After winning five national amateur championships, Felix made his professional debut in 1990 at the age of 17. He first fought Angel Romero and won via knockout during the second round. He would continue this streak with nine knockouts out of his first 10 fights. After a bout with Jake Rodriguez, Trinidad would win by unanimous decision but an injury suffered to his right hand side-lined him for several months. In 1992 he fought Raul Gonzales, putting his streak at 14-0 with 11 knockouts.
In 1993, Felix fought Maurice Blocker in San Diego for the IBF welterweight championship, winning in the second round, earning him a championship and a deal with Showtime to broadcast his next fights. In the next three years, he would successfully defend his belt against Hector Camacho and then against the 56-0 Yori Boy Campas, breaking his nose in the fourth round leading to victory. He would once again face an undefeated fighter, Oba Carr and would knock him down multiple times, earning a technical knockout victory. After these series of fights, Trinidad would successfully defend his title for another four years, defeating Mahenge Zulu and then Pernell Whitaker which marked his 13th successful defense. In 1999, he was scheduled to fight Oscar De la Hoya, supposedly a big fight although many believed it would be lackluster, however, Felix earned a controversial majority decision.
The following year, he vacated the welterweight championship and moved up to the junior middleweight division to fight WBA champion David Reid. Despite the bout being close during the early rounds, Trinidad assumed control and would eventually win. His following fight would be a unification battle against Fernando Vargas, and despite being knocked down during the early rounds, he rallied and would defeat the exhausted Vargas via technical knockout. He then moved up again to the middleweight division, to fight WBA champion William Joppy which he won in a convincing fashion. Afterwards, he was scheduled to fight Bernard Hopkins, but it was postponed due to the September 11 attacks. The fight was held at a later date, and reached twelve rounds before Trinidad’s father entered, the ring which signalled Felix’s first loss, via technical knockout. After winning against Hacine Cherefi, he would announce his retirement at a record of 41-1 with 34 knockouts.
He then returned to fight in 2004 against Ricardo Mayorga, and although Mayorga controlled the early rounds, Trinidad rallied to score several knockdowns, earning him a technical knockout victory. After fighting and losing against Winky Wright, Trinidad was noticeably off his game. After the bout, his father would retire and Felix also took a short break from fights before returning in 2008 to fight Roy Jones Jr. This time, Felix controlled the early rounds, but control would shift to Jones in the middle to later rounds, earning him a victory by unanimous decision. After being inactive for two years, Trinidad decided that he would retire, and would only make sparse appearances in boxing and wrestling related events.
For his personal life, it is known that he is married to Sharon Santiago and they have four daughters. Felix also has another daughter from a separate relationship.

Tiger Woods Net Worth
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.
So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.

Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.
Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.
Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.
Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.
