Where Does Tiger Woods Live? Inside His Jupiter Island Estate

Where does Tiger Woods live? The golf legend has made his home on Jupiter Island, a slender barrier island in Martin County on Florida's Treasure Coast, since 2011. His oceanfront estate is famous for one feature in particular: a private practice course he designed to sharpen his own game. Here is what public reporting tells us about the property, the island, and why so many wealthy and famous people share his zip code.

Key takeaways

• Tiger Woods lives on Jupiter Island in Martin County, one of the wealthiest communities in the United States (zip code 33469).
• He bought the land with then-wife Elin Nordegren for a reported $40 to $44.5 million around 2006 to 2007, demolished the existing mansion, and moved into the rebuilt estate in 2011.
• The compound spans roughly 9 to 12 acres and includes a private practice course of about 3.5 acres with four greens, plus a 100-foot pool.
• Estimates of the estate's value range from about $54 million to more than $80 million, all media and agent estimates rather than a recorded sale.

Where does Tiger Woods live today?

Tiger Woods lives on Jupiter Island, a town in Martin County that sits just north of Palm Beach County. The island is a narrow strip of land running between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, and his estate reportedly reaches across it from water to water. Reporting through 2026 describes Jupiter Island as his primary residence, where he has lived since 2011.

One point of confusion is worth clearing up. Jupiter Island is not the same place as the town of Jupiter. Jupiter sits on the mainland in Palm Beach County and is where Michael Jordan lives, while Jupiter Island is a separate, smaller, and even more exclusive town in Martin County. You can see current listings for the island on our Jupiter Island homes for sale page, and read about Jordan's side of the county in our guide to where Michael Jordan lives.

Inside the Jupiter Island compound

Woods and Elin Nordegren bought the property together for a reported $40 to $44.5 million, with sources differing on the exact figure and on whether the deal closed in 2006 or 2007. The parcel already held a beachfront mansion of more than 9,000 square feet, which Woods demolished around 2010 to build the compound that stands today. He moved in during 2011, after the couple's 2010 divorce.

The size of the finished estate is genuinely hard to pin down, and honest reporting reflects that. One well-sourced account describes roughly 9,700 square feet split between a 3,300-square-foot living quarters and a 6,400-square-foot multipurpose building. Other outlets put the total closer to 26,000 square feet, with a 12,000-square-foot main home joined to a 14,000-square-foot activity building by a glass-covered walkway. Both figures appear in credible coverage, so we present them as a range rather than pick one. The living quarters are reported to hold around four bedroom suites.

Value estimates are just as wide. The most commonly cited figure is about $54 million, while some more recent coverage describes a $60 million estate and at least one real-estate blog puts it above $80 million. None of these are transacted sale prices, so read them as informed guesses.

The private practice course that makes it famous

The single most talked-about feature is the practice facility. Woods used his own design firm, TGR Design, to build a roughly 3.5-acre practice course with four greens, a wedge and short-game area, real bunkering, and tournament-conditioned turf. The idea was to recreate the look and playability of holes he has faced around the world so he could train at home, in private, on demand.

The rest of the compound is built for both training and recovery. Reporting describes a 100-foot swimming and lap pool alongside a separate 60-foot diving pool, a gym, a spa, oxygen therapy rooms, a combined basketball and tennis court, a private cinema, a game room, wine storage, and an elevator. On the waterfront side there is a boathouse with two docks and a guesthouse. If a private golf lifestyle is what draws you to the area, our golf and country club homes hub is a good place to start a more realistic search.

Jupiter Island: one of America's wealthiest zip codes

Woods chose one of the most rarefied addresses in the country. Back in 1999, Worth magazine ranked Jupiter Island number one in the nation for highest median home sale price, and it still turns up regularly on lists of Florida's wealthiest zip codes. The town is tiny, with roughly 800 residents as of the 2020 census, which is part of the appeal for people who prize privacy above almost everything.

The neighbor list has long been remarkable. Public reporting has placed Celine Dion, Alan Jackson, Gary Player, Nick Price, Venus Williams, and Nick Saban on the island at various times, along with Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and, historically, President George H. W. Bush. Greg Norman owned an estate there for years before a reported 2022 sale.

Tiger's ventures just off the island

Woods has also invested in the surrounding area. He opened The Woods Jupiter, a restaurant and sports bar, at Harbourside Place in the town of Jupiter, a few miles from his island compound, with a reported investment of around $8 million. His golf life is anchored nearby too, with reporting tying him to the Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound as his home club. If you like the idea of the mainland side of this market, our Hobe Sound homes for sale page covers the town next door.

What homes cost on and around Jupiter Island

Jupiter Island itself is an ultra-luxury market, with most homes trading in the multi-millions and waterfront estates reaching far higher. That puts it out of reach for most buyers, but the towns around it are a different story. Hobe Sound, Stuart, and the mainland side of Jupiter offer a much broader spread of prices, from condos and townhomes to single-family homes on the water.

Golf at home versus golf in a club

A private practice facility on a residential property sounds like a purely financial question. It is mostly a land and permitting question, and the answers are useful to anyone considering a smaller version.

The constraints come in order. Land first, since even a short game facility needs meaningful acreage once you allow for safety distances and access. Then zoning, since what you may build on a residential parcel is set by the local jurisdiction and by any applicable agricultural or estate classification. Then water, because irrigation on that scale requires a source and frequently a permit for withdrawal.

Then the ongoing part, which is the one people underestimate. Maintained turf of that quality is a continuous operation with equipment, chemicals, labour and a schedule. It is a staffed responsibility rather than a weekend project.

And in almost any community with an association, it is simply not permitted. Which is the practical reason this is an estate parcel phenomenon rather than a suburban one.

The realistic version, and where it exists

A short game area, a putting green or a hitting bay is achievable on a much smaller property, and there are places in our counties where it is straightforward.

What you need is acreage without an association that prohibits it, which points at the agricultural and estate areas rather than at platted subdivisions: the western Palm Beach County corridor, the equestrian areas, Martin County, and the more rural parts of the Treasure Coast.

Three checks before you buy for this purpose. Confirm the zoning permits what you intend, in writing from the jurisdiction rather than from a listing. Read any association or deed restrictions in full, since even large lot communities frequently restrict outbuildings, lighting and landscape changes. And establish the water source and whether irrigation at your intended scale needs a permit.

Doing that before purchase costs an afternoon. Doing it afterwards can mean owning land you cannot use as planned.

The club route, and what it actually costs

For most people the practical answer is a club community, and the range within our own counties is much wider than the coverage suggests.

Current medians in Palm Beach County golf communities: Hunters Run around $144,394 at roughly $101 per square foot, PGA National about $620,000 at roughly $368, Boca West Country Club about $825,000 at roughly $543, Jonathans Landing about $929,000 at roughly $544, Mirasol about $2,499,000, BallenIsles about $2,699,000, Admirals Cove about $7.2 million and the Bears Club about $21.5 million.

Roughly a hundred and fifty times, one county, one type of community. Golf course living is not a price point, it is a category with an enormous internal range.

What to establish before buying into a club

The purchase price is the smaller half of the decision in a club community, and the rest of it is in documents.

Ask whether membership is mandatory or optional, and what it costs, since a mandatory membership is effectively part of your housing cost. Ask whether there is an initiation contribution and whether any part of it is refundable, which varies considerably between clubs and matters a great deal at resale.

Then look at the club as a business. What its capital position is, what major projects are planned, how assessments have been levied historically, and whether the membership is growing or shrinking. An ageing club with a shrinking membership and deferred capital work passes those costs to whoever owns there.

Absorption is worth checking too. Boca West Country Club currently averages about 63 days and BallenIsles about 43, while the very top of the market runs far slower, with the Bears Club near 313. If liquidity matters to you, that is a genuine difference between clubs rather than a detail.

More common questions

Can I build a practice area on a normal lot?

Rarely. Acreage, zoning, irrigation and association rules all constrain it, which is why it is an estate parcel feature.

Where in our area is it possible at all?

The agricultural and estate areas: western Palm Beach County, the equestrian corridors, Martin County and rural Treasure Coast parcels. Verify zoning in writing first.

What is the biggest cost in a club community?

Frequently the membership rather than the house. Establish whether it is mandatory, what it costs and what is refundable before you commit.
