Tiger's "promotional fee"

Tiger lost, he played like shit today, this is not too surprising. I'll leave it at that. In other news It was reported that Tiger Woods received 55.4 million dollars up front to promote a golf course under development in the UAE. This is all part of a contract where he will receive a total of 70 million dollars once the course is finished and has Tigers name attached in some way. All he had to do was show up and do a few promotional gimmicks. The course is not even finished yet and the construction is postponed due to the current market conditions.

Can you believe this? Do you think anyone's name is worth 70 million dollars? That is quite an astonishing amount of money and when asked about it Tiger had no comment...















Thought this picture was fitting as Tiger gets about a 100 million dollars a year from Nike. Tiger is the highest endorsed athlete in any sport.

  4. Do what you need to do to make that dolla. Tiger used to get it by playing golf. Now he just sleeps with hookers, hacks the ball, and smiles.

  7. Huh.. and Golf is one of the least watched sports for me. I'd like to try playing it some time but I don't imagine it'd be fun for a spectator unless you were semi-pro yourself.
