With the introduction of LIV Golf to the professional competition scene, there has never been more conversation in the sport regarding money. Know the net worth in 2022 of Tiger Woods
Signed contract numbers are now available that were previously only linked with the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball. Before they had teed up their first shot, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Bryson Dechambeau reportedly received more than $100 million from the new Saudi-backed golf venture.
Tiger Woods Net Worth As He Becomes A Billionaire According To Forbes, Career Earnings And Current World Ranking
There is one player in the game who is the GOAT on the course and at the bank, and he didn’t need the Saudis’ money to get there, as Forbes pointed out in a headline on Friday.
Tiger Woods has a net worth of at least $1 billion, according to Forbes, based on his lifetime earnings, making him one of just three athletes to hit the 10-figure milestone along, with LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Woods’ salary, endorsements, and other income totalled more than $1.7 billion throughout his 27-year career, according to Forbes, but his net worth is on another level.
He is currently 745th in the world.
Here are a few jaw-dropping bullet points from Forbes’ evaluation of Woods’ influence and worth:
• Playing golf accounts for less than 10% of Woods’ career earnings and net worth. (His total earnings on the PGA Tour are $120,895,206.) The majority of his wealth comes from multi-billion-dollar endorsement deals with more than a dozen companies.
• From 2003 to 2012, Woods earned more than $100 million per year of the course, and he was Forbes’ No. 1 sports earner for ten years.
• Woods has earned $68 million in the last year, despite the fact that he has only officially competed twice since his February 2021 automobile accident. According to Forbes, Woods has invested in a golf design company, a live events production company, restaurants and resorts, a golf technology teaching tool, a hospitality software startup, and a premium mini-golf experience with four locations in Florida and more on the way.
All of this, and according to LIV leader Greg Norman, Woods turned down an offer of the “mid nine digits” to join the upstart tour in an interview with the Washington Post.
Woods has not responded to Norman’s claim, but he did state his position on the PGA Tour vs. LIV before the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in May.
For the most part, Woods was never going to worry about his next paycheck, as Forbes statistics show.
