World number one golfer Tiger Woods reportedly earned $115 million (£56 million) last year.
According to Parade Magazine''s What People Earn survey, the last 12 months - in which Nike golfer Woods netted the US PGA title - saw him bring in this nine-figure sum.
The complete list of celebrity earnings will be officially revealed in Sunday''s edition of the publication. It is set to include a feature on the pay range among professional sportspeople that will see golf''s most famous face fare favourably when compared to billiards players and wrestlers.
Chat show host Oprah Winfrey is apparently the top-earning celebrity, taking home $260 million in total throughout the course of 2007.
Wood carded 72 during the first day of the Augusta Masters yesterday to finish his round on par.
Following the day''s play, he said: "I kept myself in the tournament. I''m right there.
"With the weather supposed to be getting more difficult as the week goes on, I''m right there."
