Tiger Woods isn't just the best golfer in the world. He's the world's second most powerful celebrity -- second only to Oprah Winfrey.

At least, he's the No. 2 celebrity according to the Forbes Celebrity 100, which ranks celebrities using a formula that incorporates earnings over the last year, Internet presence, magazine covers and how often the celebrity is mentioned in newspapers and on TV and radio. Woods actually ranked first among all celebrities in the world in terms of his number of press clippings.

Other celebrities on the list include David Beckham (No. 5), LeBron James (16), Michael Jordan (18), Kobe Bryant (19), Phil Mickelson (20), Roger Federer (23) and Alex Rodriguez (24). Woods also came in second to Winfrey last year.
