"career earnings" is used for what a player wins in tournaments, nothing else. If you want to say "Tiger is a billionaire" fine. But to say he's reached $1 billion in career earnings implies he's won that much at tournaments. And he hasn't.
i just used the first line of the article. i agree that it could be misleading.

either way, no other athlete has earned $1B in his career. who would have thought a golfer would before jordan.

tiger might not be a billionaire. what the article is saying is that tiger has been paid $1B for his services / achievements (prize money, endorsements, appearance fees, course design). it has nothing to do with his net worth being $1B.

I want to see what Lebron ends up getting from NY or any other team. Tiger might not be the only billionaire soon.

If it weren't for golf, he wouldn't have nearly that amount of money!!!
Not like half of it came from bartending at night...

jordan and schumacher are the only ones that can get there in the next 5 years.

even with his new contract, it will probably take him another 10 years. fwiw, over the last 3 years tiger earned $325M and lebron earned $105M.
