Tiger Woods returned to play the Masters in Augusta 508 days after the last time and the US press today dedicated pages and pages to the champion who, after his car accident a year ago, seemed forced to retire. According to the New York Times, the Californian immediately showed "flashes of grandeur and some signs of fatigue", showing "a rusty appearance, shy at the start of the race and smiling at the end of the first lap. And even if at times he seemed out of practice, he faced the numerous ups and downs of the Augusta National with only a few grimaces. The damage to his right leg, rebuilt with plates and screws, was more evident in his hesitation to squat behind his golf ball, as he once did to read putts close to ground level".
Tiger Woods, reactionsAccording to the Washington Post, this year there are two Masters, "one involving Tiger Woods and then one involving the other 89 players in the race". So, for the Wall Street Journal, that of the Californian was a "stunning return, within an electric atmosphere" like that of the Augusta National. For USA Today, Tiger in Georgia re-tasted "that familiar roar", with Woods "immediately sending a warning to his opponents". An all-round celebration, therefore, for Woods who has already won 5 times in Augusta, the first 25 years ago (it was 1997), the last in 2019. And this year, 14 months after the serious car accident in Los Angeles, which seriously jeopardized his career, he returned to playing the coveted Major immediately demonstrating his intentions.
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.
