How much money is this going to cost Tiger?

Question

He is out for the rest of the year. He cant even claim the Fed Ex cup even though he has huge lead.This will cost him Millions!...and to think some people were saying he was faking??

Answer 1

He makes about $60M/year on endorsements - and he'll continue to make that.   On his $500M net worth he probably makes 10% - $50M - and he'll continue to make that.

What he will lose is one season's winnings plus the FedEx cup - so about $15M after taxes.

Don't feel too sorry for him...!

Answer 2

If you see a guy on crutches with a red shirt and black Nike hat, panhandling you, then you might know the cost.

Answer 3

It won't cost him too much.

Firstly he will be insured

Secondly there are his endorsements and

thirdly he will get on with other things which he will be handsomely paid for such as speaking or commentating.

Now what about his caddie Steve Williams?  

What will he lose with this?

I am sure Tiger would not like him to caddy cor someone else even if he wanted to.

Answer 4

It makes you wonder why he took the chance in playing the US Open. What if he did permanent damage to the knee and would not be able to play ever? He may be lucky that he's only out for the season. Not that he needs the money. The man if filthy rich.
