He's been blessed with a career spanning multiple decades, but he's also been at the center of quite a bit of controversy . From breaking records in his 20s to almost losing it all in his 30s, Woods' path has been something of a rollercoaster. But at the end of the day, the guy still has a hell of a lot of cash in the bank.
After missing the Masters-Golf's biggest and most exciting tournament-in both 2016 and 2017, Woods is getting ready to compete for the second consecutive year in 2019, after making a frustrating return last April. This time around, the four-time champion at Augusta National (though the most recent victory was all the way back in 2005) is feeling the hype once again, with Tiger citing his own confidence , and telling people that while he doesn't "need" to win The Masters, he "really wants to."
And if he can pull that off, well, he'll get more than just that green jacket.
