Tiger Woods parlayed a dominant run in professional golf into one of the biggest business empires in history, overcoming a scandal in his personal life that nearly derailed his career in the process.
Woods, 44, earned $63 million in the 12 months ending in July 2019 alone, including $54 million from a lucrative array of endorsement deals. A win at the 2019 Masters Tournament in Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia marked Woods’ first major championship in more than a decade.
An 11-time PGA Player of the Year, Woods has earned more than $120 million in prize money during his lengthy career in pro golf. However, those winnings pale in comparison to his earnings from endorsement deals.
