 width=>>Spieth Overtakes Tiger As Top Earner

We know Jordan Spieth is keeping pace with Tiger Woods on the course. Now he's keeping pace with him off of it. According to Golf Digest, for the first time in 13 years, Tiger Woods was not golf's No. 1 earner in 2015. It was Spieth.

Spieth earned more than $53 million on and off the course to lead the GD50. At more than $48.5 million, Woods fell to No. 3, behind 45-year-old Phil Mickelson and ahead of Rory McIlroy, 26. Arnold Palmer, golf's most enduring cash machine at 86, is No. 5.

The majority of Spieth's money ($30 million) was made off the course. And the majority of that came from Under Armour.

>>Spieth Signs Deal With Coca-Cola

Jordan Spieth can do no wrong these days. Barely 48 hours after ripping through the Tournament of Champions for his seventh PGA Tour win, it was announced that Spieth signed a deal with Coca-Cola. A really, really big deal.

Figures of the deal were not available but ESPN's Darren Rovell says it's quote-"brand puts him on level of LeBron & Taylor Swift."
