She got the house, kids, and $750 million

While i agree with you that playing a sport which most people play while drunk should not be worth a billion dollars i have no problem with him getting paid that amount, as long as he is being paid that amount through the private sector.

If people are willing to buy enough of the stuff he endorses to make Tiger worth a billion dollars then i say "more power to him."

I dont have a problem with ANYONE, making obscene amounts of money, as long as it doesnt come from people who were never even willing participants in the equation to begin with.
Quote from peilthetraveler:

What sounds high to me is making a billion dollars for hitting a ball into a hole. If someone had told any one of us 20 years ago that someone would make a billion dollars playing golf, we wouldve laughed at them. Todays outrageous 750 million dollar divorce settlement is tommorrows average celebrity divorce settlement.

Why stop there? Why pay $100 million over 5 years for a guy who throws a ball thru a hoop or $18 mil a year to a guy who throws a little white ball into a glove...Truly ridiculous logic.

Maybe if you can convince the millions of fans of the sport to stop watching it on tv, going to events, purchasing the golf equipment that it's idiotic, then you'll get somewhere.

As far as 20 years prior goes, the same argument could be made as to why all of these NBA free agents are signing 5 year $100-$120 million dollar contracts in this economy. Heck, what was Larry Bird, MJ or Magic Johnson making in 1990?

Its a shame. Woods was possibly black folks last hope for a morally uncorruptible role model. They're starting to even lose me as an advocate. I hate rappers.
 
Woods may win but his body and stroke are going to have to be fixed up for him to be tiger woods again.
