A-Rod, Shark, Tiger, King of Swing and More… See Homes of Sports Stars

We can’t resist. We have sports fever, so we’re kicking off April with a lineup of sports star homes. Baseball’s 2010 Opening Day began with a bang, featuring a matchup between one of the game’s most intense rivalries: the NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

But, that TV viewership will be nothing compared to this week’s Masters tournament, which features the return of Tiger Woods, who fell from grace over some admitted “transgressions.” It all started last Thanksgiving during Tiger’s early morning car crash into his neighbor’s tree.

Tiger Woods (Professional golfer)

Tiger Woods has been the dominant men’s golfer in the past decade, but those accolades have been replaced by headlines of Tiger’s admitted “transgressions.” This is Tiger’s Isleworth, FL home where his early morning drive quickly ended in a car accident on his next-door neighbor’s property when his SUV ran over a fire hydrant and into a tree.
