Five-time Master’s Tournament winner Tiger Woods was in a horrific single-car accident on Tuesday which has left fans wondering if his career is over after suffering from severe injuries. While fans wait to see what the outcome is, here’s a look into how much the golfer is actually worth due to all of his success.
The 45-year-old has been in the limelight for decades for his ability to play the game of golf, as well as some of his drama off the course. Overall, he’s won 15 major tournaments, has had 81 PGA Tour wins and has won 41 European tours.
Woods’ net worth has been around $800 million for a few years, according to Forbes and ESPN. His high worth is from both his winnings and his endorsements from Bridgestone, Discovery Communications, Inc., Hero Motocorp, Monster Energy, Nike, Rolex, TaylorMade and Upper Deck
