(AP) -- Tiger Woods' estimated endorsements for 2010 are
worth $22 million less than last year, according to Sports
Illustrated's annual analysis of the highest-earning American
athletes.
Woods is still No. 1 on the list, as he has been for the
rankings' seven years. But his estimated total earnings of more
than $90 million are down 30 percent from nearly $128 million two
years ago.
Rival Phil Mickelson is again No. 2 with total earnings of more
than $61 million. His estimated endorsement income is $52 million,
compared with $70 million for Woods.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez, Shaquille
O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and Dwyane Wade
round out the top 10.
