Golf Today: Tiger Woods, 30, has agreed to buy a 10-acre oceanfront estate on Jupiter Island, Florida, for 38 million dollars.
Woods, a 10-time major golf champion, led all US athletes with 89.4 million dollars in endorsements and prize money in 2004 and set a record sale price for a property in what Forbes magazine calls the nation’s “Most Expensive ZIP Code.”

The 400 block of South Beach Road that Woods would own extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the nearby Intracoastal Waterway. It includes a main house, two guest houses and a beach house plus two boat docks.
Woods’ 155-foot yacht “Privacy”, which the golf star now docks in North Palm Beach, could be docked in one of the deep water docks, sources told the newspaper.
Woods and his wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, became interested in the area because Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife Mia live nearby. Nordegren had been a nanny for Parnevik when she met Woods in 2003.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.

    I looked at that house, but there was no bowling alley.

    No bowling? What were they thinking?
