Despite turning down a massive – though undeclared – offer to join the upstart LIV Golf tour, Tiger Woods is a billionaire according to Forbes, and one of only two active sports stars to achieve that status. He’s thought to have earned about $1.8 billion (£1.33bn) pre-tax in his 28-year career, including a record $121 million (£89.3m) in PGA Tour winnings.

The vast majority of his wealth comes from commercial interests though. A longstanding endorsement deal with Nike earned him in the region of $500 million (£369m), though it’s now ended. Over the years, he’s also had lucrative associations with AT&T, Accenture, and sports drink companies Gatorade and Monster Energy. Meanwhile, Woods invests in luxury real estate and owns a golf course design firm and an indoor mini-golf chain among other businesses. In partnership with Rory McIlroy, he’s also established a sports media and tech company, TMRW Sports.
