Not a surprise that Tiger Woods is #1 in earnings, But a surprise is #2. Another golfer, Phil Mickelson. I just do not see many of his commercials on TV. Maybe I am just not paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>#3 is LaBron James. Not a surprise. I think very soon James will be #1 because he is only 24. And if he wins a NBA title he will for sure pass Tiger or be there with Tiger.<\/p>\n<p>Glad to see Kobe moving up the ladder in earnings. But I still think business folks shy away from Bryant because of the court stuff a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>This is real interesting information. To me baseball guys like Ryan Howard who is young and intelligent should be farther up the earnings chart. Maybe in time he will.<\/p>\n<p>But keep in mind Tiger is just 33 years old. He is still in his prime as a golfer. He has a lot of years to be on top in the golf game. After all look at golf great Arnold Palmer who is still making big $$ in endorsements and he is going on 80 years.<\/p>\n<p>There is not a lot of boxers on the list. I know Floyd Mayweather does a few commercials but where is Oscar or Bernard Hopkins and other boxers?
