Tiger Woods has some interesting preferences when it comes to golf. When asked whether he would rather be in a fairway bunker or dealing with an average lie in the rough, he, without taking a second, said, “A fairway bunker.” “I can guarantee that I’m gonna get clean contact on the back of the ball,” he explained, emphasizing how it helps him control spin. Interestingly, Woods has pretty solid-looking bunkers in the backyard of his Jupiter-based humble abode.
Woods has always dreamed of having a practice facility to sharpen his short and mid-range game, and after relocating to Jupiter, he finally made that dream a reality. Recently, the stunning pictures of his backyard made their way to the internet. And let us tell you, it looked nothing less than the well-put golf course.
You see he likes to practice at home. He focuses his attention on his putting from 6 feet. “I end up doing a few sets of chalk lines from probably about 6 feet and in. I work on my start line (and) I try and get that dialed in,” Woods said to Golf TV a few years ago. “And then I really don’t spend a whole lot of time in the 8-15 foot range. Once I get a lot of my dialed-in time on my putting, then I’ll lag putt a lot and start trying to get my feel in my fingers and how I like to release the putter and feel it in my stroke. I like to do designated tee drill, line drill, and then lag putt to death.”
The 48-year-old likes to practice in the wind. Reason? The wind helps him magnify spin and signals to him where he’s off. Woods’s backyard has it all: bunkers, greens, space to hit full wedges amid palm trees, and the Atlantic Ocean in the background!
His Jupiter Island home is now valued at an incredible $80 million and is all about fitness, mental health, and personal priorities. As you step inside, you’re greeted by a stunning 3,300 sq. ft. living area, paired with an array of high-tech amenities. The golfer enjoys a 100-foot swimming, a lap pool, a 60-foot diving pool, a basketball-tennis court, and a fully equipped gym to keep himself in top shape. And when he’s not hitting the weights, you might find him unwinding in his private theater or multimedia room.
What truly makes this property special is the attention to detail. Take the oxygen therapy room, for instance. It’s a cutting-edge setup designed to help the 15-time major winner optimize his physical performance. Plus, there’s a handy elevator that makes moving around the house easier, especially when he’s dealing with injuries. As you know, Woods has had quite the journey with injuries over the years.
The glimpses of his spectacular backyard got the fans talking!
Tiger Woods’s private golf practice area is a dream for many
Taken aback by the beauty of the Woods’s backyard; a fan expressed, “Holy crater bunkers,” praising the sand in the bunkers that are specifically chosen to replicate what Woods would face at major tournaments. Well, 15 majors did not come without practice.
One fan noted, the nine-hole field is just opposite the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it more breathtaking. “Wow, a nine-hole field with oceanfront,” posted on X, while another wrote, “I would rarely be inside my house,” praising the awe-striking beauty. The 145-long green yard has everything to perfect one’s golf game, including 4 different types of putting greens. So, how can a golf lover be inside the home? right?
Let’s be real! Owning a golf course comes with great responsibilities. From repairing and replacing club assets, mowing and chemically treating turf, or maintaining the irrigation systems. To shoot your balls perfectly, a professional needs a perfect grip over the greens. To this one fan, humorously speculating on social media, “Water bill a million dollars a month.” According to the USGA, golf courses need one acre-foot of water to cover a one-acre area, which is equal to 325,851 gallons.
But how do you think Woods was able to achieve all of it? A fan says it’s his blood and sweat he put into his game. “Good for Tiger; he earned every blade of grass and every grain of sand depicted in these photos.” And we could not agree more! He is the richest golfer and tops the money list with lifetime earnings of $120,999,166 on the Tour. His journey has been nothing short of resilient.
Tiger Woods has fought through adversity, from the tough lessons and challenges instilled by his late father, Earl, to his triumphant return to the top of the golfing world in the British Open in 2006. Every aspect, from the golfing greens to his impressive mansion, showcases the dedication and hard work that have defined Tiger’s legendary career. And now, his 15-year-old son Charlie Woods is making headlines. More so after an impressive ace at Rotz Carlton, and an impressive 176 MPH speed. The fans couldn’t control themselves from putting expectations on him. “Rolling Charlie,” a fan wrote, while the other wrote, “I bet Charlie is grinding out there 24/7.”
How would you feel if you ever received an invite to play with Tiger Woods in his backyard? We sure would be on the top of the world!
