John Michael Spaun, statements

The exploit brought him $ 1,548,000 (out of a total prize pool of 8,600,000), allowing him to climb from 66th to 10th position in the FedEx Cup and to approach the Top 100 in the world ranking (from 242 / o 103 / o). But above all, for the first time in his career, thanks to the feat in Texas, the Los Angeles golfer will be able to play The Masters from 7 to 10 April in Augusta. The American (in the lead after the "moving day" along with three other players), closed the fourth and final round with a partial of 69 (-3) strokes after a disastrous start with a double bogey (at 1), the only flaw in one round with five birdies.

Good tournament for Zach Johnson (280, -8) - who won the Texas Open in 2008 and 2009 - and Henrik Stenson (281, -7). The captains of the USA and Europe teams at the Ryder Cup 2023 in Rome closed the tournament at 13 / o and 18 / o respectively. While he ranked 35 / o with 283 (-5), the Texan Jordan Spieth, champion of the Texas Open in 2021.

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.
