Tiger Woods and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the most successful and recognisable figures in the world of sport.
In 2019, Woods won his 15th major championship at The Masters which was arguably his greatest achievement. It documented how he was truly born to play golf.
In 2017, Ronaldo won his fifth Ballon D'or trophy as the best footballer in the world. He has made a sensational return to Manchester United this season in search of a fourth Premier League title.
Both of these sportsmen have experienced unprecedented success, but they have also earned an incredible amount of money along the way through trophies and endorsement deals.

In 2018, it was reported that the 45-year-old had earned more than £1 billion since his debut season in 1996 and the vast majority of this came down to his many lucrative endorsement deals.
