2010…..A Costly One For Tiger Woods
No
w while he isn’t exactly tight for cash, Tiger Woods is certainly enduring a less prosperous 2010 than most other previous years. Of course, his divorce is yet to be completely finalized but on top of that, the Associated Press have just announced that he has lost $22 million in endorsements. Here is the press release:
“NEW YORK — Tiger Woods’ estimated endorsements for 2010 are worth $22 million less than last year, according to Sports Illustrated’s annual analysis of the highest-earning American athletes.
Woods is still No. 1 on the list, as he has been for the rankings’ seven years. But his estimated total earnings of more than $90 million are down 30 percent from nearly $128 million two years ago.
Rival Phil Mickelson is again No. 2 with total earnings of more than $61 million. His estimated endorsement income is $52 million, compared with $70 million for Woods.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and Dwyane Wade round out the top 10.” Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press
Aw well, I guess he will have to make do with $90 million per year, not exactly at the beans and toast situation just yet…….until maybe his ex-wife deservedly gets her claws out (I know I know, less of the puns!!)
