Golfer Greg Norman has put his Jupiter Island home on the market again, at the price he couldn’t sell it for in 2008.

Listed for $65 million the ocean-to-Intracoastal property, called Tranquility, is the seventh most expensive house currently on the market in the United States. The first is a $100 million abode in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.

So, what does one get for $65 million?

According to the listing, the nine-bed, 11-bath main house is one of six buildings on the eight-acre property. There’s also a coach house, carriage house and guest house on the ocean. There’s garage space for a total 17 cars, a 50-foot pool, a gym, and docking for a mega-yacht.

The catch: The Martin County property taxes alone will set you back $130,000!

Newly single, Jupiter Island links Leviathan Greg Norman turns 55 today! How do they say Happy Birthday in Australian?

A little more than a month after golfer Greg Norman and former tennis star Chris Evert made their divorce official, Norman has re-emerged locally after traveling the world in search of business deals.

He’s been to China and Dubai and recently returned to this area — he has homes in Jupiter Island and Boca Raton.

Obviously, he has yet to find a replacement for Evert. He mostly appears in eateries with dudes.

Norman had lunch Friday at Pizza Al Fresco, a courtyard Italian joint in Palm Beach, with an unidentified elderly gentleman. And dinner at Dolce De Palma in West Palm Beach with, from right to left on the picture above: Anthony De Palma, owner; billionaire entrepreneur Nelson Peltz (in blue sweatshirt, see his breathtaking home here); Norman; and home builder Michael McCloskey.

Norman seems to tell Evert "You're outtahere!" in September at the US Open tennis championship

Links Leviathan Greg Norman and tennis legend Chris Evert, who spectacularly broke up their respective longtime families in order to get hitched, were secretly divorced Dec. 8 in Key West.

They were six months short of their second anniversary!

It was the former world No. 1 female tennis player’s third attempt at holy matrimony. It was the golfer’s second.

Taking advantage of the attention paid by the press to the firestorm surrounding the Tiger Woods accident and sex scandal, the two worked out a quickie settlement behind closed doors.

Then, on the morning of Dec. 8, I’m told by a source in the Florida Keys with access to flight information, the Great White Shark flew to picturesque Key West with his divorce lawyer, Jeff Fisher. Fisher, who also handled Aussie Norman’s divorce from his wife of 25 years, Laura Andrassy, shepherded the paperwork through the courthouse within a couple hours.

Evert, 55, was not present, according to the source. Norman, 54, officially was the complainant.

Tiger Woods with wife Elin Nordegren

With Tiger Woods‘ wife, Elin Nordegren, moving out with their two ninos today, what’s next for golf’s first family?

A half-dozen local high-profile divorce lawyers, who’ve made a living handling the splits of top pro athletes, report that none of them has heard from either Woods or Nordegren.

Yet.

But with the list of Woods’ alleged paramours growing by the day — porn star Holly Sampson may also have been a member of Woods’ harem — so does the embarrassment for Nordegren.

“If there were such a thing as a divorce, I’m not sure they’d pick Orlando lawyers,” said Martin Haines, who recently worked for Australian golfer Greg Norman. Norman’s divorce from his longtime wife, Laura Andrassy, cost more than $100 million.

“I think they’ll reach out to lawyers in South Florida. But you can expect this divorce, if there is one, will be negotiated and settled privately. It’s obviously best for Tiger Woods to keep this under lock and key.”

Haines cited the fourth divorce of Palm Beach radio talker Rush Limbaugh, from former fan and aerobics instructor Marta. The former lovebirds took care of everything behind closed doors in 2004. Then Limbaugh flew to Key West to file in the morning and have a star-struck judge sign off by the end of business that day. Floridians can file in any county, not just where they are homesteaded. How much Limbaugh doled out is unclear, but Marta quickly bought $15 million worth of homes between Miami and Jupiter Island.

Joel Weissman, who handled many society divorces, said a lawyer is not what Woods and wife currently need.

“They need a good marriage counselor,” Weissman said. “I assume they have a prenup agreement, so they should relax and go to a counselor first. Then they can seek legal help if they don’t resolve anything.”
