Tiger Woods buys $65m mansion

Tiger Woods has a stunning new $65m lair.

The world's best golfer has splashed the cash on 'one of the oldest and grandest estates' in New York's ritzy Hamptons resort.

Tiger's six-acre gated estate includes a 13,200sq-ft Colonial Revival-style mansion with six bedroom suites. There is also a 7,500sq-ft guesthouse, and a four-car garage with staff quarters.

The luxurious grounds of the 19th century manor house come with 420ft of ocean frontage, an oceanfront tennis court and an oceanfront swimming pool and spa.

It is just the latest property buy for Woods, whose portfolio now includes a $40m estate on Jupiter Island, Florida and a 16,500-sq-ft home at the golf course he has designed in Dubai.

Tiger will fit in nicely to the Hamptons, which is world famous as a playground of the rich and famous.

"It's one of the oldest and grandest estates on the East End," one broker said. "As soon as something goes on the market on Gin Lane it gets snapped up quickly, even in this slowing economy."

Tiger has bought the property from Austrian-born businessman Gerhard Andlinger, the New York Post reports.
