(Newser) – Things appear to be back on the upswing for Tiger Woods: Yesterday, he became the first golfer to make more than $100 million in US PGA Tour winnings over the course of a career. He crossed that line after bringing home $544,000 by finishing third at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Bloomberg reports. Behind him is a distant second, Vijay Singh at $66.79 million. Earlier this year, Woods finally achieved a PGA Tour victory after a very long dry spell; more recently, he broke Jack Nicklaus' record for tour victories.

One hundred million.    That's a lot of hush money for mistresses.

"He who has no sin, cast the first stone".  I am just so very proud of Tont "Tiger" Eldridge Woods.  I'll never forget when a pro golfer waived a chicken at him.  With one look, Tiger said so many things to him...like "stuff that chicken up your ass".  Now I await his next victory.  He put a cork up Jack Nicklaus when he surpassed him in tournament victories. I can't forget that Arnold Palmer got so ill that Sunday that he couldn't be at the winner's circle with Tiger, even though it was his very own tournament..."The Arnold Palmer Classic"...I am looking forward toward tiger surpassing all historical golfers in all feats.  Tiger stay healthy please.  Someone up there likes you.  You shall be the greatest professional golfer of all time.  This from a weekend duffer who happens to be white.
