Tiger to buy Jupiter Island compound

Golf superstar Tiger Woods, the top-earning athlete in America, has agreed to pay “in the neighborhood” of $40 million for a 10-acre oceanfront compound on Jupiter Island, according to real estate agents familiar with the deal.

More astounding than the price, though, is that Woods, who earned $89.4 million in 2004 in endorsements and tournament winnings, intends to tear down the 13-year-old main house in the 400 block of South Beach Road, real estate agents say.
