Woods Advertisers aren’t going awry when they sign up Tiger Woods as a celebrity spokesman. For the second year running, Woods topped the voting in a Harris Poll that asked adults to pick their favorite sports star. Derek Jeter was the runner-up. Peyton Manning, the prominent commercial actor who has been known to dabble in pro football, came in at No. 8 on the list. Showing remarkable staying power, the retired basketballer-plus-baseballer Michael Jordan came in third. When asked to name their favorite female sports star, respondents put Serena Williams atop the list, with Danica Patrick, Venus Williams, Mia Hamm and Maria Sharapova filling out the top five.
