I might change my name to VAFACT, because FACTS are what I deal in. If you didn't get the humor behind saying that my nephew's best friend's Father's Uncle's lover was a CIA agent, then you are more gullable than I imagined - It was a JOKE - It was driving the point home that MaliBOOFOO's assertiong that he knew a guy who had a friend that was an IT man, and he had hacked CBS to prove that I was "ftbllgenius". It's absurd. I am Vahawk. You know I wasn't ftbllgenius, but youplayed along, saying that other had also exposed me as a liar and a fraud, when you damn well, that I am Vahawk, and just Vahawk. Just like I KNOW that you are YIPSBEGONE.
"They" don't call me Stumy. If you couldn't tell immediately that I wasn't ftbllgenius then you are a freaking MORON. What a minute, it has already been astablished that you are MORON and a blithering IDIOT> Get a life - FREAK -
I've admitted to being Yips. The phone call from your Homeland Security guy was too much for me. It all came out, Yips, Vlad. Pope John Paul 11 and anyone you care to add in.
Sorry Stump....no one believes your latest howler..
Homeland Security....LMAO. Man do you regret posting that! I could just see the look on your Mountain Man Family DNA Mixed Face. When you read " Stumpy, post my IP address...I insist on it." You went numb. Your terribly limited IQ was screaming " How thye F can I get out of this??"
Well Stumpy, you didn't. 1000 hits a week....you were AGAIN caught in a barefaced LIE.
Funny thing is this......It would have been VERY VERY easy for you to get my IP address.......LMAO. You could have easily got it but you are just TOOOO STUPID.
You could have posted my IP address....But You are a STUMP. Ignorant and a LIAR.
Tiger turned pro in 1996 and immediately made a gigantic splash with HUGE endorsement deals with American Express and Nike Golf. Now, it may sound very normal to the younger golf fan that Nike is in the golf game. However, this wasn’t the case in 1995. In 1995 Nike was very much a newcomer to the game of golf, they pretty much bet the farm on Tiger when they made this move. From what I remember they gave him a $50 million deal. Needless to say this had a major effect on endorsements, the average tour player is not only cleaning up in prize money but, Million Dollar equipment deals are now small-time. And now NIKE is player in the golf business.
n 1985 Curtis Strange was the top money leader on tour, he won 3 times and he earned a total of $542,321. In 1985 he was the only player on tour to earn in excess of $500,000. The Inflation calculator to the left would indicate that normal rates on inflation would have put Curtis Strange’s $500k at $1.013 million in todays terms. That is a 100% increase but the Tiger Effect has created GREATER THAN 1,000% inflation of winnings on Tour.
Most important to the almighty dollar discussion was the fact that he didn’t earn any MONEY! In 1996 Greg Norman became the first player on tour to win $10,000,000 in his career. Norman went on to earn over $14 million on tour but let’s take a look at that “First over $10 million” fact. Norman hit the 10 mill mark in 1996…in the year 2000 just 4 years later Tiger won $9,200,000 in a single year. This didn’t take 10 years or 20 years it only took 4 years for someone to make as much money in a single year as one of the greatest golfers of all time earned in his entire career!
Tiger has given us a great gift, a gift that nobody else in history was quite able to give us. I am completely conscious of what Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan gave us, it doesn’t matter how long we keep going with this list. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY was able to add to their game quite the way TIGER DID! Tiger Woods single handedly grew awareness for the game we love and that awareness lifted the entire Golf World. Thank You Tiger.
