Did Tiger Woods Pay $65 Million in the Hamptons?
At the start of the month, the NY Post's legendary real estate columnist Braden Keil reported on a $65 million sale of an estate in the Hamptons. Now he has said that the exclusive six-acre estate on the enviable Gin Lane has been purchased by Tiger Woods and his wife Elin. The property is anchored by a 3,200-square-foot Colonial Revival main residence, a 7,500-square-foot guesthouse and a four-car garage with staff quarters. We covered the property as an estate of the day in January. But did Tiger really buy this home? The agent for the property, Beate Moore of Sotheby's International Realty tells Newsday's Laura Mann that Tiger did not buy the property and Radar says they have talked to Tiger Woods's reps who also confirm that Tiger has not bought this property. It's no longer listed so someone did buy, we'll just have to wait for property records to solve this mystery.

I wouldn't blame Tiger for NOT buying the house. The entire neighborhood looks pretty rundown from the aerial shots. Just look at all of that sand and dirt that borders most of the properties......

It isn't uncommon for the realtor and PR agent to deny purchase with hopes the LLC listed buy will throw the media and fans off.
Look at actor Nicolas Cage purchasing the Gray Craig manor mouse in Middletown, RI for $15.7M in July 2007. The realtor still won't disclose this directly either will his agent but ironically the realtor cites a news article on their website from the Newport Daily News of the sale.

Anybody else find it odd that the main house is less than half the size of the guesthouse?
