It seems that the Tiger Woods story just won’t go away. The East End real estate world is still abuzz with the news that Woods may or may not have purchased a $65 million home on Gin Lane in Southampton.
On Monday, RealLI reported that the sale of the home, listed with Beate Moore of Sotheby’s International Realty, had closed last week. On Tuesday, a New York Post story declared that Woods was the buyer of the 6-acre property.
Both Moore and representatives for the golfer steadfastly denied the Post’s claim, yet the paper says that it stands by the story.
And now this from the Long Island Business News: David Winzelberg reports that his sources say that Woods is indeed the buyer, having paid full price for the mansion. (We had heard the closing price was closer to $62.5 million). Winzelberg says that other bidders for the home may have included designer Ralph Lauren and money manager Eddie Lampert.
As Winzelberg says, stay tuned.
