58331621He’s by far the best golfer in the world, and maybe in history; his presence in the course, no matter which one, drags a wave of respect and sometimes fear, thanks to his magnificent game and his mental strength. He’s the only PGA player who has won more than 3 times this year, that’s why he leads in earnings.

Forbes published that Tiger Woods is the first athlete to cross the 1 billion mark, which includes: prize money, appearance fees, endorsements, bonuses and golf course designing.This year Woods has made 100 million dollars in off the course earnings

Other athletes close to the feat are Michael Jordan, who might accomplish it in four years or so, and former Formula One driver, Michael Schumacher, who has earned around 700 million during his career.

So, no worries Sam, Charlie and Elin… your future has been secured!.
