According to Forbes, Woods is now a billionaire. He’s one of only two athletes to achieve the status while still active, alongside LeBron James.

At his peak in the late 2000s, Woods made $100 million annually off the course, Forbes reported. In 2020, Woods raked in $60 million in endorsements.

In 2009, news broke that Woods had been cheating on his wife, Elin Nordegren. Two days later, he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant outside his house.

Months later, several other women came forward to say they had affairs with Woods.

Before the Masters win in 2019, Woods hadn’t won a major golf championship since 2008, and before the Tour Championship, he had not won on tour since 2013.

When Woods was charged with driving under the influence, he blamed an “unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.” Woods had recently had a fourth surgery on his back, and police later said he had five drugs in his system at the time of the arrest.

After the divorce settlement, there were reports that he considered selling his 155-foot megayacht, Privacy, for $25 million. The boat was not sold, however, and Woods now docks it in North Palm Beach, Florida.

The breaks can be adjusted with a touch screen, and it even traces lines to show the best line.

He turned out for multiple games during the 2017 World Series.

He is good friends with Rafael Nadal and has sat in his box for a number of matches.

Aside from watching sports, Woods also likes to spend his time working out — maybe too much at times during his career. His old coach Hank Haney once said, “My opinion is he really overdoes that.”

Haney would also suggest that Woods pushed himself physically because he wanted to be viewed as an athlete, saying that Woods viewed injuries as “a way of being accepted into the fraternity of superstars who played more physical sports than golf.”

“He struggles to sleep,” Rory McIlroy said of Woods, “which I think is an effect of overtraining, so I tell him to calm down sometimes. He’d be texting me at 4 o’clock in the morning: ‘Up lifting. What are you doing?'”

Woods says he likes to practice all day, but when he was recovering from surgery, he filled his time by playing “Call of Duty” eight hours a day, with a 30-minute lunch break. Despite that, Woods said he was still getting beat by 7-year-olds when he played online.

“After years of meals on the road, he decided to bring his vision of an elevated sports bar to life at home in Jupiter,” its website says.

The ESPN columnist Rick Reilly said in 2013 the golfer was rumored to replace all the furniture in the houses he rented during tournaments with his own, even if he was there for only a few days.

Tiger owns a Gulfstream G550 private jet, worth about $54 million. But in 2017, for the first time in 10 years, Woods took a commercial flight, from Los Angeles to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

According to one story, Woods wanted to be just one of the guys when he was having lunch with a group of Navy Seals and did not pick up the check, irritating and confusing the seals.

He also runs a golf-design business. He opened his first US course in Houston in 2015 and was said to be designing a Trump International Golf Club course in Dubai.

At the end of 2016, the two played at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. “What most impressed me was how far he hits the ball at 70 years old,” Woods told CNN of Trump. Woods has also played with Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

He spent a lot of time with Erica Herman at the Presidents Cup in 2017, and was seen at several other tournaments, including Tiger’s win at the Masters in 2019. She was the general manager for Woods’ restaurant.

The couple was together for about six years. Herman is now asking a court to allow her out of a non-disclosure agreement that Woods had her sign. She is alleging the NDA is no longer valid, citing the Speak Out Act, which prohibits enforcement of NDAs in cases of sexual harassment or assault.

In early 2021, Woods was involved in a horrific car accident that left him with several severe leg injuries. That accident, which nearly ended his career, kept him off the course for more than year. He later made a stunning comeback to compete in the 2022 Masters.

Woods took in $8 million from the PGA Tour’s inaugural “Player Impact Program.” The award goes to the tour’s most popular player based on metrics such as social media. 

In late 2022, Greg Norman told Tucker Carlson that he had offered Woods $700 million to join the new Saudi-backed LIV golf league. Norman later clarified that the money was not offered up front but was an estimate of how much Woods would have earned during his time with LIV. 

The PGA Tour announced a number of changes late in 2022 aimed at combatting the defection of golfers to LIV Golf. One of those was a partnership a new tech-based golf league backed by Tiger and McIlroy. The league will have teams made up of tour golfers that will compete in a “tech-infused” stadium setting in primetime, hoping to appeal to a younger audience.
