A logo on the side of the cap or collar can cost up to $200,000.

NASCAR drivers, eat your hearts out.

Tiger Woods, stumbling through the tour after his dust-up with the Scandinavian babe, still gets $20 million a year in endorsements. Even if she still gets half, that’s not a bad payday for just showing up.

Arnold Palmer hasn’t won a golf tournament since 1973 but he got $40 million in endorsements last year.
