‘Tiger’
Woods has had the most successful weeks of any professional golfer, and he has also held the World Number One ranking for the most weeks overall. He has won the PGA Player of the Year award an unprecedented 11 times, and he has led the money list in 10 consecutive seasons. It’s no surprise that Tiger Woods tops the list of the world’s wealthiest golfers, given his decades of influence and power. The megastar golfer had a run of dominance that will almost certainly never be equaled – ever. Woods’ net worth is estimated to be $850 million.
