How much does EA sports pay Tiger Woods for lendng his name to the game?

Answer 1

Tiger Woods hasn't won much prize money the last couple of years, but that doesn't mean he isn't getting paid.

According to the Golf Channel, Tiger's appearance fee for this week's Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in the United Arab Emirates is at least $1.7 million, and possibly as much as $2.7 million.

So now you know why he passed up playing in the the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, on a course where he has had tremendous success.

Woods wouldn't tell reporters exactly how much his appearance fee is, but did say it obviously played a role in him going to the Middle East.

"It certainly does," Woods said. "That's one of the reasons why a lot of the guys do play in Europe, they do get paid. . . . Only place we don't get it is the U.S."

But Woods added that, "Where we offset it is our prize money is pretty high . . . We have an availability to play for more money."
