The five-time Masters champion’s total earnings as of 2019 stand at a whopping $1.6 billion. Meaning, that Tiger is still to reach the enormous amount of $2 billion in total career earnings, given he did not play much in the 2020-2021 season. Despite Tiger not playing much competitive golf in 2021, he earned a whopping $60 million from his endorsements alone.
