Tiger Woods is undoubtedly one of the richest athletes in the world. Apart from his rich stature, the golfer also has 82 professional wins. However, with Serena Williams competing in her final Grand Slam after an illustrious 27-year-long career, we compare how does the Tennis star and her sister Venus Williams’ net worth stand against golfing legend, Tiger Woods.

In many of Serena’s business endeavors, her elder sister Venus Williams also joins in as an investment partner. So with both sisters being in the sport since the 90s along with several side investments on the line, how close are they to the billionaire Tiger Woods?

Net Worth Comparison: Tiger Woods vs Serena Williams vs Venus Williams

Though Venus Williams may have lacked a win at Grand Slams in recent years, that doesn’t undermine her glory days. Venus has earned $42 million on the court. That was enough to make her the second highest-earning female tennis player of all time, putting her behind sister, Serena Williams ($92 million). Off the court, Venus typically makes between $5 million – $10 million per year from endorsements.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Venus’ net worth stands at $95 million. Nonetheless, talking about her sister Serena Williams, not only is she the richest female tennis player, but her earnings make her the richest female athlete of all time. Her net worth amounts to nearly $250 million as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Has Tiger Woods Ever Won the FedExCup?

Apart from her on-course earnings, Serena also enjoys a hefty amount of endorsement money, thanks to her contract with Nike and Kraft Foods. She signed a $40 million deal with Nike back in 2004, to create her own fashion line. Along with the endorsement, the 23 times Grand Slam winner has also invested in several businesses across the world. She owns a stake in the UFC and also is a part owner of the NFL franchise, Miami Dolphins, along with her sister.

In the world of sports, there are few athletes who perceive richness. And notably, Tiger Woods is one of them. Earlier this year, it was announced that Woods’ net worth has finally surpassed the billion dollar mark. With $121 million in prize money, it only counts nearly 10% of his total net worth. The rest of his wealth stems from endorsements with brands such as Nike, Gatorade, Rolex and Monster Energy, according to Forbes.

How far away are the Williams sisters in terms of net worth from Woods?

Despite all three athletes entering their respective sports during the same period, there is a massive difference in the earnings between the three. Tiger has dominated the world of golf, which has resulted in boosting his net worth.

With a combined net worth of $345 million among the Williams sisters, they still fall nearly $650 million short of the golfing legend. Moreover, both Serena and Venus are considered the most successful tennis stars of all time.

Despite their stellar accolades, what is concerning is the huge gender disparity that dwells across sports even in this day and age. It is but sad to imagine female legends of the likes of Serena and Venus Williams, who’ve gone on to transform Tennis and create magnificent milestones, be underpaid as compared to their male counterparts.

Tiger Woods may be the richest athlete among the three, but that doesn’t mean that Tennis G.O.A.T.s Serena and Venus Williams are in any way less hard working or receive fewer sponsorship deals. Its the gender inequality that sportswomen like Paige Spiranac and Simone Biles keep speaking up against, that remains persistent to this day.
