Sports Illustrated recently released its annual list of America’s 50 highest-earning athletes, and it’s no surprise Tiger Woods is at the top.
Despite his recent off-the-course troubles, Woods is expected to make more than $90 million in winnings and endorsements this year. That’s impressive any way you, ahem, slice it.
We also noticed a couple of Arkansans on the list. Major League Baseball players Torii Hunter ($18.5 million) and A.J. Burnett ($16.775 million) checked in at Nos. 41 and 50, respectively.
