He won US$4.6 million at the 2018 Tour Championship alone – US$1.6 million for winning the tournament itself and US$3 million for the win ensuring a second-place finish in the season-long FedEx Cup – one of his biggest paydays ever in golf. But just how did he get there – and what does he spend his... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3182095/inside-new-billionaire-tiger-woods-luxury-life-besides?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3182095/inside-new-billionaire-tiger-woods-luxury-life-besides?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 17 Jun 2022 17:00:15 +0000 Two father-and-son duos went up against each other at this year’s US$1 million PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes in Florida, USA, on December 19 – John Daly and his son John Daly II, and Tigers Woods and his son Charlie. The Dalys won the tournament, finishing at 27 under par, two strokes ahead of the Woods who came in second, CNN reported. However, despite not winning the top prize, the prestigious competition served as a breakthrough event for the Woods.

While he knows he isn’t the same athlete he once was, it would be wrong to assume he has accepted his fate of not being able to match Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories or secure the historic 83rd PGA Tour triumph he so craves. This new-found inner peace could also mean Woods is happy at just being a father to his kids, Charlie and Sam, instead of throwing himself through the painful recovery to overcome his latest fight... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3159541/tiger-woods-peace-ahead-pnc-championship-dont-bet-against-him-roaring?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3159541/tiger-woods-peace-ahead-pnc-championship-dont-bet-against-him-roaring?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 14 Dec 2021 12:15:09 +0000 Collin Morikawa received the claret jug, thrust it into the air and gave it a kiss, a two-time major champion at the age of 24. The American closed with a bogey-free, 4-under 66 and won the British Open in his debut on Sunday, becoming the first player to capture two different majors on the first attempt. His victory 11 months ago in his first PGA Championship came in the first major with no spectators amid the coronavirus pandemic. So it was a very different scenario for Morikawa, a... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3141599/british-open-collin-morikawa-triumphs-debut-royal-st-georges?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3141599/british-open-collin-morikawa-triumphs-debut-royal-st-georges?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 18 Jul 2021 19:49:00 +0000 It’s no secret that UFC fighter Conor McGregor is rich. He is all about the flash and doesn’t hide his expensive cars, luxury holidays and costly watch collection. So, in a pandemic world and with only one fight to his name in 2021, how exactly did the Irishman land the No 1 spot on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes of the past 12 months? The answer lies mostly away from the Octagon – and with his critically unpopular whiskey brand.

The couple has announced that they are to divorce after 27 years of marriage, with court documents revealing the duo didn’t have a prenup in place, though there is some sort of separation contract. If you thought weddings are expensive, then don’t even think about divorce – there have been some staggeringly... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3133134/bill-gates-5-most-expensive-celebrity-divorce?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3133134/bill-gates-5-most-expensive-celebrity-divorce?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 12 May 2021 22:00:13 +0000 Tiger Woods was driving at nearly twice the posted speed limit of 45mph (72km/h) before he hit a sharp turn and crashed on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in February, the Los Angeles County Sheriff said on Wednesday in his long-awaited report on the accident that left the golf legend seriously injured.

As we watched the Arnold Palmer Invitational weekend leader boards that included some of the top young players in the world, including the hulked-up, bulked-up tournament winner Bryson DeChambeau, it should be increasingly clear that there will never be another Tiger Woods.

However, after his recent car accident, many are wondering if he will ever be able to play golf again. One former pro golfer who is now an orthopaedic surgeon is optimistic that Woods can compete again, although he does have a long recovery ahead of him. If anybody can overcome his injuries to return to the PGA Tour, it is Tiger Woods, as nobody is more competitive –here’s five examples to prove it.

Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed were among the golfers wearing the colours in the final round of the World Golf Championships – Workday Championship at The Concession in Bradenton, Florida.

His shattered right leg from his SUV flipping down a hill on a sweeping road through coastal Los Angeles suburbs only brings that closer. Golf wasn’t ready on Wednesday to contemplate the future of its biggest star after the 10th and most complicated surgery on the 45-year-old Woods. There was more relief that he was alive. “Listen, when Tiger wants to talk about golf, we’ll talk about golf,” commissioner Jay Monahan... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3123054/tiger-woods-reality-check-golf-world-car-crash-diagnosis-confirms-slim?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3123054/tiger-woods-reality-check-golf-world-car-crash-diagnosis-confirms-slim?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 25 Feb 2021 05:13:23 +0000 The rollover crash on a steep road in Rancho Palos Verdes that badly broke legendary golfer Tiger Woods’ leg and may have jeopardised his career was an accident, and no criminal charges will be filed against Woods, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday. “This is purely an accident,” Villanueva said at a news conference. The “black box” from Woods’ SUV will provide investigators with information on how fast he was driving when he lost control just after 7am on Tuesday,... https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3123015/tiger-woods-crash-purely-accident-no-charges?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3123015/tiger-woods-crash-purely-accident-no-charges?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 24 Feb 2021 21:58:00 +0000 News of legendary golfer Tiger Woods’ serious car crash and subsequent surgery to treat multiple leg injuries in Los Angeles has caused a flurry of thoughts and well-wishes from those in and around the sports world. The 45-year-old is said to be “awake, responsive and recovering” but it is simply too early to tell how long it will take for him to recover. Woods, a 15-time major champion, had recently undergone his fifth surgery on his back and was doubtful for the upcoming 2021 Masters scheduled... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3122952/tiger-woods-obama-trump-and-sports-world-pay-tribute-golf-legend-after?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3122952/tiger-woods-obama-trump-and-sports-world-pay-tribute-golf-legend-after?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 24 Feb 2021 10:11:51 +0000 Tiger Woods suffered serious injuries to both legs as his car flew off the road and flipped several times on Tuesday near Los Angeles in a crash he was “very fortunate” to survive, law enforcement officials who found the US golf legend said.

Woods’ injuries were not believed to be life threatening, ESPN reported, citing police sources.

For celebrities, it can often descend into a scandal the whole world can’t help but watch – especially when infidelity enters the mix.  Superstar cheats and their “other women” are more often than not left with an irrevocably damaged image when things head south. Labels like “love rat” and “homewrecker” can linger over their heads for years, if not a lifetime. But perhaps, cynics might say, it was all worth it in the name of love, fame or... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3122133/other-woman-power-woman-rachel-uchitel-camilla-parker?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3122133/other-woman-power-woman-rachel-uchitel-camilla-parker?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 18 Feb 2021 03:00:15 +0000 This wasn’t how Rachel Uchitel wanted it to go. After a decade, she’d decided at last to talk about her affair with Tiger Woods so the public might characterise her as something other than a mistress. Maybe they’d stop writing “homewrecker” in the comments of her Instagram photos. Or at least understand that she’s a human who’s made mistakes and “deserves a break”. But days before she broke her silence in the HBO docuseries Tiger, the UK media published photos of her kissing a married lawyer.... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3119389/how-tiger-woods-ex-rachel-uchitel-turned-down-donald?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3119389/how-tiger-woods-ex-rachel-uchitel-turned-down-donald?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 27 Jan 2021 02:42:35 +0000 This was a very imperfect 10 for Tiger Woods. The defending Masters champion recorded a septuple-bogey 10 on hole No 12 in the final round on Sunday, plunking three balls into Rae’s Creek in front of the green on Augusta National’s signature par 3. It was the highest score on any hole in his professional career. And the carnage at Amen Corner dropped him from 3-under to 4-over for the tournament, with only a late string of birdies saving him from his matching his worst Masters round ever. “This... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3109968/masters-10-augustas-dreaded-12th-hole-kills-tiger-woods-chances?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3109968/masters-10-augustas-dreaded-12th-hole-kills-tiger-woods-chances?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 16 Nov 2020 02:03:32 +0000 American Dustin Johnson won the 84th Masters on Sunday, smashing the all-time scoring record at 20 under par and claiming his first green jacket. The 36-year-old Johnson, a perennial contender at major tournaments, carded an astonishing 65, 70, 65, 68 through the tournament as he waltzed to a five-stroke win over Australian Cameron Smith and Sungjae Im of South Korea.

On Moving Day at the Masters, that’s not good. The defending and five-time champion shot an even-par 72 in the third round on Saturday to remain at 5-under par for the tournament. It was the culmination of a 26-hole day as Woods had to finish his second round before returning to the course.
