After watching him perform during his record-setting season, he is now a personal favorite. He is a lethal competitor. What money he does make is completely deserved. He doesn't get paid a yearly salary to play on the PGA Tour. That's the beauty of individual sports.
All money earned is performance-based.
There also isn't an equivalent of the Yankees to spoil golf. Tiger is a legend and a cultural phenomenon. I hope every sports fan gets a chance at some point to watch him in action. He is a testament to dedication, determination, excellence and sportsmanship. You da man, Tiger.
