Don’t miss a thing by getting the Daily Star’s biggest headlines straight to your inbox!

The net worth of Tiger Woods stands well above the riches of Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to his 14 successive years as the highest earning golfer on the planet.

The 45-year-old, who had four surgeries on his back before winning his 15th major and first for 11 years at the Masters in 2019, remains a high earner in 2021.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, has had 16 full seasons as one of the best footballers on the planet, as well as a series of lucrative sponsorship deals which surpass anyone else in the sport.

Daily Star Sport has now taken a look at the full career earnings of both Woods and Ronaldo, with both men being named in the top 10 highest earning sportsmen for 2020.

Cristiano Ronaldo net worth

Sitting third on Forbes' 2021 list of the world's highest-paid athletes, the 36-year-old earned a total of just over £88million in the proceeding year.

That was broken down into a £51million salary and £37million in endorsements that include a lifetime deal with Nike as well as Herbalife, Clear Haircare and Tag Heuer.

Forbes also had Ronaldo on their decade long-list between 2010–2019, putting him only second behind Floyd Mayweather Jr with total earnings of around £590m.

While there is no definitive net worth figure for Ronaldo, but estimates that include both sponsorship deals and career earnings as well as investments in car and property put him at around £363m.

Tiger Woods net worth

Despite the peak of his fame coming during the early 2000s, Woods remains a big player in the sporting world and appeared on the 2020 highest earners list.

That total of £45million would've been a welcome addition to his tally from 2010 to 2019, which Forbes rank at sixth on the all-time list with a mammoth £453million.

Back in 2018, Forbes reported that Woods had earned more than £1billion since turning professional back in 1996, and that 90% of his tally had been from endorsements.

They put him tied ninth on their list of America’s Wealthiest Celebrities, estimating his total net worth at the time to stand at £590million.

Comparison

Going by those estimates, Woods has a net worth of £227million more than Ronaldo, but that gap could well be closing due to the Portuguese forward's new bumper contract with Manchester United.

Woods, on the other hand, is recovering from the car crash he suffered back in February, but still ranks 20th on the official world rankings.

With both men making most of their money through endorsements, there is no reason why they can't go on to surpass the billionaire barrier that boxer Floyd Mayweather claimed he had surpassed earlier this year.
