Woods Blows $54 Million On A House

Word on the street is that Tiger Woods has taken out a $54 million mortgage to be repaid in 2016. That’s only 6 years from now. Wow, right about now a 40 year mortgage sounds great to me. I could use the break on monthly payments. Anyhoo, this post is about Tiger, not me.

Woods is building an incredibly big and palatial mansion on Jupiter Island, which is super exclusive. The documents for the loan were signed just a few days after Tiger and Elin finally parted ways, at least legally.

The land where the huge home is being built takes up multiple parcels of land. Amongst the home’s amenities are the standard swimming pool, actually there will be more than one, an oxygen therapy room, fitness center and tennis court.

Wow, that’s pretty impressive! I hope he’s planning for a lot of company. What could one man possibly do with all of that house? Maybe he should consider downsizing and donating the money he will soon be throwing away to charity. Just a thought….

Tiger Woods's golf coach resigns

Tiger Woods's golf coach Hank Haney resigned on Monday.

He reportedly informed Woods that he was quitting via a text message.

"I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger's coach," read a statement Haley sent to The Golf Channel.

Speaking to KTCK-AM sports radio in Dallas, Haney said: "I texted him last night [that I was leaving], and he texted me back."

He continued: "We went back and forth for a while, but he had his kids last night and couldn't talk. We are going to talk later today."

Haney did not reveal the reason for his departure, and insisted that he was not fired.

Speaking about Woods's recent sex scandal, he added: "As we all know, Tiger has been through a lot in the past six months, and I really believe that given the chance, mind-free and injury-free, we will all see Tiger Woods play once again like we all know he can."

Tiger Woods speaks to divorce lawyer?

Tiger Woods has reportedly hired a divorce lawyer.

According to The Sun, the golfer believes his marriage to Elin Nordegren is over after he admitted having a number of affairs.

He has allegedly spoken to attorney Jeff Fisher, who handled golfer Greg Norman's divorce from his wife Laura.

Nordegren, who is also thought to want a divorce, is reportedly hoping to move back to Sweden permanently. However, Woods is said to be concerned that he will not see his two children if she does.

"She's returning from Sweden within two weeks and that's when events with Tiger will come to a showdown," a source explained.

Meanwhile, another insider has claimed that a divorce is "100% happening", adding: "Elin and her mum met with a lawyer before they went to Sweden. It's going to take a long time to go through. But she will go through with it. She will do it slowly and carefully."

Tiger Woods Pens Message To His Fans

Though he's troubled in his personal life with headlines this week unanimously indicating that a divorce may be rapidly approaching, Tiger Woods continues to push forth with his immersion back into the PGA Tour.

With his wife, Elin Nordegren, and two children, Sam and Charlie, currently overseas in Sweden, the scandal-plagued golf star took to his blog to update fans on his life's happenings.

Having signed up for three more events in late April/May, Woods tells of his Masters experience: "I honestly didn't know what to expect from the fans, but they were absolutely incredible from Monday through Sunday."

Of his interactions with the crowd, Tiger wrote, "I tried and wanted to interact with as many fans as I could. One little girl gave me a letter on the third tee, which was awfully sweet. I knew a few people in the gallery, including my mom, which was nice."

For those interested, Woods' full correspondence reads as follows:

"I have to say it felt great to return to competition at the Masters Tournament. To actually contend in a major on the back nine Sunday and tie for fourth with very little preparation, with all that has transpired in my life, was pretty cool.

I honestly didn't know what to expect from the fans, but they were absolutely incredible from Monday through Sunday. It was unreal. They definitely helped me mentally to be more comfortable out there. I was hoping for the best. To get that type of warmth is something I did not expect and will never forget.

It also felt great to be in the hunt again, but unfortunately, I didn't have my game. I knew I needed to make a run, but I just didn't have one in me. I had a terrible warm-up session Sunday, and it carried over to the first tee.

As far as competing, it was just like riding a bike again. Once the tournament came, everything felt normal, and I fell into my old rhythm and routine. I didn't even think about it; it just happened. My body knew what to do.

I tried and wanted to interact with as many fans as I could. One little girl gave me a letter on the third tee, which was awfully sweet. I knew a few people in the gallery, including my mom, which was nice.

It was also great to see all the guys. They had been asked a lot of questions in my absence and handled the distractions very well. I appreciate their support, but it felt good to try and beat them again.

I received some criticism for bad language, which I apologized for immediately after Saturday's round. It's tough when you're in a competitive environment and in the flow of a tournament. I'm not perfect. All I can say is I'm trying to do everything I can without losing my fire and competitive spirit.

Although it was my first tournament using all V-grooves, it was a seamless transition. I played V-grooves in all my irons except my sand wedges at The Presidents Cup and for the remainder of the year, so it was a pretty easy change. I didn't have much trouble adjusting to the sand wedges because I have the softest ball on the PGA Tour.

Before I stop talking about the Masters, I want to congratulate Phil Mickelson on the win and for all it means to him, Amy and the entire Mickelson family. They have really gone through a lot this year, and I wish them good health from now on.

I hear Lorena Ochoa is retiring from professional golf. Although we never played together, I met her several times, and she is a wonderful person and a great champion. The game of golf is definitely going to miss her. I hope she decides to stay involved in one form or another.

I also heard that the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach this year will be televised in prime time on the weekend. I think the last time NBC did it was at Torrey Pines in 2008, and the ratings were pretty good. The only time we can be on prime time is when the tournament is held on the West Coast, so we might as well take advantage of it. I think it's great for golf.

Earlier this week, I committed to THE PLAYERS Championship and the AT&T National. Obviously, that's earlier than usual. The PGA Tour asked me to commit earlier if I could to help the tournaments with their planning and security. I completely understand and know they're trying to help out me and the other players. Whenever possible, I will continue to do this going forward.

Next week, I return to competition at the Quail Hollow Championship in North Carolina. Quail Hollow Club is one of my favorite courses on tour. It's traditional, right in front of you, difficult, and you have to shape shots both ways. I managed to win there in 2007 and look forward to going back.

I took a little time off after the Masters to go scuba diving and spend time with my family. But I did enjoy a fun round of golf with my friend John Cook at Isleworth Country Club. I double-eagled the par-5 17th hole -- the third of my life -- with a 5-wood and shot 63, so my game is improving.

Tiger Woods' mistress in torrid threesome

In the latest claim of infidelity against Tiger Woods, a third X-rated film star has claimed that the golfer paid her and another woman 2000 dollars each for a threesome.

Devon James, a Florida-based “adult entertainer”, claimed in a radio interview on March 23 that she met Woods, 34, just prior to their first three-way encounter, which went on for over two and half years.

“Hi, I’m Tiger. Nice to meet you,” the New York Daily News quoted her as quoting Woods saying before they quickly got down to business.

James said when she met Tiger, there were porno movies playing on the television set and the other woman - also an adult entertainer - was already in the room.

“There was very little talk the first time,” James said of the 2006 encounter.

Woods immediately asked for her personal phone number when the sex session was over, and the affair continued into 2008, she claimed.

James said she had phone records verifying her claim of a relationship with Tiger, and said that Woods, who will return to the links next month, sent her nasty text messages.

“I want you to be my whore”, was one that summed up Woods’ sentiments, she said.

James revealed that Woods, who is trying to repair his marriage to Elin Nordegren, complained during their second meeting that his wife didn’t like to have sex.

The porn star, who portrays a sexy mom in her films, said she initially said nothing about her liaisons with Woods because she felt bad for him.

Tiger Woods pays wife $150m as 'forgive me' gift

LONDON: Tiger Woods is desperately trying to redeem himself and has given wife Elin $150-million as a "forgive me" gift, it has emerged.

In fact, he even plans to give her an extra $150-million if they are still married in two years in a deal reportedly negotiated by Elin's sister Josefin Lonnborg, a high-powered corporate attorney.

A source close to the couple told the Sunday Express, "Tiger accepts that even this amazing gesture is no guarantee that Elin won't go ahead and divorce him but he is desperate to redeem himself and figures this is one way to go about that.

"The other is keeping the promise he has made over and over to his wife never to stray again."

Moreover, Woods, 34, has also pledged to continue sex addiction therapy.

While referring to the revelations of Woods' fondness for sending sexual text messages to a porn star mistress, a second source insisted, "I don't think the latest kiss-and-tell caused even a slight ripple in their household. Tiger is keeping as quiet as he can and Elin is way beyond the stage of caring what any of them have to say any more. What did surprise her though was her husband's extraordinary cash gift.

"Don't misinterpret this. Elin isn't going to be swayed one way or the other by any amount of cash. Her continuing marriage to Tiger is solely dependent on him now; on the way he embraces the therapy he is undergoing just as much as the way he behaves. It's true to say she has thawed a lot since the car crash back on Thanksgiving [November 26] but Tiger isn't off the hook yet."
