Tiger Woods has an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Tiger Woods profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.1 billion in 2023.
Tiger Woods is an American professional golfer who became one of the biggest names in sports soon after turning pro in 1996. In 1997, he won the Masters by 12 strokes for his first major title. He reached the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking in June 1997, less than a year after going pro. In 2000, he won the U.S. Open by 15 strokes, and in 2001 he completed 4 straight major wins across a one-year span.
His wealth comes from much more than tournament prizes. Forbes says Woods has earned nearly $2 billion pretax in his pro golf career, including a PGA Tour-record $121 million in prize money. He also built businesses and investments around golf and real estate. Those include a golf-course design business, the mini-golf chain PopStroke, and TMRW Sports, which he co-founded with Rory McIlroy in 2022 and which launched TGL in 2025.
How Tiger Woods makes money
Woods made his name on the course first. He owns some of the biggest records in golf, including 82 PGA Tour wins, tied for the all-time mark, and 15 major championships. Forbes says his career prize money alone has reached a PGA Tour-record $121 million. In the 12 months to May 2025, Forbes estimated his total earnings at $55.4 million, with $10.4 million from salary, winnings and bonuses.
Most of that recent income came away from competition. Forbes put his off-the-field total at $45 million for that same period. Over time, Woods turned golf earnings into investments, including homes on Jupiter Island, a golf-course design business and PopStroke. In 2022, he and Rory McIlroy started TMRW Sports, a tech-focused company that launched TGL in 2025. He is also a partner in the luxury real-estate venture Nexxus with Justin Timberlake and Joe Lewis.
Forbes net worth and business moves
Forbes put Woods at $1.1 billion on its World's Billionaires List in 2023, then $1.3 billion in 2024 and $1.4 billion in 2025. Forbes had already certified him as a billionaire in 2022, saying he was only the second active athlete ever to reach that mark after LeBron James. That estimate rests on a long mix of golf income, endorsements and business holdings built over many years.
By 2026, Forbes valued Woods at $1.5 billion, and its real-time tracker still showed $1.5 billion as of October 20, 2026. Forbes notes that he reached that level even after turning down a LIV Golf offer that Greg Norman said would have been in the high 9 digits. Instead, his wealth base includes prize money, endorsements, homes on Jupiter Island, golf design work, PopStroke, TMRW Sports and Nexxus.
