    It's sure not from his marketability either, is it? Without looking it up, please tell me what endorsements Tiger Woods has...name 5. Does he have a clothing line? His own shoes? Anything? If he does, they aren't very popular.
    Nike and Buick are all that I know of, and while they may pay him a lot, he isn't selling anything for them.

    Well you named two in Nike and Buick. He also has American Express commercials going right now. I know he also endorses TAG Hauer (sp?) watches. And he has his own video game, so I guess you could say he's endorsed by EA Sports.

    Then what do they pay him for? Just give him money for fun? Maybe it's a tax thing perhaps?

    Think before speaking.

    No kidding. Think before you speak. Tiger makes them tons of money. It's a business. They are making money hand over foot. Tiger keeps them at the top with the exposure. The product is almost irrelevant. His name positions the product. His name is not used to make people buy it, but to see it.

    You don't think Tiger decked out in Nike on Sunday at the Masters is pushing a few dollars Nike's way?

    You really must not get out much. Golf is one of the hottest sports going, and the PGA has a huge youth movement going on to get kids involved early. They also push the fact that almost all PGA professionals are "squeaky clean" (with the exception of John Daly). The purses for golf are huge, with the winner on most any Sunday getting over a million. If there wasn't viewership, these sponsors wouldn't be putting up that kind of money. 65 year olds don't rank that high on people that spend tons of money on equipment and wearables. If you play golf, you really appreciate how good these guys are, but if you don't, then I can understand how boring it might be to someone watching it on TV. Here are the rankings for the top 10 highest paid.

    The Top Ten
    Tiger Woods
    Michael Schumacher
    Peyton Manning
    Michael Jordan
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Kevin Garnett
    Andre Agassi
    David Beckham
    Alex Rodriguez
    Kobe Bryant

    Woods has been the highest paid US athelete for several years now. He made over $110 million last year, including endorsements. That's almost triple what Manning made...
