Floyd Mayweather should NOT be that high up on the list. That $20 million dollar thing from the WWE was all a sham...both the WWE and Floyd were just trying tocause a stir. It's well known that homie didn't get paid that much (it was in the millions just not THAT high up there).

Not really surprised by the list. But still, Tiger and Phil are just two men so that their recognizability distorts the distribution of funds in golfingwhereas NBA, NFL, etc etc have more guys to go around
With close to $800 million in total earnings on and off the course over his 13-year career, Tiger should become the first billion-dollar athlete in the next two years -- and he's still only 32. See Tiger's sponsors.
Actually, it's WELL known that schumi was the world's first billion dollar athlete and on that note,
Golf not a real sport? And please join the thread about racing I would love to hear your lack of reasoning but there is no reason to clutterthis thread up.

Sorry, stoneface me all you want, but golf is not a real sport.
If you consider golf a real sport, then do you consider bowling a real sport? And if you consider bowling a real sport, then do you consider billiards a realsport? Darts? Poker? Chess? Where does it end? Golf is not as far from being a true sport as bowling, but it's not in the same category as basketball.
My definition of what is not a real sport is simple: If you sweat more from the heat than you do from actually playing the game, it's not a real sport.

I respect the game of golf but I also dont consider it a sport. As mentioned directly above me, what else are we going to label sports? Throwing darts? Hotdog eating competitions?
Also, it's pretty obvious that SI only listed American athletes.
If the list included "non-Americans", it would include (2007 stats):
-De La Hoya ($43 mill)
-Kimi Raikkonen ($40 mill)
-Michael Schumacher ($36 mill)
-David Beckham ($33 mill)
-Michael Jordan ($31 mill) Threw him in since this is NT
-Ronaldinho ($31 mill)
-Valentino Rossi ($30 mill) I never heard of this guy, motorcycle racer
-Roger Federer ($29 mill)
-Yao Ming ($26 mill)
-Vijay Sing ($26 mill)
-Maria Sharapova ($23 mill)
On a related note, Michael Vick earned up to $40 million a year before the dog-fighting charges
