Baseball.  Guaranteed money, $75.00/day in meal money, 5 star hotels, and if you are a pitcher you work once every 5 days.  Relief pitchers work even less.  The league minimum is now what 2 million?

choose one with guaranteed money and a long life span, given the choice I would not choose football

if you are tall and have average ability you will still be making 5+ million per season in the NBA riding the bench.

then baseball..left handed pitchers can play well into their 40s with a average skills.

avoid tennis and golf, very few average players make a good living.

Tiger Woods has made more than any athlete already and probably can play for another 30-40 years if he wanted to....

Golf. Definately Golf..

EASY on the body.. Something you can do into your late 60s.

You will make a TON of $ $on the tour and will get endorsements.....

And think of your Average day "working" playing 18 holes, b.s.ing with your friends, and getting paid for it.


Football and Basket ball, your career can end on any given day...

I would choose the sport i LOVE, no matter how much money i will make or lose.

For this example, bodybuilding. One of the most awesome sports.

I agree.  Golf is one of the most lucrative, least physically demanding/injury causing, with the longest window of time where one can compete.

golf like tennis are lucrative if you are top100 or so. When you have professional players by the thousands....and the competition level is incredible...it's not so great. The most lucrative are the big america 4 : football, baseball, hockey and basketball where someone can warm the bench the whole season for 500 k or 1 million...now THAT'S lucrative !

when you see an NFL game... everyone on that sideline, from the ballboy to the cheerleaders to the scrub players...

they all make more per day than Ben White made at the NY Pro.  It boggles the mind.

If you make the Tour on the PGA, with endorsements and your "earnings", you SHOULD be able to make 250K-500K minimum...

Get some sponsership..

I would rather make 250K every year for 25 years than 3 million for 3 years and have my knee blown out.
