Golf is a sport that adheres to many laws and etiquette. There are a few traditions in the sport which are followed to date. However, things have been changing, but still, there is slight rigidity in golf if we compare it to other sports. Bubba Watson, the winner of two Masters, gave his views regarding the etiquette of Tiger Woods and many other golfers. A couple of years back, Bubba gave an interview. There the interviewer asked him a few questions regarding a few traditions like the dress code that needs to be followed on a golf course. And his views on wearing shorts in professional golf. “Now we are allowed to play practice and pro-ams in shorts,” said [https://youtu.be/sEo01DqpUZU?t=226]Bubba. “So there are some guys who skip leg day, you know Tiger Woods included. But he is posted on social media, you see him with the fish and all the stuff, and you see his legs. But they have got some video out there of him wearing shorts to practice rounds. So he does it on himself.” Read More – ‘He’s the Man’: After Sharing a Hug, Long Time Coach Reveals His First Conversation With Tiger Woods Following His Return [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-hes-the-man-after-sharing-a-hug-long-time-coach-reveals-his-first-conversation-with-tiger-woods-following-his-return/] However, Bubba says there are a few golfers who you don’t want to see in shorts. Moreover, he revealed that he doesn’t wear shorts and has no plans in the future to wear them. BUBBA WATSON REVEALS WHY WEARING SHORTS IS NOT IDEAL Bubba Watson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bubba-watson/] initially clarified that he won’t be wearing shorts, and he hopes that the game is not moving towards it. He says, “It’s sad we are trying to call ourselves athletes, and we are hiring a guy to carry our bag. And now you are like hey it’s too hot for us we need shorts. So hopefully we are not going to that point,” concluded Watson.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bubba Watson 2023: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</span></h2>
Bubba Watson (Gerry Lester Watson Jr.) is an unparalleled professional left-handed American golfer. He has scripted a great number of golfing achievements in his career, including two major wins.

In 2022, Watson shocked the golf world by leaving behind the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Here is all you need to know about Watson's rise to fame, his professional achievements, and other accolades!
<h2>Early life and family</h2>
Bubba Watson was born on November 5, 1978, in Bagdad, Florida. However, he currently resides at Pensacola, Florida. He started to play at the age of six. At that tender age, his father gave him a cut-down 9-iron with which he played around the house, striking whiffle balls. His father was his first and the only teacher who taught him the basics. After that, Watson taught himself, thus developing a unique playing style.

He married his wife, Angie, in 2004. The couple adopted two children. They adopted Caleb, a son in 2012, and a daughter, Dakota, in 2014.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Watson started to play golf at a very young age and never stopped playing it. After initially dabbling in baseball for a while in his Milton high school, Watson left that sport for golf. He played in his school golf team, and when he went to college in Alabama, Faulkner State Community, he continued playing.

Even when Watson went to study at university (the University of Georgia), his passion for the sport did not subside. He left college a year before he graduated and turned pro in golf in 2002.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
After turning pro, Watson toured from 2001 to 2005 with the Developmental Nationwide Tour. In 2006, as a PGA rookie, Watson led in the driving distance. He averaged around 319.6 yards per drive.

Mandatory Credit: Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

His first-ever victory on the PGA Tour came in June of 2010 at the Travelers Championship. In the following years, Watson went on to win many championships. So far, he has won 12 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major victories. The golfer achieved his career-best second-place rank on the Official World Golf Rankings in February 2015.
<h2>Major wins</h2>
In 2012, he played against Louis Oosthuizen, a South African golfer, and pipped him to the green jacket. Winning in the Master's Tournament in 2012 was not the only achievement. Bubba Watson again flaunted his unique style and talent for golf in 2014. He wore the "Green Jacket" for the second time.

He came close to winning the PGA Championship in 2010, losing the title to Martin Kaymer at Whistling Straits. He then settled for a solo second-place finish.
<h2>US national team appearances</h2>
Bubba Watson has been part of the Ryder Cup squads for the USA four times to date (2010, 2012, 2014, and 2018). He has also been a part of the Presidents Cup squad in 2011 and 2015. Both times, Team US emerged as the winner of the competition.
<h2>Move to LIV Golf</h2>
In 2022, Bubba Watson was one of the biggest names to move to LIV Golf. Per the Telegraph, the 2-time major winner had signed a whopping $50 million contract with the Saudi-backed circuit! However, his knee surgery kept him away from the greens that year.

After joining the LIV league, Watson was also made captain of the RangeGoats GC. It is one of the twelve teams in the league and includes Talor Gooch, Thomas Pieters, and Harold Varner III.
<h2>Net worth and endorsements</h2>
Per GolfSpan, Bubba Watson boasts a net worth of $40 million. According to various sources, he has pocketed a total of $48,049,780 in career earnings, averaging $2,669,432 in prize money per year. However, his jaw-dropping contract with LIV Golf is bound to have significantly boosted his wealth.

The brand has customized Bubba Watson watches: RM 38-01 Tourbillon G-Sensor, RM 055, and RM 038 Tourbillon, designed especially for him. Apart from watches, Bubba Watson has been linked with Linksoul and has often worn the brand on the golf course. He has also partnered up with PING and Nike. He has often used PING equipment while playing. Moreover, the golfer has also been seen wearing Nike Jordans on the field.

<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>

[caption id="attachment_1499957" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1499957 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-98066054.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods" width="1920" height="1344" /> Tiger Woods and his girlfriend, Elin Nordegren, leave the stage after opening ceremonies at the 2004 Ryder Cup in Detroit, Michigan, September 16, 2004.

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.

The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-crazy-fitness-routine-that-made-him-a-golf-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tons of training, and rigorous hard work</a>,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods Documentary</b></h2>
All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport.

The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Car Accidents</b></h2>
Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion.

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.

(Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) 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. The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, tons of training, and rigorous hard work,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself. Tiger Woods Documentary All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport. The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Car Accidents Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as â€œserious.â€ Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him. In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour star found the resolve to compete in major championships in 2022. Woods&#8217;s health struggles continued as he withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. After nearly an eight-month-long hiatus, the 82-time PGA Tour winner made a comeback at the Hero World Challenge in December 2023.
