And how many of these guys have private jets, drugs, throw money down the drain like there's no tomorrow. On the other hand some players are scraping by, like Stricker, in 2005 he made 33 thousands only (if I recall correctly), while Tiger made upwards of 9 millions. So I think the prizes should be spreadout more between the winner to the bottom qualifier.
And the endorsement fees are crazy too. Hundreds of millions to Tiger alone. And the regular joe's like me are paying Tiger with my hard earned salary, as if he is not rich enough.
My two cents.

Actually, if i recall correctly, Tiger wakes up at 4:00, goes for a run with his bordercollie, gets back and works out, I think he might go to starbucks or something
. Now its 6:30 and he's at the golf course, practices for a few hours, goes out to play 18 or 36 holes, practices another 2-3 hours, goes home (hopefully has a shower
) Does buisness things like his foundation and stuff. He also has a room 50 ft by 50 ft and it is full of Gold and silver coins and $100 bills, that is where he does his swimming.
By then he's tuckered out and watches southpark and goes to bed at midnight....
Thats tiger woods day
and for years he's been practicing his skills
he deserves the $1,027,000,000
