Taking time off from golf could cost Tiger Woods an estimated $180 million, reports the New York Post. With all his endorsements in jeopardy – Gillette has pulled the plug, while AT&T and Accenture are ‘evaluating’ their relationship with him – Woods may be crying all the way to the bank.

He rakes in an estimated $100 million a year from endorsements, that’s not including the money he makes from tournaments and appearances. Analysts tell the Post the superstar golfer most likely had a “morality clause” in his contracts that would allow sponsors to release him if, say, 13 women came forward claiming to have bagged him.
