How much money did Tiger Woods make this decade?

December 24, 2019

New Year’s Eve 2019 won’t just mark the end of the year. It marks the end of the decade, and it’s been a pretty good one for golf. Even though Tiger Woods spent large chunks of it injured, it wasn’t a processional by any means. We saw the rise of young guns like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka. Phil Mickelson was ever-present throughout, and of course, we got that 15th major win from Tiger along the way.

And to commemorate the close of the decade, Forbes formulated their top 10 highest-paid athletes of the decade list.

It’s pretty interesting stuff, and there’s two golfers on the list. You might be able to guess who: Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, who come in fifth and sixth with combined winnings of more than 1 billion dollars.


Not too bad at all. Here’s a quick rundown of the rest of the top 10…

Floyd Mayweather: $915m
Cristiano Ronaldo: $800m
Leo Messi: $750m
LeBron James: $680m
Roger Federer: $640m
Tiger Woods: $615m
Phil Mickelson: $480m
Manny Pacquiao: $435m
Kevin Durant: $425m
Lewis Hamilton: $400m
