Golf Career

After becoming a professional golfer in 1996, he was immediately offered deals with Nike, Inc. and Titleist, as he had gained considerable fame due to his collegiate career. These were some of the most lucrative deals in the history of golf.

He won the Masters, his first major tournament, in 1997. He also set the record in the Official World Golf Ranking for the fastest ascent to No. 1.

He had a great start to the new millennium with six consecutive wins in 2000. One of his victories for the year was the U.S. Open, where he broke or equaled nine records, including becoming the youngest golfer to achieve the Career Grand Slam.

The next two seasons were not that great for him. However, his form returned in 2005, and he won six official PGA Tour money events. He closed the 2006 season with 54 wins.

In 2007, his issues with vision became noticeable again (the first laser eye surgery he had was in 1999). In order to fix the problem, Woods decided to undergo another operation, once more with much success.

Around the same time, Tiger began to experience significant problems with his knee. This caused him to undergo knee surgery in April of 2008. He was forced to take a break from the 2008 U.S. Open, but he returned to the competition just two months later.

Despite some difficulties, he managed to win over Rocco Mediate, only to announce two days later that he had to pull out from the rest of the season to continue his treatment, as his knee injury was more serious than previously thought.

Woods himself called this his “greatest ever championship.” Such sentiment was reflected in the viewership of the rest of the season, which dropped significantly after Woods’ departure.

Woods was enthusiastically welcomed back to golf in 2009. He did not disappoint his fans and performed exceptionally well, winning the 2009 Presidents Cup with a remarkable performance. This didn’t go in hand with his private life, though, as near the end of this year, it was revealed that Woods was involved in a cheating scandal.

His sponsors canceled their contracts, and his rankings also fell. For the first time in his career, he could not win a single event. In December of the same year, after receiving a significant backlash, Tiger announced he was taking a break from golf.

In 2011, his dismal performances continued. Woods tied for fourth place at the 2011 Masters but had to miss some stops at that year’s PGA Tour due to his contusion. The turbulences also occurred in Woods’ close team, as around this time, Tiger fired his longtime caddie, Steve Williams. Eventually, he was replaced with Joe LaCava.

In 2012, he did not manage to have significant victories in his competitions – the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but he tied for second at The Honda Classic. Still, this turned out to be the lowest final-round score for Woods in his entire PGA Tour career.

The following years in his career were filled with grand comebacks and falling out of form caused by back and knee injuries. His biggest wins in recent years were second place in the 2018 PGA Championship, winning the 2019 Masters, and victory at the 2020 PGA Tour.

In 2021, he had a car accident, but he was able to return to sport at the 2022 Masters Tournament, where he finished in 47th place.

Tiger Woods was officially inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2021.

Private Life

Tiger Woods is the only child from his parents’ marriage, but he has a half-sister and two half-brothers. He married Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model and the daughter of journalist Thomas Nordegren and former Minister of Migration Barbro Holmberg, in 2004 at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados.

The couple purchased a $39 million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida. Their first child, Sam Alexis Woods, was born in 2007, and two years later, the couple welcomed their second child, Charlie Axel Woods. After the infidelity scandal, Tiger and Elin got divorced in 2010.

How Does Tiger Woods Spend His Money?

The highly acclaimed golf player has much to show for his career and earnings. His time on the golf course resulted in $118 million in earnings.

It’s roughly about 7.6% of his total career earnings, though, as most of Woods’s money comes from the enormous endorsement deals he has with Nike, Gatorade, Golf Digest, American Express, Rolex, Monster Energy, AT&T, and NetJets, amongst others.

Tiger’s career earnings in this department reached $1.6 billion, which is more than 92% of his total earnings.

Woods joins Michael Jordan and LeBron James as one of the highest-paid players up to date, entering the billionaires club thanks to his endorsement deals.

How does he spend his golf winnings? Woods owns real estate and other assets. The most significant would be:

• The 12-acre ocean-front estate in Jupiter, Florida, is worth $75 million,
• $25 million yacht “Privacy,”
• $54 million Gulfstream G550 private jet,
• His golf design business, Tiger Woods Design, focused on designing golf courses around the world.
