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.

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.
