindset as jordan.

jordan once said when he was asked why he played so hard every night , "because their might be some kid watching that has never seen me play "

he might have stole that from dimaggio...

Have to disagree, Tiger likes to win as well just for competition sakes. From what I hear, he is very competitive hence his emotionally outburst when making a mistake on the golf course.

Forbes listed Michael Schumaker as the biggest earner last year at $83 mill and Tiger second at $80 mill. So if his tour earning were around $7 mill then the rest is endorsements. Of course that goes up every year and his Nike deal is $25 mill alone in 2005.

pga tour earnings were around 7 mil.. the dude gets 2 or 3 million for showing up overseas... i'll bet his actual on the course earnings exceded 20 million last year.

His winless streak in golf's majors is at seven and counting, but Tiger still managed to win his fifth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award in 2003. Despite his recent stumbles on the fairways, it's still good to be Tiger. He's the world's number one ranked player, earns $70 million a year in endorsements and is about to marry Swedish former nanny/model Elin Nordegren

Maybe so, but it's all about golf. Other guys have to win or they go home without getting paid. He has a huge advantage.

max1234 · Apr 12, 2005

He was raised to WIN.... the money is just a by-product of winning. If he really wanted to make more cash he'd do all of the 'silly season' stuff and play more overseas than he does now.It's about winning to the elite players... Hogan, Nicklaus, Jordan, etc. They had a desire to dominate their competition because they hated to lose. What separates Tiger from Phil is you don't see Tiger saying 'wow, I played well and being second ain't that bad' like Phil's done a couple of times.

I don't disagree. But it's easier to perform if you know that there are zero consequences if you choke.

i'm sure being a gazillionaire doesnt hurt , but understand this , 176 guys made over $ 250,000 on the pga tour last year.

their isnt anybody out there thats hurting all that bad...

1/2 of all the exempt players made over $ 1,000,000 ...

very few of them are worrying about the money..
