Tiger Woods has made several collaborations in the past with his primary association, TGR Foundations. Among them is the TGR Design, which focuses on constructing specialized golf courses under the supervision of Woods. The association recently joined hands with MLB superstar, Mike Trout, which will result in the latter’s dream golf course. However, a rather surprising fact about the Los Angeles Angels’ 27 has come to light.

The ten-time MLB All-Star has made one of the biggest collaborations between the two sports after partnering with golf legend, Tiger Woods, on his dream course project. The two ooze celebrity status in their respective fields and are surreal winners too.

Fittingly, the duo also command a high salary based on their popularity and stardom across continents. After years of resilience and hard work, Woods recently became the first-ever golf billionaire in the sport.

While Trout has been a towering player in his time, he hasn’t yet matched Woods’ figures yet. As per a Forbes estimate, the 31-year-old draws an annual salary of $35.5 million from his MLB franchise.

However, his off-course earnings might surprise you. Despite being one of the most recognized players on the field, Trout has a meager off-course earning of $14 million. According to sources, he will make $4 million as part of his endorsement deals this year.

How much does Tiger Woods earn off the course?

Trout’s figure falls short of what he brings to the table. The MLB star is a three-time American League MVP and nine-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award. He has played at the top circuit for years, and signed a long-term deal with his team worth $426.5 million, which was the most expensive contract in the sport’s history at the time of the announcement.

On the other hand, an aging Woods has been dependent upon his sponsorship earnings ever since his golfing days were shortened. The 47-year-old made only a handful of appearances last year but made $68 million on the back of his endorsement deals.

The current Woods-Trout project, which focuses on building a golf course, will be open by 2025. If Trout’s tweet is anything to go by, the beautiful course will be named the ‘Trout National – The Reserve.’
