Recently in the world of Professional Golf, Tiger Woods earnings have surpassed $1 billion. He attained this after finishing third in the Deustche Bank Championship on Monday, and earning a total of $544,000. Tiger Woods has been enjoying this success ever since he joined the PGA tour in 1996. The only two people who come close to Tiger’s earnings are Michael Jordan and Michael Schumacher.
Michael Jordan, having a Nike endorsement, annually earns $45 million.
Schumacher, an accomplished race car driver has earned a total of $700 million in his career, which began with his Formula 1 debut in 1991. These numbers still don’t even come close to how much money Tiger has obtained in just the past 16 years. These earnings have a lot to do the times we are living in. Where athletes earn millions every year for just showing up to a game. I think we need to get back to when athletes didn’t earn huge amounts of cash and they genuinely enjoyed playing the game.
