Tiger Woods misses out on the top spot in Masters Ultimate Rich List and three LIV rebels round out Top 5.

TIGER WOODS shockingly misses out on top spot in the ultimate Masters rich list.

That is despite the golfing GOAT winning a staggering give Green Jackets in his illustrious career.




Tiger Woods was pipped by Phil Mickelson to the top of the all-time Masters prize money list


Instead, he is tipped to top spot by fellow American legend Phil Mickelson – with the pair way out in front at the top of the pile.

Woods collected his first Masters title aged just 21 in 1997 with a whopping 12-stroke winning margin.

He then added crowns in 2001, 2002 and 2005 before his memorable 2019 success at Augusta.

Woods has also never missed the cut as a professional in 23 appearances.

His love affair with the famous Augusta National also features a second, a tied-second and four further top-fives.

His 1997 win earned him £383,000 – but that figure shot up to £1.6million by 2019.

It means heading into the 2024 tournament, Woods has earned £7.6m.

Just in front on £7.7m, though, is Mickelson.

LIV rebel Lefty has three Augusta victories – in 2004, 2006 and 2010 – a further 13 top-tens, including a tie for second in 2023.

Jordan Spieth, champ in 2015, is third on the all-time list on £4.7m with Jon Rahm’s 2023 glory propelling him to fourth with an extra £2.6m.

Fellow former winner and LIV defector Dustin Johnson completes the top five on £3.6m followed by Englishman Justin Rose on £3.5m.

Rose is the first player on the list not to have a green jacket in his wardrobe, twice coming second including to Sergio Garcia in a 2017 play-off.

Rory McIlroy – still awaiting that elusive Masters crown to complete his Grand Slam – comes next on £3.3m.

The top ten is completed by three former winners – 2012 and 2014 champ Bubba Watson, 2021’s Hideki Matsuyama and 2013 star Adam Scott.

Lee Westwood (£2.9m), controversial Patrick Reed (£2.9m) and Angel Cabrera (£2.8m) all pip 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler (£2.7m) and Garcia.

Brooks Koepka (£2.5m) edges out 2011 winner Charl Schwartzel (£2.4m) with Fred Couples (£2.2m), Cameron Smith (£2.1m) and Vijay Singh (£2.1m) all in the top 20.

Scheffler is in despite making just four Masters appearances while Couples has teed it up 38 times, eight more than Mickelson and Singh.

Six-time winner Jack Nicklaus only pocketed £590,000 while fellow legends Gary Player and Arnold Palmer earned £189,000 and £110,000 respectively due to the lower prize money in the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s.

The first Masters winner – then the Augusta National Invitation Tournament – Horton Smith way back in 1934 took home just £1,183 for his two-stroke victory over Craig Wood.

But the champion this year, 90 years on, will receive a cheque for £2.55m.

By comparison, Scheffler made a whopping £3.55m from his The Players glory at TPC Sawgrass in March.
