Sports Illustrated is out with its annual “Fortunate 50,” ranking the top earners in sports. Tiger Woods, a perennial No. 1 for seven years, fell to No. 5 this year. He’ll struggle to get by at nearly $41 million.

Not surprisingly, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is No. 1 at $90 million, thanks to his new deal with Showtime. However, the most curious entry is Derrick Rose. He is seventh with $33 million in earnings.

That figure is likely to add more to the fallout for Rose, who is under considerable fire in Chicago and nationally for sitting out the season. If you are the Bulls and his main sponsor, adidas, you have to be very nervous about that investment until he proves he can play again.

Here’s the release from SI:

Galvanized by an unprecedented deal with Showtime that guarantees him at least $32 million per fight, boxing great Floyd (Money) Mayweather Jr. sits atop the 10^th annual Sports Illustrated Fortunate 50, which ranks the 50 highest-earning professional athletes in the U.S. With $90 million in projected earnings for 2013, Mayweather tops the list for the second consecutive year. The complete list is available at si.com/Fortunate50 and is also featured in the May 20, 2013 edition of SI.

Tiger Woods, who was No. 1 on the Fortunate 50 every year from 2004-11, falls to his lowest ranking ever (No. 5, $40.8MM). LeBron James (No. 2, $56.5MM) is the first team-sport player to crack the top two since Shaquille O’Neal did it in 2004. James’s $39 million in endorsements were more than any other U.S. athlete in 2013. A historic $37 million signing bonus helped Drew Brees skyrocket to No. 3 on this year’s list. Brees didn’t crack the top 50 in 2012.
