LOVE cheat and newly divorced golfer Tiger Woods is ready to move into his new $50 million beachfront estate after workmen were seen completing the finishing touches this weekend.

The sports star began building the opulent 10,000sq foot property on ultra-exclusive Jupiter Island, Florida, with his now ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

The 4ha estate, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, was initially bought by Woods in 2007 for $35 million.

He has spent another $15 million developing the property into a family home.

The grand building has huge windows and even a glass-fronted lift to take advantage of the sea views, a gigantic master bedroom with his-and-her bathrooms and three additional bedroom suites. Outside, there is a tennis court, gym, spectacular diving and lap pool, golf course and a pair of boat docks for Woods' 10m yacht, Privacy.

According to his architects' plans, the basement also houses a big wine cellar and possibly a cinema and games area. Another four buildings adjoin the main house, including a boathouse, golf training studio, a stand-alone garage and a guesthouse.

Neighbours include singer Celine Dion and golfer Greg Norman.

Woods's five-year marriage to Nordegren collapsed almost a year ago, exposed after a bizarre car crash outside his $2.2 million mansion in Orlando. She received an estimated $105 million from the divorce.

    Jacki and fair play: how do you know he DOESN'T give to charities? Do you personally inspect his accounts? It's his money, let him do as he pleases with it. And I don't see how it's anyone elses business whether he's discrete or not. There's no point having money if you're not going to enjoy it!

    he's just showing what he has and i think its disgusting to build a $50 million dollar property, when there are people in the world starving, and homeless, why doesn't he give some to charities, and i can bet there will be a bevy of beauties that will be hanging around as well.i don't envy what he has but he could be a little discreet on how much he spends.

    I have no respect or sympathy whatsoever for Mr. Woods. I have a very personal experience of this bad behaviour and the hurt and long range damage it does, especially to the beautiful children innocentlyl involved. However I would say and not in his defense, what a mob of hypocritcal mob pleaser the 'press' are!!!! Sanctimious claptrap!!!! "Love cheat and newly divorced" anything to gain a 'great' headline. This is deplorable conduct by Woods and Press alike. I personally wish they would all mature, learn respect,honour and integrity in their lives. Long live 'good' marriages. Amen
