Tiger's path to a Billion dollars

This article by Yahoo's Dan Wetzel caught my attention. He states that based on PGA's FedEx Cup - PGA version of year end play off tournament, Tiger would retire with a Billion dollars - yes, the one with the B.

FedEx Cup earnings are put in a retirement fund. If we go by the conservative assumption that Tiger would win 7 FedEx Cups over his career, he could end up with a retirement fund over a Billion dollars, as listed below.

Path to a billion
How Woods' retirement plan could possibly reach $1 billion, even if his production falls off, and he doesn't make the top 70 in some years.

Year	Assumed retirement fund compensation
2007	$123,100,000
2008	112,900,000
2010	95,000,000
2011	87,200,000
2013	73,100,000
2015	61,500,000
2017	51,800,000
Total	$604,600,000
Plus interest	114,700,000
Plus other plans	300,000,000
Total	$1,018,700,000

But the line that best summarizes Tiger's earning potential is the following:

"When it came to figuring out the plan, Tiger was the last person we thought about," said Joe Ogilvie, the tour pro who helped implement it. "For Tiger, $10 million is a rounding error."

Amen !
