Actually, the Nike company is making a business decision in hopes that an association with Tiger Woods will generate more money for them.
A doctor's earnings have nothing to do with sponsorship from a company. He gets his earnings from patients and insurance companies. While most doctors in the Orlando area do not earn what Tiger Woods earns, they are very comfortable in their salaries.
What irks me are the ridiculous amounts that college basketball and football coaches receive as compared to the college professors salaries.
