Written by Sports Know It Alls Staff   

Despite being implicated in numerous adultery cases, golfer Tiger Woods is still America’s top-earning athlete, based on a survey by Sports Illustrated (SI).

The list was based on salary, winnings, endorsements, and appearance fees. Woods was number one with an estimated $90.5 million for 2010, which actually marked a decrease from his previous year. The golfer lost several sponsorships after the exposure of his mistresses, including Gatorade, AT&T, and Accenture.

Even with the losses, the 30-year-old is still expected to earn $70 million for his endorsements.

Following Woods on the list is another golfer, Phil Mickelson. At third place is boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez, and Shaquille O’Neal round out the top six.
