What is Tiger Woods net worth? How much money has he made on and off the course?

One of the all-time greats, Tiger Woods has won a staggering 82 official PGA Tour events during a stellar career that has seen him earn more than any other golfer in history.

Who is Tiger Woods?

Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on Dec. 30, 1975 to parents Earl and Kutilda Woods in Cypress, California. A child prodigy, Woods was playing golf under his father’s tutelage from the age of two. Indeed, at the age of three in 1978, Woods was featured on the Mike Douglas Show where he putted against comedian Bob Hope. He would go on to shoot a 48 over nine holes at the Navy course. Later, at five years old he would again come to national attention when he appeared in Golf Digest before appearing on ABC’s ‘That’s Incredible.’ The young ‘Tiger’ would go on to win countless youth tournaments including the Junior World Championships an incredible six times.

It was at the age of 20 in 1996 when Tiger turned professional in August of that year. Almost immediately he was signed by Nike to what would turn out to be the most lucrative endorsement deal in golf history at that time. Woods would go on to be named both Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year and the PGA’s Rookie of the Year in that first year and believe it or not would win his first major - the Masters - just one year later on 13 April 1997, making him the tournament’s youngest winner ever at the tender age of 21. Then just two months later, Woods would set the record for the quickest climb to No.1 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Needless to say from those early days to now, there have been a whole lot of titles won and records broken. Where just majors are concerned, Tiger has won the Masters five times, The PGA Championship on four occasions, The U.S. Open three times, and the Open Championship three times. There are of course countless other wins, which can be seen here.

What is Tiger Woods’ net worth?

With the kind of success that Woods has seen on the course, one can imagine that his earnings would be equally as impressive. In reality, Tiger’s net worth is more than impressive, it’s something to behold. At 48 years of age, the record-breaking golfer has accumulated more career earnings than any other golfer in the PGA Tour history with an eye-opening $2.1 billion. Of course, his triumphs on the course have also been matched by those off of it as endorsements and the like have seen him arrive at an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion according to Forbes.

What about Woods’ sponsors and assets?

While his exploits on the golf course are exceptional and well documented, they don’t account for the entirety of his wealth, in fact, the large majority of his earnings actually come from an extensive list of sponsors which include but are not limited to Rolex, Bridgestone Golf, Monster Energy Drink, 2K, Upper Deck, and Kowa. Tiger is second behind only Michael Jordan as the highest-earning athlete in history with $2.69 billion. He recently parted ways with Nike after 27 years and $500 million.

Where Woods’ assets are concerned, there are of course a plethora of cars in his garages such as Lamborghinis, Porches and Bentleys, but perhaps the most stand-out piece in the portfolio is his home in Miami valued at approximately $53 million. Interestingly, Woods also owns and operates a golf course design firm (TGR Design), as well as a live events series (TGR Live) and even an upscale sports bar (The Woods).
