This year Woods walked away with $10.5 million in tournament earnings, playing less golf than most guys on Tour. And to top it off, he won the FedEx Cup as well, so he gets to put another $10 million in the pot. But the figure that really makes the biggest difference is his earnings from off-course activities (bonuses, endorsements, “appearance fees” and course design).

So, seeing that he had accumulated $895 million by the end of last year, it’s only mathematical that he has passed the $1 billion mark.

And to think he’s got another 20 years in the tank... and probably another 30 years after that to work on course design. The Mole reckons his kids (Tiger’s, that is...) are going to have it tough...
