Presumably that little isthmus/peninsula is in the part of Florida that doesn't get hurricanes.

/Huge Woods fan and, of course, insanely jealous.

Errk: I don't care where it is or how rich you are, but $54 million an you're crammed in next to a bunch of other houses? Give me a few thousand acres with a nice estate smack in the middle of it any day of the week.

I'm guessing his place in Wyoming probably fills that need...of course, for $54 million, his place might BE most of Wyoming.

Won't join the local club? First impression: because he's black. Second Thought: Because he'd whip their asses... I think I'll RTFA now.

He can't join, yet he can play as a guest. Won't that still attract the celebrity attention they despise?

Why would anyone pay $54 million to live near Celine Dion?

If I was Hurricane Igor, I'd be aiming straight at this multi-million waterfront homes.

54 million... I'd be happy with a $250,000.00 home.

I wonder what Oprah's take on this is.

I call bullshiat. They will be begging for him to join and win their annual local golf tounament in no time at all.

You know ever guy there just wants to say, "yea, I saw Tiger at the club today in the locker room. He sure has a huge..."

One of his new neighbours, who did not want to be named, thought the chances that Woods would be asked to join were remote. "No way. They don't want anybody famous," he said.

And by that, he meant "We don't want any black people."

/race card

His nieghbors seem to prove you don't need to be the highest paid athlete in the world to be a pompous, elitest snob.

I used to be a big TW fan, but the bottom line.. he's a humourless dink. He takes umbridge with every little collegial joke, comes across like a stiff and doesn't seem to want to go out there and have fun.

Ah well.. suppose the game breeds that.

\So you can hit golfballs at her windows. Duh.
\\I'd pay alot for just one chance to bean her.

honestly, i doubt his race has anything to do with it. have you seen him? he may be the whitest black dude ever. and hes a blazian , not full black anyway.

That Tahger Woods is such a nice boy. But ah wouldn't want my daughter marryin' 'im. He's of the - wraong persuasion, you know. He's not - orthodox!

/ Used to own that house in Jupiter.
// Not.

Errk: I don't care where it is or how rich you are, but $54 million an you're crammed in next to a bunch of other houses? Give me a few thousand acres with a nice estate smack in the middle of it any day of the week.

4 hectares is approx 10 acres ...I believe that photo is showing his entire property ...not just one house crammed next to others

What's this new "No caublinasians allowed" sign on the first tee about?

i'm sure jack nicklaus would get de same treatment.

Couldn't he have bought the entire state of Montana for $54 million and not had to have dealt with snobbish neighbors living 10 feet from his property?

Awesome idea for a Nike commercial -

Tiger outside his home hitting practice balls (eack shot followed by a mysterious "smash" sound). Celine Dion walks outside and they exchange pleasantries, she leaves.
Next we see Tiger loading Celine CD's into a clay pigeon launcher. JUST DO IT. Pull!

Shrugging Atlas

ya he probably could have but who wants montana? Florida is a more ideal location for a man worth millions of dollars because there are plenty of ppl around that can cater to his needs. If he lived in Montana he wouldn't have as many options.

I really hate prejudice against Thai people.... only possible in the Land of Frowns.

The real kicker is that he's probably going to tear most of the house down and rebuild it, the 54 mil was just for the property.

Shrugging Atlas: Couldn't he have bought the entire state of Montana for $54 million and not had to have dealt with snobbish neighbors living 10 feet from his property?

I'd go with Alaska. Not the entire state, but with $54 million, you could probably buy a chunk the size of some middle-sized European countries.

Further proof that most oceanfront developments need a dose of naval gunfire.

He's buying right at the peak of the real estate bubble. I hope he didn't use a no-money-down interest-only negative ammortization adjustable rate mortgage to afford it.

rye787: I really hate prejudice against Thai people.... only possible in the Land of Frowns.

He isn't Thai, FYI.

His mum is, though.

What was the term he called himself on Oprah years ago?

Negrasian american, or some uniquely strange made-up phrase.


/I don't think he cares about the club
//would you if you had his hotty wife?

Does anyone have a pic of his wife? Is she teh hotness?

thamanunderyourbed: Does anyone have a pic of his wife? Is she teh hotness?

Hotness?!

Even if I was Richard Simmons, I'd shag her brains out!

That's how hot.

Woods's neighbours will include singer Celine Dion and fellow golfers Nick Price and Greg Norman.

I wonder if they got invites.



/kill whitey!

Somebody insert the kid saying "That's racist" here-->

And believe or not, she has a twin:



/wouldn't mind getting a few holes in before lunch.

I assume houses of that magnitude are purchased for tax reasons. Got to put that money somewhere, and Florida has all kinds of strange tax/property loopholes for wealthy peeps.

Begin the kitten killing in 5...4...3...

Initiating Kitten Killing sequence....

tiger looks like an uptight asshole from every public appearence ive seen him on. he deserves to live next to celine dion.

Sorry that whole area is completely overpriced and overvalued. What a dumb decision to buy that property.

Florida is depressing, why anyone would spend real money to live there is a mystery to me. Everywhere I went in that state was either Donald Trump tacky or tourist tacky. The most tactful person in the state is the dead guy in the wetlands off 41

GungFu - now that's a shiny wife.

Boo hoo...a multi millionaire can't play golf. Man this countries priorities are out of whack.

Somehow, I have the feeling that if he wanted to, he has the funds to build his own darn golf course and make it look twice as nice as what he is not getting into.

He probably doesn't give a flying fark anyway. God knows with that sort of cash, I wouldn't. I'd be all like, "Hey, you know what, I think I'll stay home and bang this Barbie doll wife of mine; what do you think of that Thurston Howell III?"
