May 10, 2008--Currently there are about two dozen golfers that play on the LPGA Tour and PGA Tour who either live in Las Vegas or have strong ties to Las Vegas golf courses . That number grows when you count those beating around the mini tours. Now that list could increase by at least one more as Las Vegas Review-Journal celebrity reporter NORM! reports that Tiger Woods is looking at a home in The Ridges in Las Vegas, a posh area in Summerlin, an area that  features several Las Vegas golf courses. The home is said to the jewel of this year's Parade of Homes and measures more than 17,000 square feet. Tiger has a long history with Las Vegas so it would be no surprise if he had an official home here. "I've always loved Las Vegas and I've always felt good vibes there," Woods told VegasGolfer Magazine writer Roger Graves recently. "I have some great memories of Vegas--on and off the golf course. A lot of people that I respect and who have helped my career live in Las Vegas, so it's always nice to go back. I have some very strong ties to Vegas."
