Golf Digest recently revealed a list of “top money winners by country” on the PGA Tour. Quite unsurprisingly, Woods was the name that headed USA. In his lifetime, the golf legend has earned $120 million on the Tour, having played in 372 events. The pro golfer not only headed America and the list, but he was also almost $50 million ahead of the list’s runner-up, Vijay Singh from Fiji.
The golf champion has, in his lifetime, won 82 Tour events. Moreover, he’s placed 199 times in the top 10 of all the events he’s played in. He’s made $120,954,766 ever since he turned pro in 1996. And of course, that is just his winnings on the course. Off the course, the PGA Tour star has made quite a bit of money too, possibly 10 times more, through his huge endorsement deals and partnerships.

Earlier this month, news of Herman and Woods’ split came to light when news broke of his former girlfriend suing him. The couple had been dating for over 6 years and allegedly broke up in the fall of last year. Following their messy separation, it seems like Herman has every intention of taking the golf legend to the cleaners. She is, after all, suing him for $30 million for breaching their oral agreement!
Herman claims that she had an oral agreement with the golf pro about living in his Jupiter Island mansion for the next five years. But as per a recent People article, the ex-girlfriend claims that she was locked out of his $54 million mansion after she was misled into going on a short vacation.
