Tiger Woods has done wonders to the game of golf. But there is one more name that comes to mind while talking about successful golfers. It is none other than the six-time major champion and LIV Golf fame, Phil Mickelson. But what will it take for Mickelson to match the financial sides of his career with Tiger Woods?

According to Forbes, Phil Mickelson is currently the highest-paid golfer in the world, even leaving behind Woods. But Lefty is still nowhere near the net-worth of the 15-time major champion. If we look at the riches of both the players, Phil Mickelson is nearly $500 million behind Tiger Woods!

Phil Mickelson recently joined the LIV Golf league and became the highest-earning player making $200 million from the Saudi deal. On the other hand, Tiger Woods turned down an alleged $800 million LIV Golf offer from Greg Norman.

Thanks to LIV Golf, Mickelson crossed $1 billion in career earnings as per Forbes. While Woods chose to protect his legacy and lifetime membership on the PGA Tour. According to sources, Woods’ total career earnings have crossed $1.4 billion.

Woods earns less than 10% of his total earnings from golf winnings. And most of his income comes from brands like Gatorade, Monster Energy, TaylorMade, Rolex, and Nike. Whereas Mickelson lost most of his sponsors including Workday and KPMG since he joined LIV Golf.

When many players shifted to LIV Golf leaving behind the PGA Tour, Woods made a few statements regarding their switch. The golf star said that the players had “turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position.” No other player responded to Woods’ comments about LIV Golf.

Mickelson was asked about Woods’ comments at St. Andrews after his first round. He said, “I certainly respect his opinion…I have a lot of respect for him. I respect his opinion. I think everybody’s going to have strong emotions and opinions about it, and I certainly respect his.” [{ "selector": ".wkkoz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-350px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
