Jeff Garcia was born as the third of seven children of Bob and Linda Garcia but his family suffered a few tragedies when four of the children died in early age, so Jeff only has two surviving sisters. He grew up in California and went to the Gilroy High School, where he excelled in both football and basketball, and after his graduation in 1988, Garcia enrolled at the local junior Gavilan College.
In 1990, Garcia transferred to the San Jose State University and played for the Spartans until 1993, and is still the player with the most offensive yards in San Jose history – 7,274. The scouts considered him too small for the NFL and he was undrafted, so in 1994, Jeff signed a contract with the Canadian football team Calgary Stampeders and led them to the Grey Cup (Super Bowl equivalent) win in 1998 over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The San Francisco 49ers noticed his skills, so in 1999 they signed Garcia as a backup to Steve Young, and Jeff got the opportunity to shine after Young’s concussion sidelined him for the year. Garcia’s first NFL start was against the Tennessee Titans in a 24-22 win and he ended his rookie season with 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In the next season, Steve Young retired and Garcia became the starter and made his first Pro Bowl appearance. He ended the year with 355 completions for 4,278 yards, 31 touchdowns, and ten interceptions, while he also had four rushing TDs and 414 yards.
In 2001, Jeff recorded a career-high 32 touchdown passes and led his team to the playoffs, however, the Green Bay Packers defeated San Francisco in the first round, 25-15. The following year, Garcia and the 49ers won the NFC West division, while during the 2002-03 playoffs, he led San Francisco to the second largest comeback victory in NFL playoff history, when they defeated the New York Giants, 39-38 despite trailing in the third quarter, 14-38. He had a disappointing season in 2003, so the San Francisco released him at the end of the campaign, along with running back Garrison Hearst and wide receiver Terrell Owens. Regardless, his net worth was now well set.
The Cleveland Browns bought Jeff Garcia in March 2004, but hewas released when the season ended because of his struggles; however, he recorded a 99-yards touchdown pass to Andre Davis in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His next stop was Detroit, but the Lions also decided not to offer him a new deal following the 2005-06 season, but he felt rejuvenated when joining the Philadelphia Eagles. Although signed to serve as Donovan McNabb’s backup, Garcia took the opportunity when McNabb suffered a season-ending injury and led his team to the playoffs with ten touchdowns and two interceptions, including five wins in a row.
Still, that wasn’t good enough for the Eagles who opted not to offer him a fresh contract, so in March 2007, Garcia signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and instantly changed their fortunes, leading them to the playoffs, but the Bucs lost to the eventual Super Bowl winners, the New York Giants. At the end of the 2008 season, Tampa Bay moved on from Garcia and he joined the Oakland Raiders, and then Philadelphia Eagles, but failed to make an impact. In December 2011, Jeff moved to the Houston Rockets to serve as a backup to T.J. Yates, but following that season, Garcia retired from professional football. During his stay in the NFL, Jeff Garcia recorded 25,537 passing yards for 161 touchdowns and 83 interceptions, with the quarterback rating of 87.5.
After his playing career ended, Garcia worked as an offensive consultant for the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL, while in 2015 he served as an offensive assistant for the St. Louis Rams.
Regarding his personal life, Jeff Garcia married the 2004 Playboy Playmate of the Year, Carmella DeCesare, in April 2007 and has two daughters and two sons with her. They live in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

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.
Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million
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.
