“IT is a home fit for one of the sporting greats.
Tiger Woods is one of the world’s richest sports stars, thanks to an incredible career in golf. Forbes believes he is worth over £850 million (approximately NZD 1.6 billion), thanks to major sponsorship deals and success on the PGA Tour.
That has allowed Woods to enjoy a life of luxury.

Away from the golf course, he flaunts his astonishing wealth.
His most lavish buy must be his stunning Florida home on Jupiter Island.
Take a tour inside this exclusive mansion with SunSport.
Tiger’s lair As bachelor pads go, none will beat this.
He did have designs to live in the property with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, before their infamous divorce. However, Tiger had grander designs for the 12-acre land.
He completely tore down the 9,000-square-foot house and decided to build his own, according to the Agricultural Digest.

Woods then built two sections to his new digs, with one a 3,300-square-foot living quarters and the other a 6,400-square-foot multi-purpose building.
The latter includes a world-class gym, with the huge space also home to a media room, wine cellar, and a lift.
A glass-covered walkway links the two buildings together, while there is also a guesthouse, a garage, and a large mooring for his boats.
Dad-of-two Woods can also relax in his very own oxygen therapy room, or chill out in his basement games room or private cinema theatre.
Other amenities include a 100ft lap pool, diving pool, tennis court, a golf studio.
There’s even a guesthouse for family and friends to stay in.
Neighbours include Bill Gates, Celine Dion, and fellow golfer Greg Norman. The property is situated on Florida’s Jupiter Island – home to just under 900 people – making it one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the area.
Just around the corner from his luxury estate is his restaurant called ‘The Woods’.
Billed as a “legendary sports bar experience”, the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler have all dined there.
On living in Jupiter, Woods once said: “In Orlando, there’s a bunch of lakes, but it’s not the ocean.
“Jupiter is just a great area to live.”
Living with his ex Ex-girlfriend Erica Herman lived with Woods in the home for six years, until they split in 2023
But, when they broke up she launched a lawsuit claiming $30 million (£25 million) in damages for allegedly tricking her into leaving the home.
She claimed they had an oral agreement she could reside in the mansion for 11 years.
Woods’ lawyers disputed her argument and said she lived at the property as a ‘guest’. They also revealed the Masters winner arranged for Herman to stay in a luxury resort nearby, and gave her money to find a new place.
The lawsuit was later dropped by Herman.
Woods and Herman were first spotted as a couple at the 2017 Presidents Cup in New Jersey.
She was a general manager at a pop-up restaurant at the Genesis Open at The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, California.
He’s come a long way… Woods’ abode is a far stretch from where he grew up.
Found on the corner of a road in a nondescript middle-class neighborhood in Cypress, California is the bungalow where Tiger grew up with parents Earl and Kultida.
It was perfectly situated for the numerous golf courses Tiger would practice at with his father nearby.
The three-bedroom bungalow spanned 1,500 square feet and is considered a historical monument.
Before Earl died in 2006, he made a vow not to sell it. Instead, he wished to turn the property into a museum. “I have prepared this house so that it can be converted into a national historical monument one day,” Earl revealed to the Observer Sport Monthly in 2002.

Staying in California In 2004, Woods paid £2.2 million (approximately NZD 4.1 million) for a two-story 2,000 square foot condo overlooking the ocean.
It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a one-car garage.
The property was where Tiger reportedly spent time with mistress Jamie Jungers.
But in 2012, Woods decided to cut his losses and list the home for sale.
