Phil Mickelson<\/a>, who likely would have been the No. 2 seed, which means we could have gotten a playoff between the longtime rivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBut since we don't know how any of that would've played out, to keep it fair and accurate, we kept Tiger in second, which would have given him a $6.5 million payout in 2022. Given their overall history, I think it's fair to say Woods would have beaten Mickelson in that playoff and taken the $18 million top prize. Again, though, we wanted to keep things as accurate as possible, so we kept the 2000 result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So even without that extra $11.5 million he likely would have won, just take a look at what Tiger would have earned in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTournament<\/strong><\/th>Tour<\/strong><\/th>Finish<\/strong><\/th>2000 Earnings<\/strong><\/th>2022 Earnings<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>Mercedes Championships<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $522,000<\/td> $1,476,000<\/td><\/tr> AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $720,000<\/td> $1,566,000<\/td><\/tr> Buick Invitational<\/td> PGA<\/td> T2<\/td> $264,000<\/td> $747,600<\/td><\/tr> Nissan Open<\/td> PGA<\/td> T18<\/td> $37,731<\/td> $148,029<\/td><\/tr> WGC-Match Play<\/td> WGC<\/td> 2<\/td> $500,000<\/td> $1,320,000<\/td><\/tr> Bay Hill Invitational<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $540,000<\/td> $2,160,000<\/td><\/tr> The Players Championship<\/td> PGA<\/td> 2<\/td> $648,000<\/td> $2,180,000<\/td><\/tr> The Masters<\/td> MAJ<\/td> 5<\/td> $184,000<\/td> $600,000<\/td><\/tr> Byron Nelson Classic<\/td> PGA<\/td> T4<\/td> $176,000<\/td> $618,800<\/td><\/tr> Deutsche Bank SAP Open TPC of Europe<\/td> EUR<\/td> T3<\/td> $151,079<\/td> $413,333<\/td><\/tr> Memorial Tournament<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $558,000<\/td> $2,160,000<\/td><\/tr> U.S. Open<\/td> MAJ<\/td> 1<\/td> $800,000<\/td> $3,150,000<\/td><\/tr> Western Open<\/td> PGA<\/td> T23<\/td> $26,700<\/td> $133,500<\/td><\/tr> The Open Championship<\/td> MAJ<\/td> 1<\/td> $759,150<\/td> $2,500,000<\/td><\/tr> Buick Open<\/td> PGA<\/td> T11<\/td> $57,240<\/td> $180,180<\/td><\/tr> PGA Championship<\/td> MAJ<\/td> 1<\/td> $900,000<\/td> $2,700,000<\/td><\/tr> WGC-NEC Invitational<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $1,000,000<\/td> $2,100,000<\/td><\/tr> Canadian Open<\/td> PGA<\/td> 1<\/td> $594,000<\/td> $1,566,000<\/td><\/tr> NCR Golf Classic Disney<\/td> PGA<\/td> 3<\/td> $204,000<\/td> $503,700<\/td><\/tr> Tour Championship<\/td> PGA<\/td> 2<\/td> $540,000<\/td> $6,500,000<\/td><\/tr> WGC-American Express Championship<\/td> WGC<\/td> T5<\/td> $157,500<\/td> $386,000<\/td><\/tr> Johnnie Walker Classic<\/td> EUR<\/td> 1<\/td> $239,489<\/td> $1,265,750<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody> TOTAL<\/strong><\/td><\/td> <\/td> $9,578,889<\/strong><\/td>$34,374,892<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut wait, there's more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the PGA Tour Playoffs didn't exist in 2000, neither did the Comcast Business Tour Top 10, the $20 million pool divided between the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup standings at the end of the regular season. As Woods would have easily been in the top spot, we have to tack on an extra $4 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And let's not forget about the Player Impact Program<\/a> (PIP), which also didn't exist back then. As Tiger won the PIP in both 2021 and 2022, we're pretty sure he would've won it in 2000 as well. So there's another $15 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSo without taking a single endorsement into account — or that additional $11.5 million — Tiger Woods would have earned $53,374,892 from his 2000 season in 2022 dollars. Have I used the word ridiculous yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
