The 2024 Genesis Invitational is playing an unexpected quartet. Starting from Tiger Woods’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/] shank to his withdrawal due to illness, to Jordan Spieth’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/] disqualification for signing an incorrect scorecard, your worst nightmares have already turned into reality in Riviera. But like every action, will there be some consequences that these famous pros will have to undergo? Interestingly, the answer to this is yes. There will be a significant impact on their OWGR points following whatever went down yesterday. But what exactly will their karma be? COMPLICATIONS FOR TIGER WOODS AND JORDAN SPIETH! In continuation of Tiger Woods’s tough luck spell at the Genesis Invitational through the years, he will not receive any OWGR points this season, as well. Why, you may ask? After all, he did play the course on the first day and six holes on the second day. Since he withdrew from the game before reaching a position to qualify for the highly sought-after world ranking points, he will not be eligible to receive them. A similar saga will repeat in the case of Jordan Spieth, who was disqualified for mistakingly signing for a 3 instead of the 4 he made on a par 3’s fourth hole. Interestingly enough, a statement issued later revealed that Spieth admittedly took “full responsibility” for his failure to reach the weekend. Considering both [https://www.owgr.com/how-the-ranking-works] Spieth and Woods will be awarded no points for their Riviera run, it is safe to say that there will be no upward movement in their world rankings. However, the fans can’t help but speculate about the potential outcomes if things had turned out differently. Thankfully, we have an answer. TIGER WOODS’S OWGR RANKING IS IN DIRE STRAITS It was projected that a win could lead Tiger Woods to fall under 60 from his current [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-owgr-update-tiger-woods-to-top-scottie-scheffler-to-lose-too-much-at-stake-at-riviera-genesis-invitational/] position of 893. Yes, you read that right. A potential triumph at Riviera could give the 48-year-old star a boost “as high as #54.” Backtrack on a Firm Stance [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-i-would-never-do-that-tiger-woods-forced-to-forsake-his-own-words-amid-unexpected-illness-pga-tour-genesis-invitational/?utm_campaign=internal_links&utm_medium=dive_deeper&utm_source=website%2F] Destiny and Woods’s health, however, did not seem to be in support of this idea. The event with a field rating of 322.91 will no longer prove to be bountiful for Mr. Woods, Mr. Spieth, or any other player who gets disqualified or withdraws in the time to come.

After checking out of the 2024 Genesis Invitational, what will happen to Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth's world rankings?

<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Jordan Alexander Spieth is an American professional golfer. His first love was baseball, but at the age of 13, he made the decision to focus on golf. He started playing golf on the family's lawn and had to convince his parents to become members of a club where he could hone his skills.

Spieth was a star at the Amateur level and also reached the #1 ranking. He enrolled at the University of Texas in his hometown. He helped the Longhorns win the Midway through his sophomore year, turned professional, and never completed his studies.

Spieth's caddie is Michael Greller. Before he teamed up with Spieth to be his caddie, Grellar worked as a math teacher for nearly a decade. Grellar joined Team Spieth before the 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Family</strong></h2>
Jordan was born to Chris and Shawn Spieth. His mother is a computer engineer who played college basketball, while his father is the founder of MVPindex, a media analytics company.

Spieth has two siblings. His brother, Steven, is a professional basketball player who last played in Spain. His sister, Ellie, is a <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">special needs human, </span></span>and was the inspiration behind Spieth’s charity foundation.

He married his childhood sweetheart, Annie Verret, in 2018. The couple met in high school and have been together ever since. She currently works as the event coordinator for The First Tee of Greater Dallas, an organization that looks to inspire underprivileged children through golf. The couple had a baby boy together, whom they welcomed in 2021. They named their little one Sammy Spieth.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Records</strong></h2>
Spieth won the 2009 and 2011 US Junior Amateur tournaments, becoming only the second player after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/">Tiger Woods</a> to achieve this feat. In 2010, 16-year-old Spieth became the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.

[caption id="attachment_920885" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-920885 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-02-06T182719Z_621772647_MT1USATODAY17629445_RTRMADP_3_PGA-AT-T-PEBBLE-BEACH-PRO-AM-FINAL-ROUND.jpg" alt="Jordan Spieth" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 6, 2022; Pebble Beach, California, USA; Jordan Spieth plays his shot from the first tee during the final round of the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He became the youngest player to win the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 after winning at just 21 years old in 2015. In the same year, Spieth won his maiden Major at the Masters and also tied Tiger Woods’ 270 total from 1997. After the win, he became the second-youngest man in PGA Tour history to win a Green Jacket after Tiger Woods.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: 2023 Net Worth</strong></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Spieth is worth around $120 million. The American has earned around $55 million from prize winnings from tournaments, placing him in the top 20 highest-earning PGA golfers of all time.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Endorsements</strong></h2>
Ever since his debut in 2013, the golfer has been actively engaged in high-paying endorsements that have helped him rake in his bank balance. He is the face of Under Armour at the young age of 19. His meteoric rise prompted them to hand Spieth a 10-year deal in 2015. He also appeared in multiple commercials for them.

AT&amp;T is another brand that roped him in early. They brought Spieth on board in 2014, just a year after he won the Rookie of the Year. He is also associated with other top-tier brands like Rolex, Titleist, Coca-Cola, Superstroke, Wheaties, and NetJets.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Foundation and Charity</strong></h2>
Inspired by his sister Ellie, who is a specially-abled human being, Spieth established the <a href="http://www.jordanspiethgolf.com/article/about-the-jordan-spieth-family-foundation">Jordan Spieth Family Foundation</a> in 2014. The foundation supports four main causes: Special needs children, Military families, Junior golf, and Pediatric cancer.

The founding stone of the golfer’s charity has been very thoughtful and cause-oriented. He supports special needs children because his sister inspired him to do so, junior gold because it helped Spieth's transition into a professional golfer on the Tour, and pediatric cancer because Spieth lost a friend to the disease.

<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.

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. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as <em>â€œserious.â€</em>

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.

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. The Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity Work, and Philanthropy Tiger and his father, Earl, started the TGR Foundation back in 1996. It was first set out with the goal of helping children play the sport.
