Golfers Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson head up the 2011 biggest earners through endorsements.

Woods reigns for the eighth year in a row. His earnings are shrinking as he has lost endorsement deals with Gillette and Tag Heuer. As Woods' personal life and game have seemingly fallen apart due to his extra marital indiscretions, some of his key sponsors have left him too.
