Nevertheless, Tiger beat Michael Jordan (MJ) as the athlete most athletes would pay to see.<br /><br />I have seen MJ play in person (the good MJ, not the Wizards MJ), so I would have to say that I would pay to see Tiger (which would have happened if he hadn't been forced out of the Ryder Cup) knock that dimpled white ball around for 18 (or more) holes.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/28/who-would-you-pay-to-watch-play-perhaps-nike/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Who would you pay to watch play?
