With the PGA Tour in its offseason, Tiger Woods has ample time to focus on his other passion: making money. His latest stop on the gravy train has him in Istanbul, Turkey, where yesterday he got paid to become the first man to hit a golf ball from Asia to Europe. Neat(?)


Tiger is in Turkey to play in the Turkish Airlines Open. His appearance fee is reportedly about $2.3 million, which includes participation in this particular stunt. Winning the tournament is only worth a quarter of that. Even in the offseason, Tiger finishes number one.

Here's video of the "event," should you have five minutes to waste:
