We all know that being a highly successful professional sportsperson will provide some rather lucrative rewards as tournament prize money has continued to increase, as has the number of sponsorship deals and other commercial endorsements that can come their way if they have been able to put themselves in the public eye.
Golfers are no different to any other sportsperson in any other field, with many of them able to make millions of dollars each and every year depending on what they are able to achieve as they play around the world on some of the finest golf courses.
Indeed, when looking at prize money, winning one of the golf majors that take place will certainly give a player a healthy bank balance at the end of the tournament, whilst those who successfully predict the winner as part of their golf betting experience would only have to be envious that they are not able to win as much as them.
With the vast amounts of money that are available to win when playing on the PGA Tour and the European Tour, property is always going to be something that many of them will want to splash the cash on. Naturally, they will want somewhere that they and their family can enjoy and live in when they are not travelling the world with their golf bag.
However, some golfers have managed to acquire themselves some truly lavish properties, with many of them being something that many of us mere mortals would only ever dream of having the keys to.
When you are one of the greatest players of the sport, then having one of the greatest homes in the world is something that will likely follow. Tiger Woods certainly managed to achieve that when he purchased the lavish estate that he has on Jupiter Island in Florida.
Boasting an incredible 16,127 square feet of living space and a private beach, as well as a huge swimming pool and a diving pool, a tennis/basketball court, and a gym being just the tip of the iceberg in regards to what he has on offer, it probably does not come as a surprise that it has a worth of more than $60 million.
Not to mention, there is a massive guest house, a golf course (naturally) and two yacht docks. Tiger simply has it all in Jupiter Island.
One of Woods’ previous neighbors in Jupiter Island up until very recently, Greg Norman also had a home that truly needs to be seen to believe exists! Again, being one of the best players of your era helps, and Norman was certainly one of them when he was playing on the professional tour.
Having sold up for around $55 million, he had over 26,000 square feet of land that boasted seven separate buildings, as well as a 50-foot swimming pool, a 165-foot deep water dock for superyachts; notwithstanding all of the other amenities that he had, as well.
Still only 28-years-old, Jordan Spieth is a name that would seem to have been around a lot longer than his name would suggest. Indeed, the Dallas-native has continued to impress with his ability on the golf course and his current No. 12 ranking shows just how well he continues to play.
Therefore, it probably does not come as a surprise to learn that he has the keys to his own mansion in his home city. Based in the prestigious neighborhood of Preston Hollow in Dallas, Texas, Spieth managed to buy the property at the age of 22 and spent around $7.1 million for it!
He certainly gets a lot for his money, as well, as his 16,665-square foot mansion has five bedrooms and several bathrooms, whilst also featuring an impressive kitchen and wine cellar. Additionally, there is an infinity pool, a fire pit and a fully-equipped kitchen outdoors, as well as an indoor basketball court that is below the 12-car garage that is likely to be full of supercars.
Oh, do not forget that there is a golf simulator inside his man cave that allows him to continue to practice whilst away from the course on the rare chance that he gets to spend at home!
