Yacht Spectacle: Tiger Woods’ $20m ‘Privacy’ Causes a Stir in Marina Before US Open

Tiger Woods doesn’t need a hotel while he chases his fourth U.S. Open title – he brought his own $20 million pad.

The star golfer docked his 155ft yacht Privacy at the Gurney’s Montauk Yacht Club marina on Wednesday in the Hamptons ahead of the tournament in June 14.

Privacy dwarfed the dozens of small vessels moored in the sleepy harbor about an hour’s drive from Shinnecock Hills where the Open is held.

One local made light of the stir his arrival caused by comparing the giant cruiser to his tiny dinghy Whippersnapper tied up on the same jetty in Gurney’s Montauk Yacht Club marina on Wednesday

‘Tiger Woods pulled up and asked to trade boats. I respectfully declined,’ Grant Monahan joked on Instagram on Wednesday.

Woods is believed to be staying on his yacht throughout the tournament, but apparently thought Montauk was a little far from the course.

He moved it to Sag Harbour Yacht Club marina on Thursday, half an hour closer to the course, where there were a few yachts a little closer to his size, though still far smaller.

He bought Privacy in 2004 when he married then-wife Elin Nordegren and they spent their wedding night and honeymoon on board

The luxury vessel has a crew of nine and costs $2 million a year to run, making it worth getting every use possible out of.

The boat has 6,500sqft of space taken up in part by six staterooms, room for 21 people to stay, plus a theater, gym, a full bar and an eight-person hot tub.

The dark wood is a theme throughout the yacht’s furnishings along with walls covered in white silk and upholstered leather furniture.

Woods tried to sell the yacht, which has entertained friends including Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Michael Jordan, in 2011 but couldn’t find a buyer.
