Easily Usain Bolt.

Start a YT channel racing people. Work your way up to Usain Bolt and tie him.

You'd be remembered for at least 50 years after your death and you'd have a ton of sponsorship opportunities.

Nothing gets people riled up like world class speed.

As others have said, golf. Enter in a qualifier and you can almost immediately start making millions of dollars. I feel like most other sports it would take longer to show/ get to the highest level. Jon Rahm has already made $14.5 million in course earnings in 2023.

An interesting element to this is how would you get noticed?

Regardless of how good you are, who will give you a chance to even show it?

You didn't list golf, but there is at least an Open mechanism for entering tournaments and qualifying for majors. If you were the best golfer, you could get known quick. The others, I have my doubts that anyone would even give you chance.

If I wake up with prime Tiger Woods talent I hit up the very next US Open qualifier I can get to and qualify for a major.

Then sign a LIV golf contract. Winning regularly for 5 years on LIV + majors (assuming it lasts) you'd have a higher career winnings total than a guy like Rory McIlroy who has been on tour for 13 years.

Considering 3 of the top 5 athletes any given year are soccer players I would choose that.


I wonder if USL teams hold open tryouts. Someone as good as Messi would rocket up the ladder in America and would be in Europe fairly quickly

Signing a baseball contract! If I can pitch, hit dingers and steal bases......


If I know I only have 5 years I sign 1 year deals until the last year of my abilities. Then I sign a massive 10 year deal.

Golf and its not close

The lifestyle of playing golf year round, at resorts and courses in peak shape, with mostly perfect weather, cannot be beat.

Throw in the money, and the fact there's no long term hardcore injuries other than some knee/back stuff, and you cannot beat it.

This is the OT. Most posters have 3/4 of those so it would only be marginal improvement.

Prime Barry Bonds would probably get $250M on a 5 year deal right now, so I'd go baseball.

Are you saying I could easily win gold in the high jump, long jump, 100m, 5000m, pole vault, etc., in the next Olympics at my age? Cause I'm pretty sure I'd do that. And win every tennis grand slam too for the cash.
