Who is the Worlds Richest Athlete – Tiger Woods
Despite suffering badly in 2009 with allegations of cheating and various mistresses, Tiger Woods still remains not only the richest athlete in the world – but easily the most marketable athlete.
Some will be surprised, after his marriage problems and breakdown with Elin Nordegren – but despite all this, the marketability of Woods remains unmatched in a recent survey.
Following closely behind Tiger Woods as a most marketable sportsperson, is LeBron James of NBA fame then soon after was another golfer in Phil Mickelson.
Woods is currently off the PGA tour and under the radar, with reports suggesting he is in sex rehabilitation clinics in the USA.
Other breaking news, suggests the estranged wife Elin Nordegren could be thawing out and may be ready to work things out for the sake of the kids. Even if Woods and his wife remain ‘live-in’ friends – sources around Nordegren suggest this could be the best to be achieved for the family.
While Tiger Woods has lost several big name sponsors and corporate backers, just like Bill Clinton – a famous person can power through a tough period and of course everyone makes mistakes. This won’t be the end of Woods and he should remain the worlds richest athlete and a large earner from sports golf wins and sponsorship dollars from around the world.
