Tiger Woods and the Sports Business Ripple Effect

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including Tiger Woods's victory at the Masters and the ripple effects in the sports business community. Woods, 43, captured his 15th major golf title, and first since 2008, capping what some are calling the greatest comeback in sports history. Woods's return to winning majors is good news for his sponsors, which include Nike, which shortly after the tournament released a video congratulating Woods on the accomplishment. Also discussed is the effect on television ratings and Woods's memorabilia market. Also touched on is the National Basketball Association's average team valuation passing that of Major League Baseball for the first time, according to Forbes.
