Actually, these are the most followed and the most famous sports in the world. Each has a huge community that and big fan clubs which are ready to pay a lot of money for a good show made by professionals. My husband loves to play golf, and his favorite golfer is Tiger Woods. He said no golfer would be better than him. I guess that Woods got more than $1 billion net worth for sure. He got paid a lot for games and publicities. I am used to going with my husband to the golf club. There I speak to other girls and have some cocktails while boys play golf. But recently, I decided that I want to try golf and ordered a golf club set for woman beginner. And I can say that gold is a pleasant game, but it requires many qualities that I don't have, haha.
