Tiger Woods isn’t just one of the greatest golfers of all time – he’s also one of the richest athletes in the world. In 2025, Tiger Woods’ net worth is estimated at a staggering $1.3 billion, according to Forbes and other industry analysts.
So how did Tiger build such a massive fortune, and what does it look like today? Let’s break it down.
Golf Career Earnings: The Foundation
Woods has earned over $120 million in official PGA Tour winnings alone, holding the record for the most career earnings until recently. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. His wins in international events, unofficial tournaments, and appearance fees have padded those numbers significantly.
Even though injuries and off-course controversies slowed his career at times, Woods consistently remained a massive draw, bringing millions of fans and dollars to every tournament he entered.
Endorsements: The Real Jackpot
The real driver behind Tiger’s billionaire status? Endorsements. Woods has had decades-long partnerships with brands like Nike, TaylorMade, Bridgestone Golf, Monster Energy, and Rolex.
- Nike alone paid him over $200 million before phasing out its golf equipment line in 2016.
- TaylorMade took over on the equipment front, signing him to a multi-year deal.
- Bridgestone leveraged Woods’ input in developing golf balls and used his name heavily in campaigns.
In 2025, he remains a key face for TaylorMade and Monster, and his legacy still commands premium endorsement deals.
Investments and Business Ventures
Tiger didn’t just make money, he invested it.
He launched TGR Ventures, an umbrella company for all his businesses, including:
- TGR Design (golf course design)
- TGR Live (event management)
- The Woods Jupiter (his upscale Florida restaurant)
These ventures have expanded over the years, with new golf course projects in Mexico, the Middle East, and the U.S., generating multi-million-dollar contracts.
Real Estate and Lifestyle
Tiger owns a lavish $54 million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida, complete with a personal golf course, running track, and dock.
His car collection includes everything from a Porsche Carrera GT to a Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, though he keeps a lower profile these days.
Is Tiger Still Competing?
Injuries continue to limit Tiger’s appearances on the PGA Tour. As of 2025, he plays a select few tournaments each year, mainly Majors, but remains involved in the sport through course design and mentoring young pros.
The Bottom Line
Tiger Woods isn’t just a golfer – he’s a brand, an empire, and a billionaire. In 2025, with a net worth of $1.3 billion, Tiger Woods stands as one of the wealthiest athletes ever, proving that championship-level talent can also lead to championship-level business moves.
