Tiger Replaces Privacy With Solitude?
/Despite the Tweet from Steiney's future biographer suggesting that the rumors aren't true, the New York Post's Don Kaplan is going with the story of Tiger selling his yacht and notes that a replacement has already been purchased, a measly 62-footer called Solitude. Paging Dr. Freud!
Woods is shopping for a broker to put it up for sale this week, but at least one major yacht builder said the golfer is asking too much, according to the Palm Beach Post.
"The market on big yachts has gone down," said North Palm Beach yacht builder John Staluppi, whose Millennium Super Yachts is just down the road from the Old Port Cove Marina, where Woods docks his vessel.
"Banks aren't financing and the economy is off. It's a buyer's market," said Staluppi.
"Unless he sells to someone who wants to brag that he's got Tiger's yacht, he'll get about $20 million."
The golfer, who counts deep-water spear fishing among his hobbies, recently bought a more sporty 62-foot diving boat, Solitude, for $3.1 mllion.
Tiger was last spotted aboard Privacy two weeks ago in Miami with his latest gal pal, 22-year-old Florida grad student Alyse Lahti.
