Tiger Woods joins LeBron, Jordan on billionaire listAFP, MIAMITiger Woods, a 15-time major golf champion, has joined NBA icons Michael Jordan and LeBron James as athletes with a net worth of US$1 billion, Forbes magazine reported on Friday. Tiger Woods catches a ball during a practice round prior to the start of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on May 17. Woods made the cut last month at the PGA Championship, but withdrew before the final round after limping his way over Southern Hills in the third round. While he is to skip next week’s US Open, Woods plans to play in The Open at St Andrews next month. Woods made US$68 million in off-course income over the past 12 months, Forbes reported, adding that figure alone would rank him 14th on the global world athlete income list.
