Tiger Woods has an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion in 2026 — making him the first golfer and one of only a handful of athletes ever to reach billionaire status. His full Tiger Woods profile covers verified career earnings and current income sources.
Prize Money: $120M+
Woods has earned over $120 million in official PGA Tour prize money — the most in golf history. But prize money is actually the smallest component of his wealth. Compare with Rory McIlroy's earnings and Jon Rahm's LIV deal.
The Nike Partnership — 27 Years
From 1996 to 2024, Woods had one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in sports history with Nike. The total value across 27 years has been estimated at over $500 million. Nike built an entire division around him. When he ended the partnership in 2024, it marked the end of an era for sports marketing.
Sun Day Red — His Own Brand
In 2024, Woods launched Sun Day Red, an apparel brand in partnership with TaylorMade Golf. Rather than taking another endorsement fee, he took equity — meaning his wealth grows directly with the brand's success. This mirrors the creator economy model where athletes become brand owners rather than brand ambassadors.
Course Design as a Revenue Stream
TGR Design, his golf course design company, has designed and redesigned courses globally. Course design fees range from $1–5 million per project plus ongoing royalties. This provides consistent income independent of his playing career.
The 2019 Masters — Sport's Greatest Comeback
His victory at the 2019 Masters — 11 years after his previous major win, following back surgery, personal scandal, and questions about whether he'd ever play again — is considered by many the greatest comeback in sports history. It added hundreds of millions to his commercial value overnight.
