The 25 Richest Golfers In The World

According to an article in Forbes, the richest golfers are Fred Couples, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods.

It seems like a lot of people can’t wait to get golf on the back burner, so it’s a great opportunity to get out and get some fresh air.

Although these are just a few examples of what it takes to achieve success in any sport, the point is that you have to be prepared for whatever the opposition brings no matter what the sport.

In many cases, the sportsman who has been able to perform at the high level for the longest time is someone who was born into an athletic family.
