Tiger Woods tops annual list of highest-paid athletes
In 2022 it looked like the athlete’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 15) that Woods is the highest-paid athlete in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American athlete has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Woods Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Cypress Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwoods - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Tiger) and a fashion line called “Tiger Woods Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Tiger fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
