Woods’ and Federer’s brand endorsement earnings

Like Woods, Federer also became the world’s top-paid athlete in 2020. However, he fell to No. 7 in 2022. Federer has numerous deals signed with big names; one of his longest deals is with Uniqlo, for 10 years, and is worth $300 million.

Is Tiger Woods Still a Billionaire?

The tennis legend’s namesake foundation has raised over $50 million. But all that money has gone towards the education of underprivileged children in Africa. The athlete has a $70 million salary, and has made $90 million from endorsements. His famous and biggest sponsors include Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Mercedes-Benz, NetJets, On, RIMOWA, Rolex, Sunrise Communications AG, Switzerland Tourism, etc.

Tiger Woods, on the other hand, has endorsements of the likes of Nike, which happens to be the golfer’s oldest and biggest sponsor. Other brands that Woods works with include Gatorade, Rolex, Monster Energy, etc.

According to sources, Woods makes only 10% of his total income directly from his career winnings. And the rest of his income depends on brand deals and endorsements. Woods is also an investor for Nexus Luxury Collection and also owns a golf course design business. Woods is officially a billionaire and is still making millions of dollars every year through the sport.

Hence, it can be concluded that Woods, with a net worth of $1 billion, is way ahead of Federer who sits at $550 million. But when it comes to career winnings, Federer definitely takes the lead.
