Tiger Woods Leads Golf Wealth Rankings as Billionaire in 2026

As of 2026, Tiger Woods is recognized as the richest golfer in the world, with a net worth estimated between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, making him the only publicly confirmed billionaire in the sport. Woods, a 15-time major champion, remains at the top of golf's wealth rankings despite facing challenges such as DUI arrests, a $100 million divorce, and career-threatening injuries.

Following Woods, Greg Norman has an estimated net worth of around $450 million, while Jack Nicklaus is valued at approximately $400 million. Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy follow with net worths of $350 million and between $330 million and $350 million, respectively.

Jon Rahm, who turned professional in 2016, has rapidly ascended financially, particularly after signing a reported $300 million deal with LIV Golf in 2023, earning over $85 million from LIV by March 2026.
