Tiger wasn’t playing for multimillions upon signing up either. All of the money in the game of golf is solely because of Tiger.

The purse at the masters when Tiger won in 1997 was $486,000 for the winner. It was $1,305,000 for the winner in 2007. Wonder what made it go up so much

Woods, now 48, signed a five-year, $40 million deal with Nike as a young phenom in 1996. A five-year, $100 million contract followed in 2001, and his next pact with the athletic-goods giant was worth $320 million over eight years.Feb 12, 2024



Yeah, starvation wages I tell you. Poor woods….he sure had to worry about his next meal for sure.


If the old school guys didn’t perform they went to work, if woods had a bad day he went to Disney world…a good bit of difference there..
