Tiger Woods is one of the most popular golfers in the world. He is considered a modern-day great of the game, and his impressive resume only cements this claim. Having won 82 PGA events (the highest ever tied record) and 15 Golf Majors (the second most in history), he recently broke another record in terms of athletes' net worth.
Recently, an Instagram page called Boardroom revealed the net worths of well-known athletes from various sports. Michael Jordan was at the top of the list, with a net worth of $4.15 billion. However, interestingly, Woods was right after Jordan, with a net worth of $2.79 billion, surpassing many well-known names such as Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James.

Tiger Woods is currently working to redesign the Augusta National course

Tiger Woods has officially partnered with Augusta National to redesign certain aspects of the course. Right now, this agreement is based on two tasks that Woods must complete while working with his firm, TGR Design. Woods will create a nine-hole, par-3 course called The Loop at the Patch at the Augusta Municipal Golf Course, also known as "The Patch."
Aside from that, Woods' project includes extending the main 18-hole course by 900 yards and upgrading amenities like a new clubhouse and short-game area. Woods needs to do all these things while keeping the course affordable and accessible. Woods even made the announcement of this on X, stating:
"I’m proud to partner with Augusta National Golf Club to expand educational and golf opportunities in the Augusta community. Together, we will establish a TGR Learning Lab focused on STEAM education and renovate the historic Augusta Municipal Golf Course, “The Patch,” with a new 9-hole short course designed by TGR Design. It means a lot to be able to create opportunities that uplift and inspire the next generation."
Current updates, along with the timeline of this project, are not known right now. Speculations are that the work may be finished maybe under 2025.
