“One of the things I admire most about Tiger is that at the completion of a tournament, you’d go into the scorer’s hut, and you sign your scorecard, and you hand it in. And they always have a sheet with the prize money allocation for everybody so you can look up on the screen to see how you finished and look down and see how much you won.”

“Tiger never, ever once took a look at that… He played to win trophies and create records, not for prize money,” revealed Williams, expressing his admiration for Woods’ unique mindset.

The billionaire golfer who played for trophies, not money

This revelation provides a glimpse into the enigmatic personality that propelled Woods to unprecedented success. Despite amassing a net worth of $1.1 billion, making him the first billionaire golfer in history, Woods remained driven by his love for the game and his relentless pursuit of excellence.

Woods owes a substantial portion of his immense wealth to his astute business acumen and lucrative endorsement deals. Partnerships with global brands like Nike, Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade have contributed significantly to his financial success. In 2022 alone, Woods earned a staggering $68 million from endorsements. While solidifying his position as one of the highest-earning athletes in the world.

Beyond his financial achievements, Woods’ impact on the golfing world is immeasurable. With a remarkable 82 all-time PGA TOUR victories. He shares the record for the most wins in PGA Tour history with the legendary Sam Snead. Woods achieved numerous historical milestones throughout his career. Also including becoming the youngest golfer to complete the career grand slam at the age of 24, and simultaneously holding all four major trophies in 2001.
