Nearly 10 years before purchasing the Jupiter Island estate, Tiger Woods bought his first house. In 1996, Woods purchased a home in the exclusive Isleworth community in Windermere, Fla., a suburb of Orlando.

Woods lived there alone until his relationship with Elin Nordegren. The two married in 2004, and Woods and Nordegren lived in the Isleworth house through the end of their marriage in 2010. At the time of this writing, the disposition of that house in the divorce settlement is not certain, but it is believed that Woods will retain ownership of the house.

Tiger Woods' Isleworth house is across the street from the driving range at Isleworth Country Club, and backs up to a waterway where, in the photo above, Woods has a couple personal watercraft docked. A swimming pool is visible in the backyard.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, in 2009 Tiger Woods' Isleworth house in Windermere had a value of $2.4 million.

The Isleworth house became big news late in 2009 when it was the location of Woods' car accident. Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree on neighbors' property.

Also note that there are photos out there on the Web purporting to be of Tiger Woods' "beachfront house"; these images show interior shots, including photos looking out large windows onto sand and surf. These photos are not of any Tiger Woods house, but of a Hawaiian vacation home that has no connection to Woods (see snopes.com).
