Tiger Woods makes an appearance fee for each tourney, which he receives no matter what happens. If he misses the cut, he still makes between $500,000-$1,000,000, depending on the sponsors and the tourney. Then he also wins purse money, which also depends on the tourney. Suffice it to say that he makes more money just by showing up, regardless of anything else, than most people make in a calender year. Additional note:
Tiger Woods only receives an appearance fee for a non PGA Tour event, e.g., when he plays in Dubai, Asia, or Australia. The PGA Tour does not pay fees to PGA Tour members. His endorsement money represents 95% of his income. In 2008, he made over $100 million, but only $5 million of that came from PGA Tour earnings.
