Public people, private lives, and Tiger Woods

As far as having enough money to retire, most certainly he does. However, i don't htink Tiger is interested in the money any longer. He is interested in being known as the best ever, with the most majors and tournaments won. Surely he can be discussed among the best ever, but until he has both of those, it could be brought into doubt that he is. He wants it to be known without a doubt.

Athletes want the competition. While the money is great, they want titles and their name to be known for all eternity.

Then why is he still in advertising, and video game development?

Err, then why doesn't he play golf and do commercials for free, or donate everything to charity? I guarantee he would still be a massive celebrity without the paychecks.

He does something he's good at and enjoys, people are willing to pay him to do it. It doesn't really get any more complicated or philosophical than that.
