The greens of Augusta National did miss the roars of Tiger Woods. The 49-year-old missed the Masters for the 5th time after rupturing his left Achilles. While he may be away from the sport, Woods always remains the hottest topic in the sport.
Tiger became a Billionaire back in 2022, following his official announcement with Forbes. Fast forward to today, the PGA Tour Legend received a stellar new update regarding his earnings. Sportico’s Kurt Badenhausen revealed the annual list of top 50 highest-paid athletes of all time.
Though his former buddy Michael Jordan led the list, Woods earned 2nd position with inflated adjusted earnings of $2.79 Billion while it remains $1.91 Billion without the adjusted calculation. The 49-year-old has barely competed professionally lately. His last performance came back at the 2024 Open Championship, during which he failed to make the cut.
However, Tiger Woods made the headlines this year after the inaugural TGL season, a stimulative golf league founded by him and Rory McIlroy. Along with this, the 15-time Major winner also has deals with Rolex, Gillette, Gatorade, Accenture, Monster Energy, Bridgestone and most importantly TaylorMade. Woods announced he was parting ways with Nike after 27 year long relationship to join TaylorMade and start “Sun Day Red”, home of exclusive Tiger Woods merchandise.
Woods has always been an entrepreneur throughout his golf career. Apart from his off the course earnings, his all time PGA Tour earnings currently stand at $120,999,166. Despite rejecting LIV Golf’s Reported $800 Million Offer, he still has enough Billions to maintain his position in the rankings of Highest Paid Athletes of All Time. Tiger’s return to the professional golf still remains clouded.
