176 de jucatori de golf au castigat 1.6 MILIARDE $ datorita lui Tiger Woods! Efectul INCREDIBIL pe care l-a avut asupra sportului
Golf
Cine ar fi crezut ca 176 de oameni pot sa-i spuna multumeasca din suflet omului pe care cu totii incearca sa-l bata?
Aproape in fiecare sport exista un nume care practic il identifici cu acel sport. Cand spui Babe Ruth te gandesti la baseball. Cand spui box, te gandesti la Muhammad Ali. Cand spui golf, e imposibil sa te gandesti la altcineva in afara lui Tiger Woods.
In ciuda scandalurilor din ultimii ani care i-au eclipsat cariera, Tiger Woods ramane un fenomen in acest sport. Iar acest lucru i-a ajutat in mod direct pe toti practicantii de golf! Mai exact, 1.6 miliarde de dolari au intrat in buzunarele celorlalti jucatori datorita lui Tiger Woods!
Cei de la Sports Intelligence au calculat modul in care au evoluat premiile jucatorilor in circuitul de golf de-a lungul timpului. Intre 1990 si 1996, cresterea a fost de la 82 de milioane de dolari la 101, adica aprox 3.4% pe an. Tiger Woods a aparut apoi in 1996, castigand 2 din cele 8 turnee in care a participat.
"Uitati-va la ce a facut pentru acest sport in ultimii 17 ani in care a jucat. Este incredibil. Imi aduc aminte ca eram amator si am castigat primul meu turneu in Tucson in 1991, premiile totale era de 1milion de dolari, primul loc castigat 180.000 de dolari. Eu si agentul meu ne intrebam atunci daca va exista vreodata un turneu la care primul loc sa castige 1 milion de dolari.
Acum, asta se intampla in fiecare saptamana. A existat o creste incredibila a acestui sport. Iar Tiger a fost instigatorul. A fost cel ce a condus autobuzul, el a dus la cresterea ratingurilor, a interesului si toti am beneficiat de pe urma acestui lucru. De aceea ii simtim atat de mult lipsa; stim cu totii ce a insemnat pentru sport" spunea Phil Mickelson, cel care a castigat 42 de turnee in cariere (3 Mastersuri), inainte de Mastersul din acest an.
Iar cifrele arata acest 'efect Tiger Woods'. In 2008, premiile totale ale turneelor erau de 292 de milioane de dolari, o crestere de 9.3% fata de momentul in care Tiger Woods a inceput sa joace. Roger Pielke Jr de la Sports Intelligence a facut asadar un calcul pentru a vedea care e suma totala de care au beneficiat ceilalti jucatori de pe urma 'efectului Tiger Woods'. Iar Phil Mickelson, de exemplu, a castigat 29 de milioane de dolari datorita acestei cresteri uriase in ceea ce priveste premiile din circuitul de gol inceputa odata cu aparitia lui Tiger Woods.
Inca o dovada a acestui 'efect Tiger Woods' este ca in 2009 cand jucatorul a avut accidentul de masina si o scadere de forma cauzata de accident, premiile totale au scazut cu 2.3%!
Este important de mentionat ca aceste cifre pentru cei 176 de jucatori care au castigat bani in 2013 reprezinta doar o portiune din toti banii oferiti in PGA Tour intre 1997 si 2008. Cei 176 de jucatori de golf au castigat 1.7 miliarde de dolari, dintre care 867 de milioane de dolari venind datorita 'efectului Tiger Woods'. Cu alte cuvinte, ceva mai mult din premiile acordate se datorau lui Tiger! Per total insa, au existat 3.1 miliarde de dolari in premii in toata perioada, ceea ce inseamna ca efectul a fost de 1.6 miliarde de dolari. Iar aici nu este luat in calcul efectul pe care l-a avut asupra altor asociatii de golf!
