Tiger Woods is one of the best golfers on the PGA Tour. He revolutionized golf as a sport and brought global recognition to the game with his incredible golfing skills. Notably, he has 82 PGA Tours, and 15 major championship wins in his career so far. Tiger currently ties with Sam Snead in the most PGA Tour wins and is the second-highest major championship winner.

<h2><strong>Lee Westwood 2023: Net worth, salary and endorsements</strong></h2>
Lee John Westwood OBE is an English professional golfer. After playing multiple sports like rugby, cricket, and soccer in school, Westwood made golf his focus at the age of 13 when he started practicing with a half set that his grandparents gifted him.

Although he was a late bloomer, Westwood started excelling early. From multiple Ryder Cup wins to reaching World No. 1, Westwood is one of the most prolific golfers of his time. Let's dive in to learn more!
<h2>Early life and family</h2>
Lee John Westwood was born on 24 April 1973 to parents John and Trish in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. His father is a mathematics teacher by profession and is responsible for encouraging Lee to take up the sport. He also has a sister named Yolanda.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Westwood is currently married to Helen Storey, who is a fitness instructor and also his caddie. They tied the knot in June 2021 after being together for over five years. He also has a son and a daughter from his previous marriage to Laurae Coltart. His son has also caddied for him in multiple events.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Despite being a late entrant than most, Westwood went on to register wins early on in his amateur career. Less than two years after beginning to play, he became the junior champion of Nottinghamshire. In August 1989, he represented England in the Boys Home International. In 1990 and 1991, he was also part of the Great Britain and Ireland Boys squad for the Jacques Léglise Trophy.

His first-ever amateur win came at the Peter McAvoy Trophy in 1991. He eventually turned professional after claiming the British Youths Amateur Championship in 1993.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
His first win as a professional came in the 1996 Volvo Scandinavian Masters, which was followed by another victory at the Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters in Japan. Westwood saw more success in 1997 as he not only defended the Japanese title but also won the Malaysian Open, the Volvo Masters in Spain, and the Holden Australian Open.

In his first 29 years as a pro, the golfer registered at least one win in 15 of them. His most wins in a single year is seven, a feat he accomplished in both 1998 and 2000. Westwood is also among the few players who have recorded wins across five different continents: Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

When he became the world number one in October 2010, Westwood became the first English golfer to do so since Faldo. He is also one of the few golfers to have held the number-one ranking despite not having a single major win. Westwood's 25 career wins on the DP World Tour puts him eighth on the all-time list.

In 2012, the golfer was appointed OBE (Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace for his services to golf.
<h2>Ryder Cup achievements</h2>
In his long and illustrious career, Lee Westwood has witnessed much success in the Ryder Cup. Since his debut appearance in 1997, he has played for Europe in the biennial tournament 11 times and has also appeared in a record 47 Ryder Cup matches.

[caption id="attachment_775327" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-775327 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-22T153843Z_2065127961_UP1EH9M17GH1D_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-RYDERCUP.jpg" alt="The 2020 Ryder Cup" width="1920" height="1346" /> Golf - The 2020 Ryder Cup - Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. - September 22, 2021 Team Europe's Lee Westwood wearing a cheese hat as he walks to the 1st tee during a practice round REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst[/caption]

His 24 (21-20-6) record ties for the third-most for any Team Europe player behind <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-garcia/">Sergio Garcia</a> (28.5) and Nick Faldo (25). No other European player has been on more winning Ryder Cup squads than Westwood's seven (1997, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012, and 2014).
<h2>Move to LIV Golf</h2>
In 2022, Lee Westwood surprised many with his move to the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF)-backed LIV Golf. Per various sources, LIV signed the golfer for $20-$30 million. After joining LIV, he made an impressive appearance at LIV's Boston event by shooting a final-round 62. He is also the co-captain of the Majesticks GC, the all-European team out of the 12 LIV teams.
<h2>Net worth and endorsements</h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lee Westwood boasts a net worth of $40 million,  receiving a huge boost due to his move to LIV. The golfer has reportedly earned total career earnings of $23,795,343.

In a career spanning over two decades, Westwood has had many endorsements and sponsorships over the years. The former number-one-ranked golfer has been associated with companies like Netjets, Ping, Your Golf Travel, FootJoy, Titleist, and UPS, among others.
<h2>Charity work</h2>
Lee Westwood has always indulged in a variety of charity work. In 2009, he joined the Board of Trustees of the Tour Players Foundation (TPF), the charitable foundation of The European Tour.

A few years ago, Westwood donated thousands of pounds worth of his sportswear to a charity shop in Edinburgh. He also helped raise over £200,600 for National Golf Club Challenge. He has also been a participant in multiple charity exhibition events.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tigerâ€™s father, Earl, was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he's now known as.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids</b></h2>
Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods's heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.

[caption id="attachment_936305" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-936305" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1021662-1.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods with his father and mother" width="1920" height="1372" /> 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/ALLSPORT[/caption]

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961.

Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Dating History</b></h2>
In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-what-does-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-do-for-a-living/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elin Nordegren, a former model</a>. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-where-is-she-now-and-what-caused-the-downfall-of-their-relationship-update-tiger-woods-ex-wife-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went through a very public and scandalous divorce.</a>

Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin.

Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lindsey-vonn/">Lindsey Vonn</a>. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles.

Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Awards and Achievements</b></h2>
Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead.

Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career Tiger Woods&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements. Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, which came to an end after a 27-year partnership that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023. Golf &#8211; 150th Open Championship &#8211; St Andrews, Scotland, Britain &#8211; July 10, 2022 Tiger Woods of the U.S. during a practice round REUTERS/Paul Childs Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property. Woods also bought both his parents&#8217; houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl&#8217;s names. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies. From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy. By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years. In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he&#8217;s now known as. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods&#8217;s heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006. 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/ALLSPORT Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961. Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Dating History In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, Elin Nordegren, a former model. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they went through a very public and scandalous divorce.

Messerschmidt/Getty Images) Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin. Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â Lindsey Vonn. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles. Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Awards and Achievements Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead. Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.
