October 01, 2009 Forbes: Tiger Woods is first athlete to reach $1 billion Posted at 11:13 AM by Ryan Reiterman | Categories: Tiger Woods
It's good to be Tiger Woods. Forbes.com is reporting that Woods is the first athlete to reach $1 billion in earnings, beating out Michael Jordan and Michael Schumacher.
Woods earned more than $10.5 million in giant cardboard checks this year on the PGA Tour and added another $10 million last weekend by winning the FedEx Cup. According to Forbes, that little bonus was enough to push Woods over the $1 billion mark.
