Most people know two things about Tiger Woods' yacht: It's big, and it is named Privacy . As you would expect from someone who names his boat Privacy , Woods has never revealed much information about his yacht. But we can put together a profile of the yacht based on other sources of public information about it.

How Big Is Woods' Yacht?

There are some basics about the Woods' yacht that are known to be true. For example, it's 155 feet long. That's a big boat for an individual owner, but it's nowhere near the size of the biggest yachts on the seas (which top 500 feet in length), and it's not even the biggest yacht owned by a golfer: Greg Norman has a yacht that is nearly 230 feet in length.

But hey, give him a break: Woods purchased the boat in 2004. He can always get a new one if a 155-foot, 2004-vintage yacht starts to feel a little cramped in size.

How Much Woods' Boat Cost to Buy

Woods bought his yacht from Christensen Shipyards in Vancouver, Wash., for a reported $20 million. According to Power and Motor Yacht magazine, Tiger's yacht is a "155 Trideck Motor Yacht known as Hull 026."

(Ironically, the shipbuilders of Woods' Privacy allegedly violated the golfer's privacy, according to a subsequent lawsuit that Woods filed against Christensen. Woods claimed in his suit that the shipbuilders, contrary to agreement, used Woods' name and photos to promote their business. MSNBC.com reported in 2006 that the suit was settled in Woods' favor for $1.6 million.)

Woods took delivery of his yacht in time for his wedding to Elin Nordegren in 2004; the couple spent their wedding night aboard the Privacy . The Palm Beach Post has reported that it was Nordegren, prior to the wedding, who made most of the interior decorating choices for the boat.

Tiger's yacht is docked at a marina in North Palm Beach, Fla. (It is believed that Tiger Woods' house in Jupiter Island, Fla., has enough room on its Intracoastal Waterway frontage to berth Woods' yacht, although, as far as we know, Woods has never docked it there.)

Amenities, Crew and More Details About Woods' Yacht

Power and Motor Yacht magazine has reported that the Privacy has a 12,000-gallon fuel tank that will take the boat 4,000 miles, with a top speed of 17 knots.

The yacht is reported to have 6,500 square feet of living and work space and a capacity to sleep up to 21 people in a master suite and five guest rooms. It includes, according to various sources, a gym and theater, and carries multiple watercraft such as jet skis. It takes a crew of nine to operate.

People magazine has reported of Woods' yacht that it "offers all the comforts of home and then some: a 2,000-gallon water tank, five guestrooms, a Jacuzzi, a gym, an elevator, a sky-lounge bar, a walk-in refrigerator, a deck dining area that seats 12, and two built-in wall safes."

That's a nice boat!

Tiger's Other Boat: The Solitude

Woods also owns another boat, a 61-footer named Solitude . The Solitude is a dive boat: a boat scuba diving enthusiasts use to to get out to their diving destinations. It's not a yacht, in other words, but it's a good guess that as dive boats go the Solitude is a mighty fine one. It was custom built, according to People Magazine , for a cost of from $2 million to $3 million, by a company named Garlington Landeweer Marine. According to the magazine, the Solitude is docked at Pirate’s Cove Resort & Marina, about 10 minutes from Woods' estate in Jupiter Island, Fla.

Inside Tiger Woods’ £15m superyacht Privacy with hi-tech gym, massive jacuzzi and running costs of £1.5m a year

• Published : 8:03 ET, Apr 5 2022
• Updated : 8:04 ET, Apr 5 2022

TIGER WOODS could be set for an incredible return to golf at this year's Masters in Augusta.

The fifteen-time Major winner has amassed a fortune from his lucrative career - and owns a stunning £15m superyacht for cruising the high seas.

The former world No 1 has jokingly referred to his amazing 155ft vessel as his "dinghy" in the past.

The amazing boat, which Woods bought in 2004, measures 6,500 sq ft and can sleep ten guests in five state rooms.

There are also four cabins that house the ship's nine crew members.

In addition to that there is a fully-equipped gym on board, a three-person elevator to get between floors, a massive eight-person Jacuzzi and a bar.

Inside Tiger's lair

Tiger's yacht includes:

• Large deck bar
• Eight-person Jacuzzi
• Scuba-tank fill station
• Inflatable decompression chamber
• Cherry woodwork in the interior
• VIP stateroom with two queen size cabin amidships and a twin cabin
• Gym with a treadmill, exercise bike and free weights
• Three-person elevator

There is also a scuba station and still room on the yacht to carry three jet skis, two ocean kayaks and two Vespa scooters.

Really, it's no wonder that the whole thing costs just over £1.5m a year to run.

Privacy has a top speed of 18 knots and our interior shots show how it is finished in a classy cherry woodwork.

Despite the convenience of a lift, there is a sweeping staircase on board with transparent steps and a cherry handrail.

Woods often lives on the yacht when competing at events on New York's Long island.

However it is usually moored near his £41m home on Jupiter Island in Florida.

The Most Extravagant Features Of Tiger Woods' $20 Million Luxury Superyacht

When you're a billionaire athlete like Tiger Woods, owning a fancy superyacht comes with the territory. The 15-time major winner is the owner of a 155-foot luxury yacht he bought in 2004. The yacht is aptly named "Privacy," and is reported to have an eye-watering $20 million  price tag.

Woods is known to stay on his yacht during various golf tournaments. In an interview, he told Business Insider that the yacht gave him a needed break from the tournament and helped to avoid traffic chaos when traveling to the competition. Over the years, the vessel has been frequently seen docked in New York whenever he competes at PGA championship events on Long Island , or in the Bahamas where he hosts his annual golf tournament , Hero World Challenge, on the capital island of New Providence. When he's not traveling, the vessel is usually found at his home base in Jupiter, Florida.

An inside look at Privacy

Privacy is a bit smaller compared to other superyachts owned by wealthy celebrities such as Steven Spielberg or business tycoons like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (who allegedly is going to be the owner of the world's largest sailing yacht). Business Insider once reported that a journalist had teasingly asked Woods if he felt weird about his yacht not being the "biggest yacht in the yard." Woods cheekily responded: "I'm not opposed to that."

Nevertheless, it is still an impressive luxury yacht that features three decks and is powered by twin 1,800-horsepower engines. As expected, it comes with all the amenities that a boat of its caliber has. It comfortably fits 10 to 12 people plus nine crew members on board. Additionally, this high-class cruiser has cherry woodwork in its interior.

There is lots of entertainment for everyone on board as well. Reports say that the deck has a large jacuzzi that fits up to eight people, a VIP stateroom with two queen-size cabins and a twin cabin bar, a personal gym, and even an inflatable decompression chamber for scuba diving (via USA Today ). Besides that, it also comes with a garage to fit jet skis, motorized scooters, and kayaks to have some ocean fun for both Tiger Woods and his guests.

Inside Privacy: Tiger Woods' $20 Million Yacht

Tiger Woods sails in style in his ultra-luxurious yacht Privacy.

Quick Links

It's all in the name, and it's all in tiger’s game, spending big on luxury, the yacht’s maintenance cost.

Tiger Woods has been living life in his very own 'heaven-on-earth' yacht, named Privacy, during the U.S open. Docked near the Shinnecock Hills in New York, Woods chose the more convenient yet costly approach to steer clear of the horrendous traffic golfers encounter on their way to the game. Privacy has affluently given in Five staterooms for guests, four rooms for the crew, a gym, an eight-person hot tub, kayaks, scooters, and whatnot. This absurdly large and exotically expensive watercraft has been one of Tiger’s most significant investments . Besides traveling to the Bahamas for the Hero World Challenge, Tiger has taken this lump-some beauty in many different locations.

The Privacy yacht of Tiger Woods has a palatial prominence in the large luxury club of big boats. One must be aware of Privacy’s multifaceted facilities and amenities it tags along with for Woods and his ventures.

Privacy, as what Tiger titled the mega 55 million dollar custom-built watercraft he owns, was kept that name so he could keep his personal life relatively private. Emerging a website for the same, Tiger Woods and his alleged affairs and life have always been a private game for the world.

This 100-footer has been crafted and modeled after James Bond’s submarines and was made very clear about his prime-time derived inspiration. Woods’ Privacy yacht is no less than luxury on the water for a capacity of more than one person’s needs with its crew pack of nine members, a three-person-elevator, and an eight-person jacuzzi fitting. The yacht inhibits a travel speed of approximately 17 knots, making the watercraft an excellent choice of Woods, eschewing away the road traffic.

This commodious 47-meter creation also covers a large bar, a station to fill scuba tanks, and an inflatable decompression chamber, making it plush and posh for the up-market. The cherry woodwork has beautifully encompassed the interiors of this big boat with a VIP stateroom aft and two queen-size cabins amidship and a twin cabin, making ample room for Woods and his frequent tour buddies, as rightly mentioned in USA today .

The workout room has been converted into the fitness space from the lush cabin it originally was crafted as. Tiger’s workout necessitates a treadmill, exercise bike, and free weights being ornately equipped in the arena. The transparent stairs and a cherry handrail add the oomph to the yacht from an aesthetic point of view.

Tiger’s open floor plan entails a main living area with only a single divider between the saloon and the dining room. The functionalities cost up to 2 million dollars a year to operate smoothly. Tiger, the highest-paid athlete's yacht, is a trifold fiberglass motor yacht with a numbing 9-meter beam up in the roar. The motor force on the yacht derives from a pair of 1,800 hp MTU/Detroit Diesel motors, while two 99 kilowatt Northern Lights generators providing electrical power are the substantial swanking components.

Tiger Woods’ yacht can carry three SeaDoos, two ocean kayaks, and two Vespa scooters, and that’s not all it. This massive boat can hold up to a whopping 12,000 gallons of gas. Powered by twin 1800-horsepower, the type of fuel aggravates the support the best of this booming boat craft, as stated in the Yacht Harbour .

The golf player surely doesn’t face costing issues for his water mansion. Privacy costs around 2,40,000 dollars per week which count up to 1.6 million dollars gushing in water, technically per year. Wood’s numbers plummet quite a bit if the boat's utility has extended periods.

Tiger’s net worth pulls all strings to maintain such a luxury lifestyle with the Privacy boat, as he’s made more than 100 million dollars single-handedly during his career. Residing his heart near the boundless beauty, Antigua - right on a beach with his own beautiful home, thus privacy is safe, secured, and un-stowed when he’s not using it.

The 14-time major champion in golf with a net worth of approximately $700 million has a stunner crew for this super-boat. The ship’s operating budget floats around for the yacht maintenance and crew member salaries - two-thirds of operating expenses, excluding the benefits. The shining nine members help the boat afloat and manage the supplies, food, and other miscellaneous costs such as paying off fines imparted on by authorities - which also takes away one-third of the cost as revealed in Wheels inquirer .

Being an ultimate lump of luxury on the water, Privacy has not failed to shock and surprise us with the available amenities and provisions for Tiger and his ventures.

He reportedly bought it for Elin who gave it back during the couples’ divorce settlement in 2010 due to its $2m per-year upkeep.

The 6,500 square foot vessel features a 2,000 gallon water tank, five guestrooms, a jacuzzi, a gym, a lift, a sky-lounge bar, a walk-in fridge, a deck dining area and two built-in wall safes, according to  People Magazine .

It has hosted the likes of Michael Jordan, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey.

Will Tiger Woods’ $20 Million ‘Honeymoon’ Yacht steal the Hero World Challenge’s Center Stage Yet Again?

T iger Woods ‘ comeback has stolen the center stage of the golf world, and rightfully so! The golf world giant has finally made a comeback after having his fans wait for over seven months. However, it’s not just Tiger Woods who has the eyes of the golf world set on him.

Tiger Woods’s yacht, Privacy , has a fanbase of its own. The famous 6,500-square-foot masterpiece has the golf world’s love, just like its owner. Woods even went on his honeymoon in the same yacht. Fans are surely filled with an estimation of whether Privacy will steal the show at the 2023 Hero World Challenge or not.

Is Tiger Woods’s yacht set to steal the show yet again?

Woods’ famous honeymoon yacht has caught the attention of the golf world at the 2023 Hero World Challenge. The last time Privacy caught this much attention was back in the 2019 edition of the Hero World Challenge, where the 82X PGAT winner finished in fourth place. Privacy is definitely a show stealer and has definitely proven the same time and again.

This yacht holds a special place not only in the fans’ hearts but in the golfer’s heart as well. The reason for that special is not only the yacht’s magnificence but also because of a special memory. The famous luxury yacht played a special part in his wedding with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren , back in 2004. In fact, the golf world legend has been rumored to have been practicing at his luxurious residence in Albany, Bahamas.

The billionaire’s famous yacht has the eyes of the larger world of golf set on it. Only time will tell if Privacy will end up stealing the center stage at the 2023 Hero World Challenge yet again or not. The renewed interest within the golf world about the chances of getting a glance at Privacy ‘s magnanimity is proof of the fandom it has accrued due to its lavish nature.

Woods’s dreamy yacht, valued at a whopping $20 million, has been stationed in Albany, Bahamas for years. It would be there during the famous tournament as well.

It has been a tradition for many fans to take a boat just to get a glimpse of this masterpiece stationed in the Bahamas during the Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods Yacht: Everything You Want To Know

Tiger Woods is one of only three professional athletes in the world who has achieved billionaire status alongside LeBron James and Michael Jordan. As you can imagine, with that kind of cash comes the ability to buy a very nice boat and in 2004 he shelled out for an impressive toy. He purchased the yacht with his ex-wife just before their 2004 wedding and they apparently spent their wedding night on board, so it was something of a wedding gift to themselves. 

What’s the Name of Tiger Woods’ Yacht?

Woods chose to name his yacht Privacy, and you may know the story behind that one to a greater or lesser degree. When the yacht was commissioned back in 2004, Woods actually ended up suing the yacht maker Christensen. The company, at the time a fairly well known and reliable shipyard, had been using Wood’s name and images of the yacht and Woods himself in their promotional materials. So, basically, trying to get business off of his name and the work they did for him.

Woods sued the company and by 2006 the case was settled out of court. The yacht makers had nothing to say on the record regarding the case, the yacht or Woods after that.

In addition to this scandal, Woods has been constantly in the eye of the media and the paparazzi for most of his career, including some well known scandals that happened even after he bought the yacht, so the Privacy name was well chosen. 

How Big is Tiger Woods Yacht?

Tiger Woods’ yacht is a respectable 155 feet in length with a 29.5 foot beam. It features three decks and while it’s nowhere near one of the largest yachts in the world , it’s actually one of the biggest celebrity-owned yachts on the water. Most of the larger vessels out there are owned by industrialists, royalty and other titans in the business world. 

How Fast is Tiger Woods Yacht?

Word is that Privacy has a cruising speed of about 16 knots with a top speed of 18 knots. Not a speed demon by any means, but no one buys a 155-foot long yacht for racing. It’s powered by two 1,800-horsepower MTU engines and features a 12,000 gallon fuel tank. The yacht has a range of 4,000 nautical miles. 

How Much Did Tiger Woods’ Yacht Cost?

In 2004, Woods is said to have dropped about $20 million on his super yacht. Again, not nearly the most expensive yacht in the world but clearly quite an expensive vessel in its own right. Because it’s such a large vessel it requires a crew of 9 to keep it operating. That, along with the fuel costs for that big 12,000 gallon tank and various other costs of operation means it costs Woods an additional $2 million or so per year to keep the boat running. 

What’s the Interior of Tiger Woods Yacht Like?

With a name like Privacy it’s no surprise that there aren’t a ton of details about Woods’ yacht but, that said, it’s been nearly 20 years so it’s been around long enough that we do know a good deal of what’s going on inside the ship. He once gave the Golf Channel a tour and they were able to snap some still images that give an idea of what it’s like inside which you can check out in the video above.

The boat was designed to accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms. There’s an additional four cabins that can handle the crew members. The VIP stateroom is aft and there are two queen size cabin amidships as well as a twin cabin. All told there’s said to be about 6,500 square feet of living space on board. The upper deck of the vessel is also an observation deck for those looking to just relax and enjoy the view. 

Woods has been known to live on the yacht when he’s golfing, rather than staying at hotels like some other golfers. He first lived on board during the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot Golf Club. Later, he was aboard Privacy during the 2018 US Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island in New York, and then again during the 2019 PGA Championship.

There’s a gym as you’d probably expect for the yacht of an athlete. It’s said to house a treadmill, exercise bike, and free weights. There’s also a jacuzzi tub big enough for eight people at a time. In addition, there’s a movie theater on board as well as a well-stocked bar.

The dining area is large and opulent, as you’d expect, and there is room for 12 guests to enjoy a meal. With so many people eating you’d need a well-stocked kitchen and it seems like the yacht has a walk-in fridge in the galley so there’s little worry about not having enough on board to keep everyone fed.

When it comes to having fun, the yacht has a few water toys available for Woods and his guests. There are three jet skis on board as well as a pair of ocean kayaks. When you reach land there are even two Vespa scooters you can take out. There’s also scuba gear and apparently an entire decompression chamber. You can also fill up the air tanks on board as well.

As for the finer details, that stuff is still kind of up in the air as Woods has not let many people on board to photograph anything in the years he’s owned the vessel. Some of those who have been aboard describe the interior as being pretty classical as far as yachts go. Features are done in cherry woodwork and there’s supposed to be a staircase connecting the three decks with transparent steps and a cherry handrail. Of course, if you’re not inclined to be doing any stair climbing on a yacht, there’s an elevator on board as well.

The main floor is designed with an open concept to take advantage of the flow of the whole vessel and, of course, ensure that passengers get to enjoy the most of not just the features but the views while they’re out on the water.

Alongside that 12,000 gallon fuel tank, there’s a 2,000 gallon water tank to keep freshwater on board for crew and passengers. Two 99-kilowatt Northern Lights generators provide electrical power to keep the lights on for everyone.

Details on any security features are definitely scant, but it’s been said there are at least two safes on board for passengers to store valuables if need be. 

What is the Solitude?

You may have heard that Woods has a boat named Solitude as opposed to Privacy. Well, as far as we can tell, he owns both. Solitude was purchased back in 2010 and the rumored price was $3 million. Solitude was bought as a dive boat as opposed to a luxury yacht that Woods planned to be living on while he’s golfing in coastal cities. 

As we mentioned above, the Privacy has a decompression chamber, scuba gear and more scuba-related amenities. Woods is an avid scuba diver as was his ex-wife. He even learned free-diving and spearfishing. The dive boat seems to have been purchased to more specifically focus on the hobby for his ex, with whom he is still friends.

The Bottom Line

Tiger Woods’ yacht called Privacy cost him around $20 million back in 2004. It’s a 155-foot vessel with room for 10 passengers and 9 crew including an interior VIP stateroom. It features a good deal of fun water toys like Sea Doos, two ocean kayaks, and scuba gear for the scuba diving fans, as well as a full twin cabin gym, a jacuzzi, a sweeping staircase, and more. Woods still makes frequent use of the yacht and even lives on board when he’s working various golf tours and opens.

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

Inside Tiger Woods' 155ft superyacht 'Privacy' with gym, jacuzzi and decompression chamber

Tiger woods has the perfect place to relax and unwind from away from the world for when he is not out on the golf course or shaping the future of the sport..

Tiger Woods has a busy schedule ahead as talks continue between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour to confirm a merger with the DP World Tour. Since becoming a player director on the policy board in August, Woods is more involved than ever in discussions about golf 's future.

If you cannot find room in the jacuzzi, a built-in scuba tank filling station is onboard. You can brave the sea or use the inflatable decompression chamber. The ship also has three jet skis and two ocean kayaks for exploring above water.

There are two Vespa scooters stored for when the ship docks on dry land. Back on board, there is a gym with an ocean view. Guests can enjoy the scenery while running on the treadmill or using the elliptical cross trainer.

The ship has plenty of space to relax. There is a built-in bar and dining table made from stylish cherry woodwork. The ship even has an elevator to move between its three floors. For shorter trips, there's a transparent staircase.

Woods sometimes stays on the ship during tournaments. When the US Open was last at Shinnecock Hills in New York , he docked 'Privacy' in Sag Harbor.

Woods said about the experience: "Staying on the dinghy definitely helps. It's been nice to get away from the tournament scene and go to my dinghy and just enjoy it."

When not in competition, Woods often spends time by the sea.

He added: "I love it, love being in the water. Yeah, I love it. Absolutely love it," before revealing that he can reach 80 feet underwater while free diving.

While not immediately apparent, the crossover with golf is there. Patience, Woods explained, is crucial and all part of the process. "Calming the mind, the heart rate, and being in that meditative state” matters most when submerged, Woods shared while walking around on the show.

Tiger Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren are now friends , as reported by ‘People’ in 2018. According to sources, the former couple is now closer than they ever were during their marriage. Their friendship is on good terms, mainly because they never wanted their kids, Charlie and Sam, to face any issues due to their split.

Tiger Woods to compete at U.S. Open after USGA grants special exemption

Tiger Woods was awarded a special exemption into the U.S. Open at Pinehurst on Thursday.

Darren Riehl

Guess who’s back?

On Thursday afternoon, the USGA announced that it awarded a special exemption to Tiger Woods , the 15-time major champion and three-time U.S. Open winner, to compete in this year’s field at host course Pinehurst No. 2. Woods has accepted the invitation and plans to compete in the U.S. Open, which would mark his fourth start of 2024 should he also tee it up at the PGA Championship in May.

The news comes after Woods’ exemption into the national championship lapsed in 2023, the end of a five-year exemption for major championship winners from Tiger’s triumph at the 2019 Masters. Without an exemption into the event, Woods would have been expected to earn his way into the field through U.S. Open qualifying , a feat that might have proven impossible given the playing limitations on his body.

Tiger Woods revealed Scottie Scheffler’s genius in 5 telling words

Eventually, the USGA’s “special exemption committee” deemed that path unnecessary — granting Woods an exemption into the event. Woods’ exemption marks just the second time such efforts have been used to grant a player entrance into the event in the last five years and the first since Phil Mickelson at Torrey Pines in 2021.

According to the USGA’s own guidelines, special exemptions are awarded “purely based on a player’s extraordinary performance s  over the years, especially in USGA championships, additional major championships, time spent as World No. 1, Tour wins, as well as recent performances/ranking.”

“The U.S. Open, our national championship, is a truly special event for our game and one that has helped define my career,” Woods said in a press release announcing the exemption. “I’m honored to receive this exemption and could not be more excited for the opportunity to compete in this year’s U.S. Open, especially at Pinehurst, a venue that means so much to the game.”

The USGA’s decision to add Woods to the field comes on the same day that LIV Golf’s Talor Gooch announced he would not be attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open. Gooch, 32, has won three times in LIV dating back to early 2023, but his lack of major championship exemptions or Official World Golf Ranking points left him needing to participate in U.S. Open qualifying to earn a spot in the national championship field. He’s played in 11 career majors, where his best career finish is a T14 at the 2022 Masters.

Woods, on the other hand, is the winner of nine USGA titles, including the ’00, ’02 and ’08 U.S. Opens, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers ever to compete at the professional level.

“The story of the U.S. Open could not be written without Tiger Woods,” John Bodenhamer, the USGA’s chief championships officer, said in a release. “From his 15-stroke victory at Pebble Beach in 2000 to his inspiring win on a broken leg at Torrey Pines in 2008, this championship is simply better when Tiger is in the field, and his accomplishments in the game undoubtedly made this an easy decision for our special exemption committee.”
