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.
