Danish designers Anders Lynge and Soren Bak Hansen continue their series of Garia Golf cars by launching their latest Garia Edition Soleil de Minuit.

Designed exclusively for the luxury show Top Marques Monaco 2010, The Garia Soleil de Minuit is the most expensive golf car ever made by a manufacturer.

These vehicles are manufactured at Valmet in Finland, the same factory as the Porsche Cayman and the Porsche Boxster.

The Core has created the exclusive limited edition pack for Ballantine’s Championship Blend 2010: a priceless Scotch whisky blended specially for the 50th anniversary of the first Ballantine’s golf tournament.

Only 20 of the ultra-luxe packs – which feature 24-Carat gold, real leather and solid mahogany – exist. The packs are currently on display around the world.

One was given to the tournament’s first Champion; another will be presented to the winner of this year’s Championship, which takes place in Korea this April.

Inspired by an antique leather golf caddy, the presentation box is handmade from solid mahogany with an embossed leather frontispiece.

The American tycoon Donald Trump today revealed his masterplan for “the greatest golf course in the world” to be built on a windswept stretch of Scottish coastline.

The controversial proposals — first mooted more than three years ago — also include a new village, complete with shops, pubs and cafes.

Trump International Scotland received outline planning permission for the £1billion development from the Scottish government in December 2008.

Enough about Tiger Woods‘ love life… Let see his yacht. Tiger Woods owns a 155 ft. power yacht that goes by the name “Privacy”.

The yacht was purchased in 2004 from Christensen Shipyards, and is a 155 Trideck Motor Yacht with a reported cost to build of $20 million.

On deck is a large bar, stainless steel BBQ and an 8 person jacuzzi. A $150,000 station was added to fill scuba tanks with a blend of helium, nitrogen and oxygen.

China’s southern Hainan island is playing up its tropical climate in a major plan to position itself as a “golf island”, the capital of the sport in China.

Golf courses have sprouted like mushrooms across the country as the sport catches on, but no place has hitched its wagon to the sport’s boom quite like Hainan, which resembles an oval golf green on a map of the South China Sea.

A decade ago, there were no golf courses here; today there are more than 20 and long-term goals include an eventual 100 courses.

Forbes magazine has announced that Tiger Woods is the first athlete to surpass $1 billion in earnings and endorsement money.

The magazine estimates that golf’s top-ranked player crested the plateau when he earned $10 million for winning the FedEx Cup on Sunday.

Woods has been the world’s highest-paid athlete since 2002 when he surpassed Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher.
