As if the $100 million in off-course endorsements and global omnipresence didn’t convince you that Tiger Woods is the most popular athlete in the entire world, well, what Australia is doing for his impending visit should be enough to convince you. In addition to the $3 million check he gets just for showing up, Tiger is getting treated with…
This time around, he’ll fly to Australia in a private plane. He’ll be chauffeured around the country and kept under the watchful eye of a complete security detail. He’ll be the guest of honor at a prestigious dinner whose tickets cost more than $5,000 a seat. And chances are, everybody who’s anybody in Australia — no, I will not make a hack Crocodile Dundee joke here (unless I just did) — will be angling for some face time with Woods.
That’s in addition to his taxpayer funded $3 million appearance fee. Then again, when SIMPLY HIS PRESENCE is estimated to generate an EXTRA $15 million in revenue for the local economy, well, ladies and gentlemen, that’s why he’s Tiger fuckin’ Woods, the most well known athlete in the entire world.
