Tiger Woods’s net worth is estimated at $1.5 billion as of October 2026, according to Forbes, which has counted the 15-time major champion as a billionaire since 2022. Woods built that fortune less from prize money than from three decades of endorsements, led by a 27-year run with Nike, and he has since moved into business ownership through TMRW Sports, the TGL indoor golf league, his Sun Day Red apparel line and a string of property and leisure investments.
Published figures for Woods differ mainly because of timing. Forbes updates its estimate continuously, while estimate sites refresh theirs a few times a year and older headlines still quote figures from before he crossed $1 billion. Because Forbes publishes a current Tier A number, we use it as our headline rather than building our own model. The Radar Readout below lines up the main estimates and explains how we treat them.

You vs. Tiger
At $60,000 a year, it would take you 25,000 years to earn Tiger’s estimated $1.5 billion, before tax and without spending a cent. His five-year Nike extension signed in 2000 ($105 million) equals 1,750.0 years of your pay.
Sources and how we estimated this
Because a Tier A figure exists, we use the Forbes real-time estimate of $1.5 billion as our headline rather than building our own model. Forbes bases it on nearly $2 billion in pretax career earnings, his homes on Jupiter Island and stakes in businesses such as TMRW Sports, Popstroke and Nexxus. Our range of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion reflects how hard it is to value those private stakes. How we fact-check

How Tiger Woods’s $1.5 Billion Net Worth Is Built
Forbes does not publish an itemized balance sheet for Woods, so we do not split the $1.5 billion into invented slices. What Forbes does say is that he has earned nearly $2 billion before tax over his professional career, and that he has put that money into two homes on Jupiter Island, Florida, a golf course design business, the Popstroke mini-golf chain, TMRW Sports and Nexxus, a luxury real estate venture with Justin Timberlake and British billionaire Joe Lewis. The table below lists the reported building blocks. They overlap and do not add up to the headline figure.
| Wealth source | What is reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Career earnings, all sources | Nearly $2 billion before tax | Forbes |
| Official PGA Tour prize money | $120,999,166 | PGA Tour |
| Share of earnings from playing golf | Less than 10 percent | Golf Digest, citing Forbes |
| Nike extension signed in 2000 | $105 million over five years | Wikipedia |
| Jupiter Island estate | Bought for $39 million in 2006 | Wikipedia |
| Business stakes | TMRW Sports, Jupiter Links, Popstroke, Nexxus, Tiger Woods Design | Forbes, Wikipedia |
Our range of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion reflects how hard it is to value private stakes such as TMRW Sports and his property. The low end matches the Celebrity Net Worth figure, and the high end allows for those stakes being worth more than outsiders can see.
82 Wins, 15 Majors and a Record $121 Million in Prize Money
Woods was born Eldrick Tont Woods in Cypress, California, played college golf at Stanford and turned professional at 20 in August 1996. He won his first major, the 1997 Masters, in record-breaking fashion and became the tournament’s youngest champion at 21. He went on to win 15 majors, second only to Jack Nicklaus’s 18: the Masters in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2019, the PGA Championship in 1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007, the U.S. Open in 2000, 2002 and 2008, and the Open Championship in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
His 82 PGA Tour wins tie Sam Snead’s all-time record, and he topped the Tour’s money list 10 times. The PGA Tour lists his official career earnings at $120,999,166, the most in Tour history. He also won the FedEx Cup in 2007 and 2009. Forbes reported in 2009 that he had become the first professional athlete to earn more than $1 billion over a career, a total that included the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus.
The 82nd win, which tied Snead, came at the 2019 Zozo Championship in Japan, the first PGA Tour event ever played there. The PGA Tour’s official channel has the full broadcast of every shot from that week.
Nike and the Endorsements Behind the Fortune
Prize money explains only a small slice of his wealth. Golf Digest, reporting Forbes’ 2022 calculation, said less than 10 percent of Woods’s career earnings and net worth came from playing golf. From 2003 to 2012 he made more than $100 million a year off the course, and Forbes has named him the world’s highest-paid athlete a record 11 times, including 10 years in a row from 2002 to 2011.
Nike sat at the center of it. Woods signed with the company when he turned pro in 1996, and in 2000 he signed a five-year, $105 million extension that was the largest endorsement package for any athlete at the time. He also earned a share of Nike Golf sales and has a building named after him at Nike’s headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. Celebrity Net Worth estimates the Nike relationship was worth about $700 million in total. The partnership ended on January 8, 2024, after 27 years.
His other partners over the years included:
- General Motors, Titleist, General Mills, American Express and Accenture, all signed around the time he turned pro in 1996.
- Buick, renewed in February 2004 for five years in a deal reportedly worth $40 million.
- Gatorade, which launched a “Gatorade Tiger” drink in 2007 in a deal reportedly worth up to $100 million over five years.
- Gillette, which made him an ambassador in 2007 alongside Roger Federer and Thierry Henry.
- TAG Heuer, Electronic Arts and, since January 2017, TaylorMade for his clubs.
Several sponsors, including Accenture, AT&T, Gatorade and General Motors, ended their deals after his personal scandal in late 2009. Nike stayed with him.
Sun Day Red: Life After Nike
About a month after the Nike split, Woods launched Sun Day Red on February 12, 2024, a golf apparel brand created in partnership with TaylorMade. The line launched with Woods’s signature red shirt. Financial terms of the partnership have not been made public, so we do not assign it a separate value. In January 2025, Puma and a company called Tigeraire filed challenges to the brand’s tiger logos with the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
TMRW Sports, TGL and Jupiter Links
Woods’s biggest new business is TMRW Sports, which he co-founded in 2022 with Rory McIlroy and sports executive Mike McCarley. Its first product, TGL, was announced with the PGA Tour on August 24, 2022, as a six-team league that blends real shots with a giant simulator screen. A storm damaged the original roof of its purpose-built venue, the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, pushing the launch back a year to January 7, 2025. ESPN holds the media rights under a multi-year deal.
Woods is a co-owner of the Jupiter Links Golf Club team, alongside sports investor David Blitzer, and plays for it. Jupiter Links reached the 2026 TGL final in March 2026 before losing the championship match to the Los Angeles Golf Club. TGL’s official channel posted every shot Woods hit in the second match of that final.
TMRW Sports has grown beyond TGL. It brought back the Skins Game on Amazon Prime Video on November 28, 2025, announced a women’s league, WTGL, with the LPGA in January 2026, and in February 2026 was chosen to run a professional flag football league under development with the NFL. Sportico reported that TGL’s Detroit expansion team, Motor City Golf Club, carried a $70 million price tag, which gives a sense of how the league’s franchises are valued. Woods’s own percentage of TMRW Sports has not been disclosed.
The LIV Offer He Turned Down
Woods also passed up one of the largest paydays in golf history. LIV Golf’s then-chief executive Greg Norman said Woods turned down an offer in the “high nine digits” to join the Saudi-backed league. Woods has not commented on the figure. He has instead stayed closely tied to the PGA Tour, and in August 2025 he was named chair of the Tour’s new Future Competition Committee, set up to review how the Tour’s events are run.
Where Tiger Woods Stands in 2026
Woods turned 50 in December 2025, making him eligible for the PGA Tour Champions. His body has limited how much he can play. He suffered compound fractures in his right leg in a February 2021 single-car crash, and by March 2026 he had reportedly undergone 20 leg surgeries and seven back surgeries.
On March 27, 2026, days after the TGL final, Woods was involved in a rollover crash near his home on Jupiter Island and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. A breath test found no alcohol. He pleaded not guilty, said he was stepping away from golf to seek treatment, and missed the 2026 Masters. Reports said he would also step down as chair of the Future Competition Committee. In September 2026 he reached a plea deal for willful reckless driving. None of this has changed the Forbes estimate, which still stood at $1.5 billion in April 2026 and again in late October.
Why Other Sites Say $1.3 Billion
The main estimates are close, and the gap comes down to timing and method. Celebrity Net Worth, last updated in March 2026, puts Woods at $1.3 billion. It also estimates his annual earnings, for example $55.4 million in 2025, and puts his total career earnings above $2 billion. Older articles still quote the $600 million Forbes estimated in 2009 or the “at least $1 billion” it reported in June 2022.
