In the United Arab Emirates, Francesco Laporta collapses on the "moving day" of the Ras Al Khaimah Classic golf course and slips from second to 37th place thanks to a partial of 74 (+2) out of a total of 209 (66 69 74, -7 ) shots. In the DP World Tour tournament, New Zealander Ryan Fox stretched to the top of the standings and, with a score of 197 (63 69 65, -19), now boasts a six-shot advantage over a quartet of pursuers - all second with 203 (-13) - composed of the Polish Adrian Meronk, the Scotsman Scott Jamieson and the Spaniards Adri Arnaus and Pablo Larrazabal.

Ryan Fox, Ras Al Khaimah Classic

And if Fox - 35 years old from Auckland - has mortgaged his second career title on the circuit (the first came in 2019 in Australia), Laporta has thrown away the good things built in the first two laps. And if in the first nine holes of the third round he made two birdies, in the second he tripped first in a double bogey (followed by a birdie) and then closed his performance with three bogeys in the last four. I also step back for Edoardo Molinari from Turin, 59 / o with 211 (-5), and for Nino Bertasio from Brescia, 68 / o with 212 (-4).

He is among the most successful sportsmen ever, as well as one of the richest in the world. When it comes to firsts Tiger Woods is always present: 15 majors won, 110 professional tournaments, the most successful golfer in the history of this sport. Statistics that explain why he managed to stay at the top of the world ranking for 683 weeks (of which 281 consecutive) and above all because in 2014 he became the first sportsman in the world to have broken the billion dollar barrier. Astronomical figure that also justifies the fact that Tiger Woods can afford a yacht like the Privacy, a real fairytale boat. And obviously we are talking about something that has cost a lot.

If you imagine a luxury yacht and some comfort on board, then Privacy has it. 48 meters long, with a total area of ​​600 square meters, this yacht was purchased by the golfer in 2004. Equipped with five cabins capable of accommodating a total of ten people, she also boasts four quarters for nine crew members. Tiger Woods usually calls it "my dinghy" even if everything looks like a dinghy: with a cruising speed of 18 knots, he also has a gym on board where the golfer keeps training. Woods, in fact, prefers to stay on this yacht during the tournaments held in New York.

With cherry wood interiors, Privacy also features an elevator for three people, a huge Jacuzzi, large enough to accommodate eight people, and the inevitable cinema room and corner bar. The extra something for this mega yacht is provided by the area that Tiger Woods wanted to be dedicated to scuba diving: this also explains the presence of a decompression chamber (inflatable) and an area dedicated to filling oxygen cylinders. The luxuries are also completed by three jet skis and two scooters for short shore excursions. Obviously, all of this has a price: Privacy cost 17 million euros and its annual maintenance amounts to 1.7 million euros.
