Tiger Woods is officially a Billion, not million, dollar man !
According to Forbes, Woods beat Michael Jordan to the punch with a $10 million deal from FedEx, which pushes his earnings over the billion mark.
“Forbes has been tracking athlete earnings since before Tiger turned pro. Woods had earned a cumulative $895m going into 2009, by our estimates, from prize money, appearance fees, endorsements, bonuses and his golf course design business. If you add his $10.5m in 2009 prize money, the FedEx bonus and his take so far this year from his more than $100m in annual off-the-course earnings, Woods’ career earnings are now 10 figures.”
