bubba watson buys tiger woods house
Tiger Wood’s infamous Florida home has been sold.
The Windermere home was made popular by a 911call back in 2009, where a car accident had taken place that injured the golfer. There was a separate incident prior to the car accident, which involved a middle-age blond woman who was rushed to the hospital.
The .65 acre property located in Windermere, FL, was sold to the 2012 Masters champion, Bubba Watson. According to Watson, who announced the purchase of the home to Golf.com at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Doral, Florida.
“It’s true,” Watson said at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. “We closed last summer and we’re moving in next Thursday or Friday.”
“We’re going to move in next Thursday,” he said.
Tiger Woods, the former No.1 world’s best golfer, had bought the home back in 2000. According to public real estate records, Wood’s purchased the home for $2,475,000. It was recently assessed last year for $2,200,000. Watson has completely renovated the home.
“We ended up changing everything. We probably saved maybe five percent of it,” Watson said. “We built it all around Caleb. There are like three playrooms.”
The home’s original plans had included nine bathrooms and eight bedrooms, but it is anyone’s guess what Bubba’s final layout for the home will be.
At Isleworth, Watson’s neighbors will include fellow PGA Tour players including Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose.
“The one I’ve talked to the most is Charles Howell,” Watson said. “He has two kids and talked about how family-oriented Isleworth is. They got programs for kids, tennis camps, golf camps, family night every Wednesday night for dinner. They were all things we wanted to be involved in, and the golf course is really good, too, for me to practice.”
