Jupiter Island golfer Tiger Woods‘ secret divorce settlement may be so expensive that he had to mortgage his home to pay for it!

Official records that just popped up in Martin County hint that Woods will have to pay ex-wife Elin Nordegren $54 million by January 2016 — or risk losing the house he spent five years building.

How do I know?

The philandering golf-club swinger took out a $54 million-mortgage last Wednesday, two days after his quickie divorce was finalized in Panama City Aug. 23.

And the mortgage holder, according to the records, is a shadowy company with no apparent capital, JRD Florida Ventures LLC. The corporation’s registered agent is none other than one of his former wife’s six divorce lawyers, Dennis Belcher.

Woods, the mortgage shows, used the Jupiter Island property, Sand Turtle, to secure the loan — which means that Nordegren could end up with that Motel 6-style crib if he doesn’t pay up. The document was actually notarized by Tom Sasser, Woods’ West Palm Beach-based divorce attorney.

Back to the future: Jennifer Ross returns to WRMF

Ross, and George

Ross, and George

Surprise, surprise!

Radio personality Jennifer Ross, who was canned a year ago from WRMF-97.9 FM’s morning show and replaced by younger, cheaper talent, is returning to the station — but not to the airwaves.

Ross, 52, is scheduled to take over as director of community affairs next week, said station boss Elizabeth Hamma. The job’s description is unclear. Hamma declined to comment further.

In an email to Page2Live, Ross wrote:  “I’m thrilled about the opportunity.  As you know, I’ve always been committed to the community, as has WRMF, so this is the perfect opportunity for me.  I’m looking forward to continuing my relationship with the WRMF team and great things for the future.”

A station insider who asked not to be identified said the move makes sense for both WRMF and the woman who ruled local morning radio for 25 years.

Two months before the Miami Heat and its all-star trio — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — take on the National Basketball Association, scalpers report ticket prices for Heat games home and away are burning up.

A Fort Lauderdale ticket broker tells Page2Live that some courtside seats for the Heat’s Oct. 29 home-opener against the Orlando Magic are selling for $7,500-a-piece!

“And if the Heat win their first 10-12 games, it’s going to go past $10,000,” said Todd Chitoff of ticketplayground.com.

Nosebleed ducats with face values around 50 bucks are going for an average of about $450 at the Boston Celtics, where the retooled Heat open the season Oct. 26, and at American Airlines Arena for the Orlando home opener.

Ex-NFL tackle Lional Dalton accused of tackling the wife

Former National Football League journeyman Lional Dalton spent today in a West Palm Beach jail after surrendering to Palm Beach County authorities on charges of domestic violence.

The 350-pound defensive tackle, who made Boca Raton his home when he retired in 2006 after playing for the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans, was scheduled to post his $2,000-bail today.

The wife, 5-foot Kimberly Dalton, also was arrested last week in connection with the same incident, which occurred at their home in March.

According to court records, the Daltons have been going at it for more than a year. He filed for divorce earlier this year.

Each has asked courts to grant several domestic violence injunctions against the other. Yet, they still share a $1 million-house at the fancy Fox Hill Estates, even if a judge ordered Lional to live in the pool house. He is only allowed in the main house, where Kimberly lives, to prepare food and attend to personal needs.

Still, they run into each other every so often — and that’s not good.

EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods shows no emotion in quickie divorce

Quickie divorce: Woods and Nordegren

Quickie divorce: Woods and Nordegren

Fifteen minutes!

That’s what could save you 15 percent or more on your car insurance, if you believe Geico.

That’s also how long it took embattled golfer Tiger Woods to get divorced today in Panama City!

“They arrived at about 1 p.m.,” said Kim Gibson, judicial assistant to Judge Judy Pittman Biebel. The judge pronounced Woods and the mother of his two children, Elin Nordegren, free from their marital ties.

“By 1:15 p.m., they were gone. They were in and out.”

So, how did something that takes years for some couples take just 900 seconds flat for the Woods?

“They were all in agreement on everything,” Gibson said. “They were prepared. We’d do the same thing for anyone else who’s prepared.”

Cost-conscious: Great White sighting at Costco

Norman

Norman

Golf legend Greg Norman has become cost-conscious since he agreed to pay his first ex-wife $100 million-plus in their pre-Chris Evert divorce.

A Page2Live spywitness ran into the Great White Shark at the Northlake Boulevard Costco yesterday in Lake Park.

Yep, Costco — the warehouse heaven for bargain hunters located just a few miles from Norman’s $20 million-home on Jupiter Island!

“Greg was quietly waiting in the checkout line like everyone,” the spy said. “He had a t-shirt on that had that shark logo but no one talked to him.”

In his shopping-cart: juice boxes for the kids of his new galpal, Kirsten Kutner; and six bottles of $40-Far Niente Chardonnay.

I can only surmise that Costco ran out of the Greg Norman Estates beverage that’s made him more money than golf!

Now, that’s more like the Sammy Sosa we know! The last time we saw the retired baseball slugger in these parts, last fall, he ignited controversy when he showed up at a party with his face obviously whitened a la Michael Jackson. Above is Slammin’ Sammy lunching solo at the terrace of Carpaccio in Bal Harbour over the weekend. Looks much more like his old, happy self!

For good measure, here is how he appeared in November:

Florida State grad Jenn Sterger: “Creepy” Brett Favre sexted photos of his manhood!

Real mature, pro football’s oldest superstar!

Gray-haired NFL quarterback Brett Favre, 40, liked to text-message pictures of his genitals to sexy Florida State grad and Playboy model Jenn Sterger, the host of The Daily Line on cable’s Versus.

Sterger, who roamed the sidelines of the New York Jets as a reporter when Favre played there in 2008, let the kitty out of the bag during interviews with the website Deadspin.

No word yet from Favre, who’s been busy stringing the Minnesota Vikings along on whether he’s coming back to play.

A watch that Favre is known to wear at press conferences is on his wrist in one photo, and he’s nude from the waist down but wears Crocs in another, Sterger said. Sterger was so shocked when she uploaded the attachments that she threw the phone across the room.

Tennis sex pot Anna Kournikova’s mom, Alla, pleads guilty to child neglect

Palm Beacher Alla Kournikova, the mother of Russian tennis hottie and commercial pitchwoman Anna Kournikova, quietly pleaded guilty to felony child neglect in a court in West Palm Beach.

Alla Kournikova, 47, left her 5-year-old son Allan, Anna’s half brother, home alone with a cellphone in January as she ran errands on Worth Avenue for about an hour.

Allan either fell or jumped out a window on the second floor of the $2.2 million-house on Seabreeze. He was found, dirty and bloody, wandering the street. He suffered minor injuries.

Alla Kournikova was sentenced to three years probation, according to records, and 100 hours of community service. Other conditions of her probation include random drug testing and a substance abuse evaluation.

The court withheld adjudication, which technically means she wasn’t convicted of a crime.

The plea helps her avoid a public trial that would have included K-Swiss pusher Anna Kournikova, and possibly jail time.

Alla, meanwhile, went back to her tennis-playing socialite cougar (her boyfriend is 25) life flawlessly.

She packed her bags and took Allan to Pinehurst, N.C., where the little one is competing in the US Kids Golf World Championship today through Sunday. Allan will be playing against 1,300 other children from around the world in golf’s equivalent to the Little League World Series.
