Troubled Tiger still tops Forbes brand list

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Despite Tiger Woods’ problems surrounding his adultery scandal and lost corporate sponsors, the world’s No. 1 golfer remains the top athlete brand as ranked by Forbes.

The business magazine estimated in its second annual “Fab 40″ list that Woods still represents the top sports brand by athlete, with an estimated value of $82 million.

It said Woods’ remaining sponsor deals with Nike Inc, Electronic Arts Inc and Procter & Gamble Co’s Gillette brand will allow him to remain the world’s highest paid athlete this year.

Woods, who is taking an indefinite break from professional golf, has been in hiding since admitting in December that he had cheated on his wife.
