What is Tiger Woods’ Net Worth?

Ever wondered how to crack into the elite billionaire club? Well, being a master on the golf greens is a pretty good start. In 2022, pro golfer Tiger Woods etched his name into financial history books, racking up a net worth of at least $US 1 billion (AUD$1,538,604,000). And this is before turning down a jaw-dropping ‘high nine digits’ offer to join a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour.

With news that the golf legend has officially severed ties with Nike after one of the most lucrative partnerships in sports history, it’s worth looking at Tiger Woods’ net worth figure. Woods’ career has been a rollercoaster of triumph, injury, scandal, setbacks, and remarkable comebacks. Through highs and lows, Woods has remained a titan in the sports world, amassing over $1 billion from earnings, endorsements, and other ventures in his 27-year career. That’s a record-breaking feat. Wondering how he got there? Because FYI – just 10% of Tiger Woods’ net worth comes from golf winnings.

Over his 27-year career, Forbes estimates Tiger Woods has amassed a staggering $1.7 billion, before taxes and agents’ fees. While he’s the highest earner in professional golf history with $121 million in prize money, it’s even more incredible that these winnings form less than 10% of his total income.

The majority of Woods’ wealth stems from his endorsements with major brands like Nike, TaylorMade, and Monster Energy. Beyond the golf course, Woods is a savvy businessman. He runs a successful golf course design company and has a partnership with Discovery’s GolfTV for streaming content.

Not to mention his highly-rated memoir Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian published by HarperCollins. There’s no accurate data available on how many books have been sold since it was published in April 2023, but no doubt he’s made some nice coin from it.

Tiger Woods, born Eldrick Tont Woods is – for lack of a better term – a global sports icon. Bursting onto the professional greens scene in 1996, Woods quickly became a household name, not just for his skill with a golf club but for his intense focus and fierce competitive spirit. Known for his remarkable consistency and ability to perform under pressure, Woods has clinched 15 major championships, including five Masters titles.

But what’s more impressive is his legacy has extended beyond the fairways. He’s a trailblazer who’s reshaped golf, bringing it to a wider, more diverse audience. His impact is seen in the surge of interest and participation in the sport since his rise to fame. Off the course, he’s equally influential, with his business ventures and charity work. The TGR Foundation, for example, focuses on providing resources for youth education.

Woods is also well known for his numerous affairs of the years, which came to light in late 2009. Numerous women claimed affairs with Woods, leading to intense media scrutiny and a pretty tarnished public image. Fair enough.

Woods admitted to his infidelities, apologised to his family and fans, and took a break from golf to focus on personal issues. The scandal had significant repercussions, however, including the loss of sponsorships and a hit to his reputation. It also led to his divorce from Elin Nordegren in 2010.
