EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods? Privacy for sale!
Troubled Jupiter Island golfer Tiger Woods is putting his mega yacht Privacy up for sale, Page2Live has learned.
A Woods camp insider is telling me the golfer originally offered the 155-foot Christensen ship to ex-wife Elin Nordegren as his wedding present in 2004.
But Nordegren turned down the yacht during divorce-settlement talks with philandering Woods last summer.
“She didn’t want it because the upkeep is incredibly expensive,” the source said.
With a permanent crew of 13, Privacy costs more than $2 million a year to maintain.

Woods had the vessel sailed south to Fort Lauderdale in the fall. It was dry-docked in a yard for two months to paint the hull and re-surface the deck.
Privacy is now back at its home-port in North Palm Beach’s Old Port Cove, and Woods is shopping for a broker to list it for $25 million.

While Woods bought the ship for $20 million, he believes it appreciated in value because it’s been well taken care of.
But Palm Beach Gardens mega-yacht builder John Staluppi doubts the former world’s best player will get the asking price.
“The market on big yachts has gone down,” said Staluppi, who’s currently building a 200-footer. “Banks aren’t financing and the economy is off. It’s a buyer’s market.
“Unless he sells to someone who wants to brag that he’s got Tiger’s yacht, he’ll get about $20 million.”
So, why’s the golfer unloading his toy?
For one thing, he still has a brand-new 62-foot yacht, Solitude.
And he’s got only four years left to make good on his deal to pay Nordegren $100 million!
