Read MorePhil & Tiger Roundup: Fortune's Highest Paid List Shuffle, Pinehurst & Tiger Hitting Drivers
/
Landing 6th at $37.2 million on Fortune's best guess at income earned in 2013, Phil Mickelson passed Tiger Woods who fell to 7th with $35.5 million last year.
Floyd Mayweather finished atop the list with $105 million in earnings.
Speaking of Mickelson, I followed him quite a bit at Pinehurst and filed this story for Golf World suggesting that there was an odd sameness to his rounds and body language, but that his game is ultimately not that far off.
As for Tiger, he hit balls last weekend, including drivers after starting work on the range last Tuesday, first reported by Tim Rosaforte on Morning Drive and more extensively later on Golf Central. Agent Mark Steinberg confirmed but the timetable for a competitive return remains unsettled.
NBC 69 Of 69 In Martin Kaymer Shots Shown Sunday
/Talk about German engineering! (Sam Weinman reviews the various references to the German engineering in the post-Kaymer U.S. Open win here).
Impressive balance by NBC as noted by Classic TV Sports, which tabulated the distribution of leader shots shown by the network during the U.S. Open final round.
All 69 of Kaymer's shots were shown, but more interesting was the balance of leaders and their place on the leaderboard.

/Some pretty special stuff at Pinehurst today as Michelle Wie graciously sat down for a Q&A with the assembled scribblers and I can safely say neither of these was asked by yours truly and the identity of the questioners is unknown:
Q. You said we could ask you anything, and I notice sitting here in the front row that you have different nail polish on your fingers. Is that to help you with your grip or is there a reason for that?
MICHELLE WIE: No. It's just --
Q. Just your whim this morning?
MICHELLE WIE: Uh-huh.
And...
Q. And was that your Pomeranian I saw up on the hospitality deck there yesterday? Did you bring, is it Lola, your little doggie?
MICHELLE WIE: I don't know, was she out there? Yeah, I guess so. Maybe.
It's not often you get two rally killers of that quality in one session! History was made at Pinehurst today!
If you don't believe this occurred, the video of Wie's press conference can be viewed here at GolfChannel.com.
