There have been all sorts of images going around the internet for a long time purporting to be the home of Tiger Woods. I’m not the first one to say this, but any images you see of a home owned by Tiger Woods in Hawaii are false. It’s a wonderful looking property, for sure, but it’s not his.
Tiger Woods may be one of the most accessible golfers in the world, but he’s also the most private. Rumor has it that he owns property in The Hamptons (see images), Florida, California, Wyoming, and Sweden, where his wife is from. Apparently, his main home is in Florida, on Jupiter Island, with a population around 650 people, and has the highest per capita income per household anywhere in the United States. We know (or think we know) that he paid $38 million for this property, and then promptly set aside tearing down the house that was there so he could build his own idea of what he wanted his house to look like.
There have been rumors of some of the features of the house. Supposedly it’s a 3-bedroom house with a wine cellar, media and game room. It also has a boat house, pool, gym, a small golf course, and a place to dock his $10 million yacht.

How true is it? No one really knows except Tiger, his wife, and the people building it. He’s had trees put up to block visual access from the ground, since fences aren’t allowed on the island, and has asked Google to remove his house from their aerial listings. And, it seems, no one has either tried to rent a helicopter to go take a look, or it’s banned to do so, probably because everyone has money.
Therefore, if we can’t see what it looks like, we can dream about the kind of house Tiger would have, and what kind of amenities he would add for himself.
Let’s start with the house itself. Since he now has children, I can’t imagine he would only have a 3 bedroom house. I envision a two-story, split level 7-bedroom mansion, with three of the bedrooms, including the master suite, not only being very large, but having their own full service bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and showers in them. The other bedrooms will share bathrooms, but they’ll still be luxurious.
The house would have a large entry way that leads into a grand room, which has large double doors that can be opened up to let nature visit for awhile. Because his wife is Swedish, and most men allow their wives to do a lot of the decorating when it comes to living rooms, it might contain a lot of modern Ikea furniture, probably modular so it could be moved around easily. And, since I can’t imagine a house in Florida needing a real fireplace, there would probably be a gas fireplace installed for ambience in the evening, underneath a large flat screen TV, at least 60 inches. Music would play throughout the house without visible speakers either; too many wires for the kids to get into.
The kitchen would have to be spectacular, with three islands, a cooking surface in the middle, and a detachable spray that could reach the stove if needed. The kitchen would lead off to the servant’s quarters, laundry area, and garage; yeah, like there wouldn’t be servants! The house would also have a super media room with a pool table and ping pong table, a workout room, a large playroom, an exquisite dining room, and two offices/dens, his and hers. He might actually have a trophy room to store his awards if he doesn’t want them cluttering up his office, since he’s won so many.
The entire house would be surrounded by glass; after all, if you live on an island, and you’re secluded, who are you worried about looking in, especially since there’s probably some kind of security being paid to watch over them. From the second story, the household would be able to see the water on both sides of the island, which means great sunrises and sunsets.
Since we know he purchased property that has a beach, the front of the house would face the beach. I also see him moving the house closer to the beach, which puts it closer to the docks and the yacht, but there would be another good reason for doing it.
The property already had a mini golf course sitting there, but Tiger drives long, and it wouldn’t be long enough for him to practice smacking the heck out of the ball. By moving the house, and of course by tearing down some of the other properties, he could build a larger mini-course that would accommodate at least 450 feet worth of golf drives and set up, and could actually build 3 holes that could offer different challenges. And, of course, he’s have a putting range near the house so he wouldn’t have to go far to practice. He’d probably have a hump or two thrown for good measure.
The property is still large enough to add a pool and a tennis court, and he’d probably add a basketball court so his friend Michael Jordan would have something to do after they hit the ball a few times. He’s also have a big area where there would be room to build jungle jims for the kids, as well as a big area for them to just run around, kicking a ball or tossing one up in the air and swatting it. Maybe surround it with a track of some kind to get an outdoor cardio working.
And finally, he’s have to have a boat house for his yacht, and that means a dock, where he and the kids can go fishing if they so choose. It’s also nice having the choice of swimming in the ocean or the pool.
Yes, that’s how I see Tiger Woods house; 35,000 square feet of opulence and luxury. What do you see?
For the past year Tiger Woods and family have been calling their $65 million estate on Gin Lane in the Hamptons home. Tiger’s new home is a 13,200 square foot house, with a 7,500 square foot guesthouse, which features a four-car garage, an oversized seaside pool with spa, a lily pond, tennis court and lush grounds with professionally maintained gardens. The house sits on six acres and provides six bedrooms,

Tiger’s Hampton neighbors include real estate developer Alfred Taubman, wedding dress designer Vera Wang, and former New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger.
So… Where does Tiger Woods Live?
It is safe to assume that depending on the time of year, and the PGA schedule, Tiger could be living in New York, Florida, Dubai, or well, anywhere in the world on his yacht.

I saw Tiger at on TV at the Orlando game the other night. Great post!
Nice!
I sold a house on the green of the 18th hole of a local golf course – Jones Creek – which I touted as “Future home of the next Tiger….” Home sits adjacent to the club house and across the street from the green. Needless to say, didn’t last long – but it was a far cry from these properties!

Don’t know that I could live on a yacht, but this property is sweet! We’ll need to sell a few more shoes to afford anything like this
Shoes blogs last blog post..How much do you spend on shoes?
Wow! I always thought he lived in Windermere, Florida. Anyway, it’s good to be king!
Beautiful house, and still a beautiful golf swing. It is good to be talented and smart and motivated and … given a name like Tiger and not get beaten up for it:)
I hope his comeback after injury is a great success.
Wow, I should have been in this business,of course there is talent involved. It's still interesting to see how these people live
I will give everything to have such house. It is on the sea, with very nice style, which I like most of all.
Would you expect anything less from Tiger!
People with money (new rich) they often build them self big palaces in different places around the world. We see many of them here over in Marbella, especially in an exclusive and luxury area La Zagaleta. So I understand Tiger Wood, he do it to.
wow, that's sooo big and the landscape is sooo beautiful. And if I'm in the shoes of Tiger woods, I will do the same. Wouldn't be nice spending investing your money to something worth it? specially a house like these.
That's quite the piece of property.

He is the greatest golfer in the world.
cheers
Gorgeous!! Tiger has a predilection over architecture it seems. He sounds to be a connoisseur.
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that.
Wow! Very nice house. Well, it only shows that when we improve ourselves in our craft, we would be able to reach what we want. It is just a matter of hard work and dedication. And I am sure even Tiger Woods would agree on that!
Nice flicks!I am a die hard fan of Tiger’s play but now i am marveling at his house and cant stop from envying at him. Really posh!
Tiger Will be in the Buick Open this week. I live about 2 miles from where he will be playing.
Where ever Tiger lives, I’m sure it is a palace to most of us! And I don’t blame him for wanting his privacy, and keeping people guessing about where he lives.
I am building a custom home atm and these pictures are very inspiring, even if its not Tiger’s home.

Wow he has a great house very pleasant. He also a great golfer that many idolized.
All these time I was wondering about his homes by looking at those fake pics. I thought he will be living around a grand and elegant luxury golf home
Im always amazed with the houses the mega-rich live in. Tiger’s is actually more modest than what I would have expected…in saying that, its still a BEAUTIFUL house!

Great shot, but please people, its only golf. TW is I’m sure a great guy, and I’ll bet he doesn’t think he’s the next Messiah, so stop trying to make him so. God will have a field day with these blokes sitting around on Sundays watching this crap. “For ye not know when the day is coming…”
This guy is famous, not just because of golf, but also gossip!

Is there a seperate room for the 10 different harlots to enter when his wife Snow White is out of the castle?
We had to get to upgrade our hosting because Tiger has been search so much these last couple weeks! It will be interesting to see where this story will end.
Those aren’t pictures of Tiger’s Jupiter Island, Florida home, which is still under construction and ugly. There have been plenty of aerial photos of it in newspapers. There are no restrictions on helicopters flying by, as we see them over the island all the time. The home is in two sections, connected by a glassed in walkway. It looks like a commercial building. It’s not even on the water, though the ocean is across the street, and the Intercoastal waterway is on the other side.
The Palm Beach Post, talking with contractors, have learned that the house won’t be habitable for at least a year.
Yes Tiger and I were together! It is true!
You have opened my eyes. All of those pictures that you mention above I through were the real Tiger Woods House and I have seen them on many blogs. Thanks for pointing out the falseness of them!!!

Tiger is a private guy. It would be nice to see how someone lives at that income level.
Ha! One can dream.
I’m in the UK and my whole flat/apartment would fit in one of his rooms.
Tiger Woods is great golf player, there are few problems in the marriage but everything will be fine. He is the idol of my son.
Wow – that is some house. Is he still living there now that he had the big problem with his wife? From the photo it looks like the house backs onto a golf course or a farm or something like that…
