Not many fat slobs on tour these days, John Daly on senior tour and "Beef" on regular tour. Guess what? They make more in a weekend than you did in the best year of your life.

Daly shot a 3-under 69 to finish at 14-under 202 and earned $322,500.

Beef won Spanish open 2016 earned $450,000

And about your comment "What a waste of talent"

Woods has won 79 official PGA Tour events, second only to Sam Snead, and six ahead of Jack Nicklaus with 73 wins. (See List of golfers with most PGA Tour wins.)
Woods has won 14 majors, second all time, behind Jack Nicklaus.
Woods is 14–1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead.
Woods scoring average in 2000 is the lowest in PGA Tour history, both adjusted, 67.79, and unadjusted, 68.17.[1]
Woods has the lowest career scoring average in PGA Tour history.
Woods has amassed the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history (even after inflation is considered).
Woods is one of five players (along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so.[2]
Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000–2001 seasons. This feat became known as the "Tiger Slam".
Woods set the all-time PGA Tour record for most consecutive cuts made, with 142. The streak started in 1998, he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113 and Jack Nicklaus at 105) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s.[3][4][5][6] It should be noted that when Byron Nelson played far fewer players made the cut in a given event.[citation needed]
Woods has won a record 25.2% (79 out of 313) of his professional starts on the PGA Tour. Think about that!
Woods is the only golfer to have won the U.S. Amateur three consecutive times (1994–96).

Yeah, what a waste....

Here's Tiger's home, what's yours look like?

So they made lots of money and wasted lot more with they're bad habits. I garrentee you I managed it lot better than your two examples.

But, he hasn't pass jack in majors and probably never will. He could of it he hadn't hooked up with the basketball players which lead him astray. This NEVER would of happen if his dad hadn't died. Tiger could of be the very best ever, but like mike Tyson he got too much money and distracted, at least Tyson had an excuse, he can from nowhere, no education or solid upper middle class life. Tiger didn't, his dad was army officer and only experienced the rich snobs that controlled county clubs.

After his wife found out he was popping whores and almost planted the 9 iron in his thick head. He couldn't hit fairway, hurt his back getting out of the hay fields. Tiger imploded himself. I agree, there are many great golfers that are in shape and there are lots that's not, which you don't see it other sports that you have to move.

You compare him to the old golfers, didn't they play 36 hole day and the clubs and balls was subpar compaired to today technology?

Golf has always be game for rich snobs and has bad history when it comes to common people. Today golf about money. Tiger is money maker.

I would rather look at his little gold digger wife's accomplishments. At least she's got good management skills.
