GETTING good at golf certainly has its perks. <\/p>\n
There is worldwide fame and glory to be won across the sport. <\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
But there is also a tidy sum of money<\/span> which comes with the territory.<\/p>\n Even before the PGA Tour agreed to merge with cash-rich newbies LIV golf, the tour offered a cool \u00a3407,000 ($500,000) annual pay initiative for players who competed in at least 15 events. <\/p>\n Over the course of the season the PGA Tour has a prize pool of \u00a320.5million ($25m).<\/p>\n Not to mention the numerous sponsorship which can come with the fame of being a pro golfer. <\/p>\n You only need to look at the amazing houses of some of the best in the business<\/span> to understand the lavish life they can lead. <\/p>\n Although even among the elite there are disparities.<\/p>\n Starting out with the star with the joint-most tour wins, Tiger Woods has earned himself a more than a pretty penny over the years. <\/p>\n The golf legend, born in 1975, has a stunning \u00a341m property which he can call home. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The pad, located on the exclusive Jupiter Island in Florida, United States, comes equipped an entire range of assets which would be any golf fanatics dream.<\/p>\n A world-class gym space, huge media room, a wine<\/span> cellar and even a lift come in the 6,400-square foot multi-purpose building which comes separate from a stunning 3,300 square-foot living space. <\/p>\n Woods' two-piece home is connected by a glass-covered walkway. It plays host to an oxygen therapy room, a games basement and private cinema theatre<\/span>.<\/p>\n The home even comes with a four-hole practice golf course complete with six bunkers for the five-time Masters winner to practice.<\/p>\n However, it was only following his horror<\/span> car crash in 2021, which left Woods needing emergency surgery after suffering a fractured leg and fractured ankle, that Woods realised the vastness of his home. <\/p>\n Speaking in his first press conference since after the incident he admitted he was finding it difficult to traverse to near 10,000 square-foot property. <\/p>\n He said: "I built a really nice<\/span> house but I didn\u2019t realise how big it was until you start putting crutches on. <\/p>\n "I am on the better side of it but still have a long way to go."<\/p>\n Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy gazumped Woods' house in terms of size, though it is still dwarfed in terms of property value.<\/p>\n McIlroy, born in 1989, owns a massive 12,800 square-foot Florida mansion after selling his home on Jupiter Island for \u00a39m.<\/p>\n The Northern Irishman was set back an eye-watering \u00a38.1m ($10m) to buy the home from former Open champion Ernie Els.<\/p>\n His new pad is located in the Bear's Club, a golf development project founded by Jack Nicklaus in 1999 which is situated 85 miles north of Miami.<\/p>\n McIlroy swapped Woods as his neighbour for the likes of Michael Jordan and Serena Williams, basketball and tennis royalty respectively who call the neighbourhood home.<\/p>\n Its vast size is put to good use, with a whopping TEN bathrooms and seven bedrooms to boot. <\/p>\n There is a swimming pool, recording studio, games room and a home cinema as well as several balconies and a spacious living room.<\/p>\n The backyard even features<\/span> an outdoor pavilion, lounge area and tennis court<\/span> alongside large green spaces filled with trees.<\/p>\n American Dustin Johnson splashed out on his own plus-sized Florida property in 2017.<\/p>\n Located in North Palm Beach, Johnson's \u00a32.5m home measures in at nearly 7,2000 square feet.<\/p>\n There are six bedrooms – including a master bedroom closet so big it can feature as a seventh bedroom – and seven bathrooms scattered throughout his home.<\/p>\n It also comes equipped with a chef's kitchen and an island and breakfast bar. The pad even has two media rooms, an elevator and an emergency generator.<\/p>\n However, in 2020 Johnson added a plush new pad to his property portfolio in Jupiter's Admiral's Cove, which he then gave a full renovation in 2021.<\/p>\n This new 10,134 square-foot home, built in 1999, features an infinity pool, fire pit and summer<\/span> kitchen for all-year round barbecues. <\/p>\n The idyllic location has a luxury<\/span> waterfront and on-site golf community. <\/p>\n It is within walking distance of restaurants, gyms and a marina, while there is also a 45-hole golf course to play on nearby.<\/p>\n Brooks Koepka has an impressive property of his own on Jupiter Island. <\/p>\n The home comes in a 3,900 square-foot compound which now features a swimming pool – made even larger following renovation work – which has its own dock. <\/p>\n Despite costing \u00a32.5m when he brought the land, Koepka spent an eye-watering \u00a325m on upgrading it. <\/p>\n The upgrades most prominently featured the swimming pool and a new fence to improve privacy.<\/p>\n Jordan Spieth splashed out almost \u00a36m when he brought his appropriately named "Iceburg House" in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n After turning pro in 2012, the American cashed in his earnings from his double major's win in 2015 by buying his lavish home. <\/p>\n And Spieth has more than enough entertainment in the property, formerly owned by Hunter Mahan who revealed details of what was inside. <\/p>\n He told Dallas News: "[The house] has like a bachelor pad feel to it, even though didn't design it that way. It's gated, it's got great people there. It's secluded.<\/p>\n "I know Jordan doesn't like to live a secluded life, but he needs to. I know he's having a great time with it."<\/p>\n Spieth has access to an infinity pool, a golf simulator and a basketball court. <\/p>\n It also has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, several seating areas complete with entertainment units and wall-mounted TVs, a spaciouskitchen for with a room for a private chef and a 12-car garage.<\/p>\n If that was not enough then there is also a table tennis table and state-of-the-art gym.<\/p>\n Not to be outdone, Ian Poulter has his own impressive digs out in the Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Florida. <\/p>\n Poulter paid \u00a3650,000 to land the property back in 2009 which has a home gym – from where he often shares his workouts.<\/p>\n The property is home home to Poulter's stunning car collection.<\/p>\n This includes TWO\u00a0\u00a31m La Ferrari cars, a black open-top Aperta edition and a red coupe personalised with gatorskin interior features.<\/p>\n There are also two Ford<\/span> GTs, a Ferrari Enzo, Testarossa, 275 GTB and a 288 GTO, plus his own unique variations of the Italian supercar on his F12tdf and Speciale A.<\/p>\n Petrolhead Poulter even has an F1 simulator in his digs.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Lee Westwood had his own Palm Beach Gardens property which came with 10,000 square foot of land.<\/p>\n The property had six bedrooms to boot. <\/p>\n However, following his divorce<\/span> to Laurae Coltart Westwood sold the property for around \u00a34.5m. <\/p>\n He now reportedly lives in Newcastle Upon Tyne with Helen Storey.<\/p>\n Spaniard Jon Rahm had his own lavish home located in Arizona. <\/p>\n He owned a four-bed – one of which has a en-suite with a free-standing bathtub – property with partner Kelley Cahill.<\/p>\n The property featured its own golf course, dual pool and Jacuzzi, a wine cellar, game room, office and its own private miniature golf course with custom designed holes.<\/p>\n Rahm paid \u00a3800,000 for the pad back in 2017.<\/p>\n However, Rahm decided to move out of the home, putting it up for sale for \u00a31.2m in June 2023.<\/p>\nREAD MORE IN SPORT<\/h2>\n
