The 14-times Major winner Tiger Woods, who withdrawn and got injured during his game at Torrey Pines, is reportedly facing huge divorce settlement payments.
According to GossipExtra, the former world golfer needs to settle his divorce payment of $54.5 million to his ex-wife Elin Nordegren by Jan. 15, 2016. Otherwise, he could lose his Jupiter Island home to her.
It was added in the said report that when he and Nordegren divorced in 2010, Woods agreed to pay her an estimated $110 million over six years.
His six years are up in 2016, and it was reported that Woods has $54.5 million balance of the deal. Additionally, Nordegren created a holding company named JRD Ventures, which holds the mortgage on the house.
However, the reports do not indicate that Woods can not be able to pay. Still, his estimated net worth is currently sits at around $600, including his $100 million-plus on the PGA Tour, and at least $1 billion in endorsements.
But lately, Tiger Woods has seen to hit bad shots, including his last game in withdrawal in his last nine tournaments at Torrey Pines, where was taken straight from the course to the car park where he said that his glutes are shutting off, and he had failed to get his gluteus maximus muscles warm.
After the incident, Woods made a statement in his website that he is already feeling better, and that his latest injury is not related to his previous surgery. "This latest injury is not related to my previous surgery. I am having daily physical therapy and I am feeling better every day."
He also plans to play again soon. "Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time with the people that are important to me. My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like I've said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I'm ready, I'll be back. Next week I will practice at Medalist and at home getting ready for the rest of the year. I am committed to getting back to the pinnacle of my game. I'd like to play The Honda Classic -- it's a tournament in my hometown and it's important to me -- but I won't be there unless my game is tournament-ready. That's not fair to anyone. I do, however, expect to be playing again very soon," Tiger Woods said.
With Tiger Woods' lack of wins lately and a career low last year, $54.5 million may not be that easy to find.
