“I think I can win one more.” Tiger Woods does not give up and with that mentality he will face the Augusta Masters, the first major of the season and for many, the favorite of the four major world golf tournaments that start this Thursday in Georgia.
But the reality is that Tiger is far from winning the 16th major of his career. At 48 years old it is very difficult to win a tournament at this level and in the modern era of this sport no one has done it. Added to that is that Woods has had long seasons that have been very complicated by physical problems, especially after a car accident in February 2021.
Since when hasn’t Tiger Woods played?

Why is Tiger one of the most millionaire athletes in the world?
Despite this lack of skills, finances are not suffering a decline and a few days ago Forbes detailed that Tiger Woods is one of the two athletes on the list of the world’s billionaires, with a fortune of 1.3 billion dollars. The other is LeBron James, with 1.2 billion dollars.

Tiger’s fortune, on the other hand, is based on large commercial contracts during his career (although in January he ended his 27-year relationship with Nike), where they still stand out. 2K Sports, Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, TaylorMade y Upper Deck.
Besides, He has two mansions on Jupiter Island located north of Palm Beach, Florida, and other important investments according to Forbes, such as a court design business, in the style of Jack Nicklaus; the Popstroke mini-golf chain and a business with Rory McIlroy to create a virtual golf league.
Perhaps that is why Tiger immediately rejected the multimillion-dollar offer that LIV Golf made to him to join the circuit that receives financing from Saudi Arabia and that generated a serious schism.
