Is Tiger Woods losing the spark?

Maybe it’s the dark times that have come upon the fans of Woods that he is not a marketable athlete anymore. At least not in the top 50. The person who was no.2 in 2015, is nowhere in the top 50. This came as a shock to every fan.

‘The Real Tiger Woods Isn’t That Marketable’: Despite the Fame and a Larger-Than Life Public Persona, Tiger Woods’ Close Friend Once Revealed the Golfer’s True Character

Once his friend said he was not as marketable as the world saw him. He has an introverted personality. Woods is aloof and likes to be left alone in the room to read books. According to ‘Celebrity Net Worth’, his net worth is $800 Million, and he earns $50-60 million in a year from all his endeavors. But now, the authorities don’t think of him as someone who deserves to be top 50 marketable athletes in the 13th-year ranking.

They did not consider Woods to have the dynamic nature of athlete marketability in today’s digital age. Because, SportsPro, in collaboration with NorthStar, used enhanced science, which was beyond the metrics, to find out which athlete offers the most value to the brands today.
