Tiger Woods vs. Lewis Hamilton: first sportsperson to earn a billion dollars
October 1, 2007 | Filed under Motorsports, News, Sports News
We all know how much the golf legend Tiger Woods earns, most of his money is earned by endorsements most of the reason that he earns so much is because of how good he is at his game. Another factor why Woods earns so much is because he is the first black golf player to ever be any good.
This is also the fact with British wonder kid Lewis Hamilton, who is the first black Formula 1 driver to ever be any good. In just his rookie year he leads the drivers’ championship by 12 points, and if he does go on to win the title this year the sponsorship gates will open.
At the moment we know that Tiger Woods earns far much more money that Lewis can dream off, but what you have to think about is Formula One is the world’s richest sport so you know that the sponsorship deals will come in from all angles for the young McLaren driver.
The question is who will make it to a billion dollars first? We know that Tiger has a very good head start but Lewis could catch up very quickly just like he does on the track.

Is this post a joke? Tiger is already worth $630million and he made $121million this year. You say F1 is the richest sport? Wrong Golf is the Richest sport. You serioulsy dont want to add up the amount of money generated in golf worldwide. In 2011 Tiger would surpass the billion mark. Unless of course Lewis earns $300million a year in the next 4 years you question is mute.
The biggest loser of 2007…This guy is a joke..bad driver..
