The Los Angeles Lakers Superstar LeBron James has made a fortune playing in the NBA. By dominating the league for more than 20 years, the 4-time champion has reached the highly desired billionaire status. A lot of his wealth comes from his contract as a player. In 2022, the Lakers re-signed King James on a 2-year $97.1 million contract. LeBron James made a whopping $44,474,988 during the 2022-23 season.

Meanwhile, 5-time Masters Champion Tiger Woods did not have a great financial year compared to LeBron James. Riddled with injuries most of the year, Woods was unable to participate in tournaments with the frequency he would have liked. This has affected the golfing legend’s 2023 PGA Tour earnings, making the difference between him and LeBron extremely large.

LeBron James’ and Tiger Woods’ shocking income difference

According to LeBron James’ 2022-23 season salary breakdown, the 4-time MVP earned $542,377 every time he stepped on the court in a Lakers uniform. That accumulated to him earning $188 per second. Tiger Woods, on the other hand, has not had such a profitable 2023. He has only been able to make $59,560 through the Genesis Invitational tournament during the PGA tour. Woods finished 45th in the tournament. This means that LeBron James made 9 times more money in one game than Tiger made in the entire PGA tour in 2023.

Earlier this year, the 5-time Masters Champion had to withdraw from the 87th Masters due to reaggravating his plantar fasciitis. Woods struggled early in the tournament, as he made back-to-back double bogeys or worse for the first time in his Masters career. Woods was later seen limping, noticeably dealing with an injury while playing. Apart from the Masters, the 47-year-old also missed the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool in July.

Tiger Woods has already made his fair share of money

Tiger Woods made his PGA debut in 1996 and has achieved everything there is in his illustrious 27-year career. He has a record 52 PGA Tour victories, making him the most decorated Golf player of all time. Woods has bagged over $1.7 billion over the course of his career. So, he is no stranger to the kind of money that LeBron James is making.

With injuries taking their toll on the 47-year-old, Woods is no longer in the prime of his career. But, with his influence and celebrity status, he managed to earn $75 million in 2023 from multiple sources despite his injury.

It is not certain when Woods will make his return to the Golf Course. With LeBron James and Tiger Woods defying father time, fans can never be sure how many good years the two legends have left. So, fans can only cherish the time they get to see the two GOATs in action.
