The 36-year-old Swiss is in a rich-vein of form having won seven titles this year, including the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Nineteen-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer has overtaken former world number one golfer Tiger Woods as the highest prize money earner in individual sports, according to a list released by Forbes. The victory took his prize money to a whopping $110,235,682, thus surpassing previous number one Woods' tally of $110,061,012 in his career. Federer currently holds 95 career titles, sitting at the second spot on the all-time list behind American Jimmy Connors, who bagged 109 titles, Sport24 reported. Currently ranked 1, 189th in the world, Woods is all set to make a return at his own World Challenge tournament at the end of the month.
