The Palm Beach Post reports that golfer Tiger Woods has put his 155-ft yacht “Privacy” up for sale. Tiger is reported to be asking $25 million for the super-yacht, which he originally purchased as a wedding gift for his wife Elin Nordegren. He is said to have offered “Privacy” to Elin as part of her $100 million divorce settlement package, but she refused to take on the $2 million annual maintenance costs. In happier days, Tiger and Elin spent many weeks cruising with a full-time crew of 13.

Tiger is not giving up the boating life altogether. He recently purchased “Solitude,” a 62-foot diving boat that he plans to use with this children. Read more about the sale of “Privacy” in the Palm Beach Post.
