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.
