In other words, these are the homes that would likely be up for grabs were the couple to go splitsville.

Windermere Mansion
In July of 2000, Mr. Woods purchased a 6,692-square-foot mansion behind the gates of the Isleworth Golf and Country Club in Windermere, Florida, an upscale suburb of Orlando. This 8-bedroom and 9-bathroom house is where the Woods family currently resides and where Woods recently ran his Cadillac Escalade into a tree and a fire hydrant at the foot of his driveway, inflaming the blazing inferno of publicity over his alleged affair(s).
"Slumming" in Windermere
Way back in 1996, prior to buying his current residence, Woods spent $513,800 on a much more modest house in Windermere that, according to property records, has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in just under 3,000 square feet. Property records for this house also show the name of Woods' father, so it's quite possible this house was occupied by the elder Mister Woods, who passed away from cancer in 2006.
A Swing Through Hoity-Toity Hobe Sound
By all accounts, Tiger and Elin did not plan on raising their family in Windermere. Beginning in 2002, when the wildly rich golf great laid out a spine-tingling $22 million on a 4-acre waterfront estate, Woods began buying pricey properties on S. Beach Road in hoity-toity Hobe Sound, Florida. By late 2006, Woods had snatched up four more adjacent properties that total more than 10 acres, stretching from the Intracoastal Waterway all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and altogether cost, according to property records, a stroke-inducing $44.5 million. Woods then proceeded to knock down at least one of the houses – an 8 bedroom, 13 bathroom, 13,000+-square-foot, Bahama style mansion. He was making way for a sprawling, not yet completed, modern mansion reported to spread across 9,700 square feet in two structures connected by a glassed-in walkway.
Property records can sometimes be convoluted, complicated and plain ol' difficult to decipher, but from the looks of things, in addition to the two mansions in Windermere and the not yet completed estate in Hobe Sound on Jupiter Island, records indicate that in December of 2007 Woods picked up two properties on Rocking Horse Road in Jupiter, Florida for a total of $2.3 million. It's unknown what purpose or for whom these residences were purchased.
His Western Portfolio
Outside of Florida, according to property records, Woods owns a couple of condos in coastal southern California. One is located in Manhattan Beach and the other, which he snagged in 2004 for $3 million, is in nearby Newport Beach. Records also reveal that Tiger shelled out $2.75 million for a vacant lot in the 3 Creek Ranch fishing and golf community near the posh ski resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Tiger's Dubai and Elin's Swedish Escape
Outside of the United States, it has been widely rumored and reported that the golf guru is building a massive mansion in Dubai at the Tiger Woods Dubai golf resort development, which will claim the very first Tiger Woods-designed golf course in the world. Woods is also reported to be an investor in a planned luxury housing development in the Bahamas. Tiger and Elin also reportedly keep a luxury apartment near the Karlaplan plaza in the leafy and swanky Óstermalm neighborhood in Stockholm, and a report in this week's New York Daily News revealed that Elin recently added to the couple's property portfolio when she allegedly spent $2.29 million for a house on an island near Stockholm, although it is highly unlikely the purchase has anything to do with the couple's recent brouhaha.

Just another reason why its NEVER in a man's interest to marry. Let's see if I had a coochie what could I do?
1. Get half a man's retirement...Check
2. Get child support for 21 years.. Check
3. Get access to half his assets...Check
4. Get alimony...Check
All for just spreading my legs. Hmmmm, and let's not forget the only people who win in these situations are the lowliest forms of human life that are trained in the so called socratic method of reasoning....Check
Your comment seems to read you have no pity for Elin because SHE lie down with a low class mongrel? Don't you have it backwards??
ReplyWho is the "LOWER CLASS" mongrel? LOL
ReplyIt's this simple people: Tiger was either set up by Jesper and Elin's camp to snag a filthy rich, insecured, young Tiger because Elin was/is everything Tiger is not or Tiger craftily planned to marry Elin because she was everything he wasn't AND to block all his would be pursuers. Either way LOVE was missing from that union. Why wouldn't it end up this way in such a short time?
ReplyWe have truly become a nation of little worth. We can only bask in someone's else personal business or crisis. Get a life America! Its amazing how we are literally dragging Tiger through the media over his PERSONAL life, but kept Michael Phelps in the media for 15 minutes after seeing him on video smoking a blunt, which as I recall, is a crime!
ReplyRACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL STILL LIVING IN AMERICA!!!
tigers wife was one of them also.so why bitch
Reply"None of us is without sin." Well, that's true but c 'mon, last I heard the count was 13 and rising so at what point should this fool learn and stop? Gezzzz, he deserves no slack cut and he'll get what he gets out of this mess HE created. Wouldn't surprise me if at some point it'll be his mother's fault or he was bullied in school or growing up his dad didn't take him fishing, hence his skirt chasing. Or MAYBE it's all golf related and he was trying to make it to that 19th hole?! He's close. I wonder what his per hole par is? Better still, wonder what the cost per hole will turn out to be? Time will tell.
ReplyDerrel - you are a total idiot! Are your parents Native American? They are the only true Americans. Where on earth did your parents originate, or your grandparents? Do they admit to such a mistake as you??
ReplySpoken words often reveal more about the person who spoke them than they do the person they are speaking about. Listen and you will learn a lot!
ReplyWhat do you mean Tiger isn't a low class mongrol? Hell yes he is! He has slept with the most skany bitches of all and doesn't deserve his wife's forgiveness! What idiots to think other wise.. I only have to say that those that think Tiger has class must have been unfaithful to their wives too! Otherwise you too would think he was a worthless bastard!!!!!!
ReplyWhat the hell is with the racisim. The skanky Tiger has already comitted adultery with over 13 skanky women and has threatened his wife and children with VD and HIV. He has comittted more than a moral crime. He is BLACK. Quick the f'ng race card... Just becuase O'bama and Tiger are both blacks and losers doesn't mean we are racist. It just means that both men happen to be black are idiot low class losers!
ReplyAlso, quit blaming his wife for his stupidity! She isn't the one out whoring around! He is the one that is jepordizing her life from f'king all these skanks that could possibly have STD's and HIV/AIDS.
Jean Sanderson said it BEST! Thank You.
ReplyI don't think she pursued him as much as he pursued her. He likes women with her looks and frankly she is the best of the 14 or so we've seen. However, he is an untreated person with emotional problems. He either will embrace that or he should get divorced and not subject anyone to his idiosyncratic needs. She deserves a lot more than the prenup. Mistakes cost money and he made some big mistakes in the way he went about indulging his emotional needs. That is a big problem of fame--super fame. The narcissism is ridiculous and you can believe you actually deserve a free ride in your behavior.
ReplyTiger is in for a rough road. the thing going for him is that too many people need him back to work. They make money from him--so many different ways. So, this is all part of our society. I think it is hurting him a great deal to remain silent for so long but negotiating a divorce at this level of wealth is not easy and she has the upper hand since he is likely not going back to work until it is all signed, sealed and delivered. But, truthfully, he shouldn't be married if he cannot accept the compulsive nature of his actions. He isn't a guy who is likely to go to SLA meetings 5 times a week.
I think his wife will do much better without him. She will be very well off and will likely find many suitors. Ironically, she will have to be careful of some guy trying to get at her money and somewhat fame.
WHY DO EVERYBODY WANT ELIN AND TIGER GET DIVORCE THEY HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN THAT THEY NEED TO RAISE TOGETHER NOT APART.
ReplyTiger Woods has been dropped by Gatorade, Tag Heuer and AT&T. Next stop Nike? Online sports bloggers on www.dozensports.com are still supporting Tiger. Some say his new motto should be 'Just do me'. The only thing that can save him now is a tearful appearance on Oprah.
