Tiger Woods is no stranger to making history. The man that transcends golf has broken a plethora of records throughout his career, accumulating a jukebox of stunning statistics along the way; ranging from career earnings, and tournament wins, to weeks glued to the top of the world rankings.
Without further ado, here is Tiger Woods In Numbers...
1,500,000,000
$1.5billion. The eye-popping total career earnings of Woods, as reported by Forbes. This includes prize money, appearance and golf design fees, along with endorsements. Next stop: $2b.
118,309,570
This figure, in dollars, represents Woods’ career earnings on the PGA Tour.
2,070,000

The number of weeks Woods has been ranked No.1 in the world throughout his career. He once spent 281 consecutive weeks at the summit. Incredible.

Woods now has 41 victories on the European Tour. Remarkable considering he’s never played a full season on the tour.
21
21 years, 3 months, and 14 days. His age when he won his first of five Masters back in 1997. He remains the youngest player to ever win a major.

Woods has 20 hole-in-ones to his name. However, he only has one in the last two decades, achieved back in November.

The chase is back on. The gap between record holder Jack Nicklaus (18) and Woods now stands at three majors after the latter bagged his 15th major, at the 29th time of asking, on Sunday.
The 15 triumphs are split into five Masters successes, four PGA Championships, and three apiece of the US Open and Open.

Woods is currently ranked 12th in the world, but is expected to rise up to 6th after winning the Masters. He’s not been No.1 since March 2004.

4
Back injuries since 2013.

Woods has won majors in three different decades: 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. You wouldn’t back against him adding the 2020s to his collection.
