"I wish I could indicate a date when I will return to play, but I don't. Because I don't know her and the road ahead is still long. At my age she doesn't heal and she recovers quickly, which is frustrating. I'm not able to play yet but I'm working on it".
Tiger Woods, statementsTiger Woods breaks the silence and, on the eve of the Genesis Invitational, the PGA Tour tournament (of which he is an ambassador), returns to talk about his physical condition. One year after the serious car accident in which he was involved and after the operation on his right leg, the Californian dreams of returning to the green alongside the champions of the discipline. But to those who ask him if his return will take place at The Masters or the Open Championship, he reiterates: "I will not return to play full time. I will be able to play an event here and there, but the reality is this now".
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.
