Tiger Woods Makes Some (Real Estate) Moves


In the final days before his split from his wife of six years, Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods clearly was on the prowl -- for some new luxury digs. On Sunday night at around 8 p.m., he was spotted in New York City's West Village neighborhood unloading boxes and golf clubs on his own from a double-parked BMW near his new apartment on Hudson Street, where he stopped to pet an attractive brunette's dog, according to the New York Daily News. Then it was reported that Woods had taken out a $54.5 million mortgage (that would be a jumbo mortgage, no doubt) for his new Florida estate, which is located on tony Jupiter Island and has a tennis court, oxygen therapy room, multiple pools and a fitness center. Despite his rocky divorce, public humiliation and peripatetic golf game, it's still apparently good to be Tiger.
