TIGER Woods is one of sports most famous names.
So it goes without saying that the golfer, said to be worth over £600 million, can afford a luxurious lifestyle in Florida, where he resides.

The 46-year-old, who made a miraculous return to the sport after a horror accident left him with serious injuries, has always favoured the ‘Sunshine State’ – first living in Windermere, then moving to the exclusive Jupiter Island.
There, Woods is a restaurant owner – running the well-respected sports bar Woods Jupiter.
He bought a plot of land, and built a home nearby for his mum Kultida to live in.
And he’s a member of the most exclusive golf club in America in Medalist Village – that features a 18-hole course designed by Greg Norman and costs £100,000-per-year to join.
PROPERTY
Before moving to Jupiter Island, Woods lived a two and half hour drive away in affluent Windermere.
He lived in a stunning £3.8million mansion (pictures supplied by Realtor.com) with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren until it was sold to Bubba Watson in 2013.
Famously, Tiger also crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree outside the home.

Just two days earlier it was alleged Woods was having an affair with New York nightclub hostess, Rachel Uchitel.
The house features seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms across 8,000 square-feet.
There are tons of amenities, including a game room and a cinema room with tiered seating.
It was located in the private gated community of Isleworth Golf and Country club, boasting incredible views of Lake Isleworth.
In 2010, after his divorce from Elin, Woods left Windermere for Jupiter Island and a £41million home built to specification.
Not only does it boast its own four-hole golf course, the home has a 100ft swimming pool, as well as an outdoor basketball area and tennis court.
It’s so big there are two sections to the property, with one a 3,300-square-foot living quarters and the other a 6,400-square-foot multi-purpose building.
And Tiger has plenty to entertain himself with, including his very own oxygen therapy room, a private cinema, a state-of-the-art gym and a games room.
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.”

WINE AND DINE
Around the corner from Tiger’s lavish estate is his high-end restaurant The Woods Jupiter that provides a “legendary sports bar experience.”
In the past, golfing pals Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas have all dined here.
On the menu you will find a full rack of ribs for £22, New Zealand rack of lamb for £30, hearty steaks from £21, as well as a variety of seafood options – with the pick being a pan-seared snapper costing £28.
The bar features a brilliant selection of bourbons, cognacs and ryes, and there’s a cigar list for the most sophisticated of diners.
Woods launched the restaurant in 2015, and it reportedly cost him £6million.

MEDALIST VILLAGE
Some four miles up the coast of Jupiter Island is Hobe Sound, where you will find Medalist Village – a community of more incredible homes, but more importantly Medalist Golf Club.
Tiger is a regular and enjoys practicing on the 18-hole course designed by Greg Norman and Pete Dye.
A full membership, that includes use of the spa, is said to cost around £100,000 per-year.
It’s so popular among the golfing elite, it was reported by Palm Beach Post that over 20 PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players were members at the club.
Back in May, Medalist hosted the teams of Woods and Peyton Manning and Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in The Match: Champions for Charity, a scramble match-play competition during the COVID-19 pandemic.
KEEPS HIS FAMILY CLOSE
Forever the doting son, Tiger built mother Kutilda a 15,000 square-foot property that neighbours Jupiter Island.
According to RadarOnline, it cost £8million and is a shrine to Tiger’s life in sport.

How To
How to Improve My Putting Skills?
As you practice your putting game, there are many things you can do to make yourself a better putter. Get good instruction from someone who understands what you’re doing. If you don’t know anyone who’s willing to give you lessons, then check out our article about how to find golf instructors. Once you’ve found someone you like, ask them if they offer private lessons. To avoid conflicts between lessons, you’ll need to review their schedule.
One of these pro shops can help you rent clubs: Golf Galaxy, TaylorMade and Titleist.
You can then start practicing, after you have received instruction. There are two ways you can go about this. One option is to purchase a set putters and use them to practice hitting balls into holes. You have the option to use different types (long irons or wedges), depending on what type of shot you prefer. You won’t get good at putting unless you invest a lot in equipment.
Playing mini games online is another way to practice. Some websites allow you to compete against other players worldwide, while others let you practice your skills. You can play Putt-Putt on many sites. In this game, you have to hit the ball into a hole. TopGolf and StrokePlay are just a few of the other sites.
Once you’ve practiced enough times, you can move to the next phase of improving you putting game. This would be improving your technique. To do this, you’ll want to work on three areas of your putting stroke: stance, grip, and alignment.
Stance is how far back you are when you face the ball. One common mistake made by beginners is to stand too close. As you face the ball, your body should be away from it until you start moving forward. Your feet should be shoulder width apart and slightly bent.
Your hands should remain open and relaxed. Your hands shouldn’t be closed. Instead, place your hands on top of your shoulders.
Your arms should be straight but not locked down. Throughout the entire putting stroke, your arms should remain straight.
Alignment describes how your hips turn as you swing through the shot. Many people rotate their hips so much that it is difficult to align properly. Your knees will bend slightly when you face the shot. Your hips will turn towards the target as you swing through the shot.
Grip is how your fingers are placed on the clubface. Many people have problems gripping the clubs correctly. Your index finger should be on the lower edge of your face when you are addressing the putt. Your middle finger should be on the top edge. Your ring finger should be placed on the side of the shaft, while your pinky finger should be positioned above the line of the handle .
A new putter may be an option. While it’s true that all putters aren’t created equal, if you’re having problems with your current putter, you might find that a new model helps improve your game.
