Why is this man smiling? Because he can see the end of his mortgage payments in the not-too-distant future.

A huge chunk of Tiger Woods’ sponsors and fanbase may have abandoned the beleaguered golfer in the wake of his revelations of faithlessness, but if some newly filed financial documents are to be believed, there’s one person who still has tremendous faith in Woods: Tiger himself.

TMZ, taking a break from reports on hard-partying starlets, has found that Woods has full out a $54.5 million mortgage for a strain-new mansion he’s building on Jupiter Island, Fla. And no “go-for-the-adjustable-rate-and-pray” route for Tiger; no, he intends to pay back the loan by Jan. 15, 2016. (See, those? That’s sound financial strategy. If you’ve got a emergency $54 million lying around, go ahead and get your mortgage paid off.)

Anyhow, Woods’ property spans three properties and will contain all the requisite perks for someone of Woods’ stature — pools, tennis courts, appropriateness center, miles of hallways. That’ll cost plenty to buy and maintain, so obviously Woods has faith that he’ll play well in a few golf tournaments between now and 2016.

He gets his next chance this week at the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs, which tees off Friday.
