how are you going to actually reduce this topic to money...?? in that case, why aren't names like bill gates, or warren buffett being brought up? you're starting to NOT make sense. yes, tiger woods is a brand, and yes he's hugely popular, but so are people like david beckham.

Wanna talk influence? Tiger is worth more than both of those soccer teams combined (I thinkOriginally Posted by thesimplestlife
of course there are millions of people who don't follow soccer, but you have to understand that there are millions of people who don't follow other things as well..Originally Posted by J23S
But this board is part of the world, there are millions of people that dont follow soccer as wellOriginally Posted by flippapabear23

My guess would be David Beckham or Zinidine Zidane (Guy who headbutted in 06 World Cup)
This is based soley on fact that soccer is far and away most popular sport in the world. They are 2 very well known players and my guess is that most people would at least know of the best players in their sport..
Zidane is one of the greatest soccer players ever. So he obviously would be in consideration. The only reason i explained him is because probably 90% of this board doesnt follow soccer, so they wouldn't know who im talking about. But this board is NOT the WORLD, so he could be very famous.
do you really think that more people follow politics than sports (i'll leave it as general as that)..?
now, after you realize they don't, let me ask you this...
do you really think more people follow golf than soccer?
now, after you realize they don't, let me ask you this
do you really think that some of the influence of these huge soccer stars, doesn't extend beyond soccer? do you really think that people in some of these less financially developed countries, where soccer forms the backbone of their culture, don't have an idea of who david beckham or zidane might be???)... and what moves faster around the globe than money? Not even light. Money IS influence! Tiger's money can be everywhere at once, therefore, HE can be everywhere at once. He's on TV Right now, somewhere as I'm typing this. He might be selling an Ipod or some deodorant RIGHT now. It's really quite simple. Not only is HE a brand name himself, but his face is more recognizable than any other black face today, sans MAYBE Jordan. Maybe.. and definitely moreso than Obama because Tiger opened the door for Obama. White people had to accept losing their sport to a %+%%% before they lost their country to one. Duh...
Oprah is more famous then everyone listed except for Obama

SOCCER is way more popular than golf. duh. David beckham is one of the most famous soccer players. duh. His influence is bigger than soccer. duh. what is
there not to get...?
and no, tiger woods isn't worth more than some of the bigger name soccer teams (i.e. real madrid, man u, etc).
tiger may be richer than beckham, but that doesn't mean he's a more popular WORLD figure. maybe it's time to venture out of indiana.
Blah Blah... You're obviously subjectively attached to this topic, because you insist on making it about soccer being more popular than golf. So what? True as that may be, Tiger is more popular than Soccer. Simply put, because Tiger is as rich as he is active in the mainstream world, people see and hear about him everywhere and all the time. Bill Gates is not a celebrity, and neither are most of the richest people in the world. But Tiger (and Oprah) are. And their money makes them important to both regular people and business interests alike, which makes them the topic of discussion in more circles; moreso than David Beckham. Period.
Son, I am disappoint.
