I think my kids will start at the range very very soon.

And to make this OT and not MSB....Tiger Woods got less, so it must be racist.

My son is one. Leaving work to buy clubs now. He will learn to putt before he learns to run.

Good. I thought he looked silly with that "O" in the middle of his shirts.

The guy might end up vying for tiger and jack for 18 majors but 200 mil for the dude is hard to believe. Great golfers with no extra selling point (being multiracial, being super good looking, being the golf course bad boy, etc) than being a great golfer just can't be worth THAT kind of money.

IAS, Nike Golf pretty much didnt exist when Tiger signed his first deal. They've taken care of Tiger pretty well over the years, including not dropping him during the whole bitches-gate thing.

Worth is what someone is willing to pay - in this case 200M.

Up until this thread I don't think I had ever heard of Rory Mcllroy's name.

How long is the deal for? Rory could go down as the GOAT when it's all said and done. He will be the face of the sport for the next 20 years. $200 mil is a huge number, but I don't see it as hard to believe.

ETA: His marketability in Europe is huge.

The company is worth almost $11 billion. I think they know what they're doing.
