<p class="p1">Tiger Woods hasn’t finished on top of a scoreboard since 2013. But Woods is still coming in first when it comes to the bank account.</p>
<p class="p1">Forbes released its annual World’s 100 <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2018/06/05/the-worlds-100-highest-paid-athletes-2018-behind-the-numbers/#7c46db04dd04" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Highest Paid Athletes</span></a> ranking this week, with the 42-year-old ranking 16th on the list at $43.3 million. While that’s a far cry from his heyday—for over a decade, Woods was No.1 overall, hauling in over $100 million on multiple occasions—he’s still the top golfer on the list. $42 million come from endorsements, including sponsorship deals with Upper Deck, TaylorMade, Monster Energy, Bridgestone, Hero Motocorp, Nike, and Rolex.</p>
<p class="p1">According to Forbes, only Woods, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. (who earned the crown with $285 million, $275 million from his fight with Conor McGregor) and soccer star Ronaldo have topped the list in the last 18 years.</p>
<p class="p1">Aside from Tiger, four other golfers made the ranking: Phil Mickelson at No.22 ($41.3 million), No.23 Jordan Spieth ($41.2 million), No.26 Rory McIlroy ($37.7 million) and No.66 Justin Thomas ($26 million). The reigning Player of the Year is unique in that the majority of his cash came from earnings ($21 million) compared to endorsement ($5 million).</p>
<p class="p1">The list only includes active athletes. After Mayweather, the top-earning American was LeBron James (No.6 overall) at $85.5 million, with Steph Curry (No.8) not far behind at $76.9 million.</p>
