How do golfers make so much money, btw?

They have a lot of sponsors for really expensive stuff like golf equipment and luxury watches.

Pretty much a bunch of rich, old dudes watch golf and they have the most money, so the sponsors pay out the ass.

rich white guys love having rich white guys as idols, so they buy all the super-expensive golf clothing and equipment.

The list says highest paid - does not matter if/how they blew their money.
Also - Tiger is still getting paid for playing shitty on top of the big bucks he made when he was playing well.

If by fixed you mean there was 1 good boxer, and a boxer that didn't stand a chance, you're right.

Yep. B-ball players sell shoes and golfers sell luxury cars.
