You got to hand it to Tiger, he has bucks, a hot wife, and a bum knee...but most of all, he's got a hot wife. If you want to see some funny news about all the latest (and some hot chicks, but (mostly) safe for work)...check out:

Congrats to a Tiger. A great combination of skill and dedication. Excellent job of supporting his son's calling by his dad.

Just to clarify a bit of confusion in that story--- Tiger maybe on track to pass the billion dollar mark in a couple of years but it wont all be actually done at his career as an athlete....the huge majority of that money will come from the endorsements he has done.He is good at golf but there is no way he would make a billion dollars by playing golf.

Yes, everybody knows that. But, he gets endorsements because of his playing. No other athlete has ever come close to making that kind of money unless he was owner or part owner of a sports franchise. He is on track of doing this because of him, not because of investments etc etc.

No apparently everyone DOESNT know that because the story made it sound like he would pass the billion dollar mark in "career earnings"....which makes it sound like he would make that much from golf as we all tend to figure that golf is his "career" not making commercials.

He is quite a guy!!! He was said to have a personal account on a Luxury online service M I L L M A T C H. C O M for successful and celebs singles with his hot pictures and blog there. Quite a few hot girls and ladies wrote to him. I've been there for days, it seems the girls are not hard to hook up with.

Hope I don't make any error's I can't post in caps, and therefore, unable to read what i'm typing...

As for Tiger...More power to him!!! This guy lives golf, from the time he awakes in the morning, until he retires for the night...

Sure he does indorsements, and that's where the money comes in, but no matter what he's indorsing, whether it's for the Buick Coporation, or for Pepsi, or even Nike's, he is decked out and ready to play golf.....And therefore is also indorsing golf....

That's Tiger, that's what makes the man...
