Tiger Woods, widely regarded as one of the best golfers of all time, has reached a key financial milestone, increasing his net worth to an astonishing $1.1 billion, confirming his status among U.S. Black billionaires.
According to Forbes, a U.S. business magazine that counts the fortunes of the world’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Woods’ net worth has climbed by $100 million since the beginning of the year, climbing from $1 billion on January 1 to $1.1 billion at the time of writing.
Woods, who earned the coveted billionaire title in 2022, becoming the second active athlete to do so after LeBron James, now ranks not just among America’s richest Black billionaires, but also among the world’s Black billionaires.
His fortune has earned him a spot in the elite group of the world’s richest Black billionaires. Woods is also the world’s 2,463rd wealthiest person, according to Forbes.
Woods currently has a net worth of $1.1 billion, owing to his wise financial decisions and diverse investments. These include his riches from a successful golf career as well as his diverse interests through TGR Ventures.
Woods has invested in a variety of enterprises through TGR ventures, including Full Swing, a golf technology training tool; Heard, a pioneering hospitality software startup; and PopStroke, an upscale mini-golf experience that has spread to many sites around the United States.
TGR Ventures exemplifies Woods’ unwavering commitment to leaving a legacy that beyond his great golf career. Outside of the golf course, this creative company serves as a cohesive platform for his entrepreneurial and humanitarian endeavors.
“TGR is my chapter two — my way of building a legacy that’s about more than birdies and bogies,” Woods said, referring to his desire to leave a legacy that extends beyond his golfing successes, an aim that reflects his depth beyond golfing scores.
Woods has collected a stunning $1.8 billion over his professional career, including a record-breaking $121 million in PGA Tour prize money. His perseverance and drive continue to inspire others both inside and outside of the golfing world.
