Tiger is $$$$$$
June 20th, 2007 by Olaf Bound.sIt’s difficult to explain the phenomenon that Tiger is. Some people have complained about his appearance fees and others seem to be a bit green eyed at his wealth. After all isn’t he just a golfer? The answer is yes and he happens to be so good that he has brought so much attention for golf. But others are reaping the benefits as well. Who?
- The first tee – this programme was the first of many initiated by Tiger and has help many youngsters find a way in life. Who says you can’t be rich and nice?
- Fellow professionals – before his arrival, the purse for tournaments is only 1/3 of the winnings today. That’s a fact! Ask Nick Faldo, he’ll gladly tell you!
- Golf courses around the world – since his arrival, the number of golfers have sprung up by millions.
- Mere mortals like you and me – how many have taken up the game to try to be a Tiger or to have a tiger swing?
Those are just examples! Others include Elin, his mom and his biggest beneficiary Steve Williams (Yes, his caddy). So before anyone can start jumping on him, think of what he has accomplished in his few years. Me, I think he is worth his every dime! Go Go Tiger!
I agreed totally with you. he work so hard for it since young. He deserved all the $$$
for his exceptional talents. Many other people gains too.
Like Mike Tyson, Don King make millions out from Tyson and he is now a bankrupt.
