Tiger Woods earned nothing for his early exit at the British Open, but his first missed cut at the championship did not diminish his standing as the most valuable athlete on the planet.
According to SportsPro magazine Woods, through his earnings, endorsements and design company, is worth more than $US1 billion. Worryingly for the game of golf, his worth easily surpasses that of the PGA Tour as an entity.
Quite unbelievably, Woods is worth almost as much as organisations like Manchester United and the Dallas Cowboys. Actually, Tiger’s value probably soared well past the $1 billion mark after the US PGA Championship where he was the headline act until Korean bolter Y.E. Yang stormed home.

Woods is expected to earn more than $1billion from designing courses in the next decade. Little wonder tickets for the upcoming Australian Masters at Kingston Heath are as scarce as hens’ teeth.
