Forbes is reporting that Tiger Woods is on track to exceed $1 billion in earnings by 2010. Editors at the magazine came up with the number using Woods' estimated annual earnings and an estimated investment return of eight percent. While there are other billionaires who are sportsmen, Tiger Woods will be the first billionaire to make his money from playing sports and sports-related endorsement deals. Golf, man. Who knew? [BV] |

In January, Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman all but revealed this little secret, when her comments about the unstoppable Tiger Woods – and how his competitors’ only hope of beating him was to “lynch [Woods] in a back alley” – blew the lid off that not-so-secret pot. And then, over the weekend, NBC Sports’s lead golf analyst Johnny Miller added to the fury with one ill-advised comment about U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate. |

SOMETHING IMPORTANT HAPPENED IN GOLF It probably should have been mentioned here on Stereohyped yesterday evening that Tiger Woods won the US Open after a sudden death with opponent Rocco Mediate. Apparently, many golf fans found yesterday's events exhilarating. “I think this is probably the best [win] ever,” Woods told the New York Times. “All things considered, I don’t know how I ended up in this position, to be honest with you. It was a long week. There was a lot of doubt, a lot of questions going into the week. And here we are 91 holes later.” |

President Bush On His Ultimate Sacrifice
“I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” What George W. Bush Meant: "Laura told me it was bad for my image to keep playing golf, even though its my favorite thing to do. So then I asked Karl what he thought, and he agreed with Laura. So I quit golf, and no one has even noticed or cared! If I knew that I would make this personal sacrifice just for appearances' sake and 71 percent of the country would still think I was the worst president ever, I never would have thrown away my clubs. That's for damn sure." |
