Golfer Tiger Woods has joined basketball superstars Michael Jordan and LeBron James in a group of athletes with a net worth of $1 billion, according to business magazine Forbes. He is one of two active athletes to achieve billionaire status along with four-times NBA champion and Los Angeles Lakers player James. Woods, 46, has achieved billionaire status despite not being involved in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series. Less than 10 per cent of Woods' career earnings and net worth come from golf winnings, Forbes said. “When combined with his real estate holding, Woods' wealth is secured, whether or not he ever swings a golf club again,” Forbes said.
