Update on Tiger Woods and marriage to wife Elin Nordegren: Nothing says I am sorry for cheating on you with have the escort and club girls in the world like a new boat. Apparently, for the golf pro Privacy is out and Solitude is in -- at least when it comes to romance and boating (and sport diving) recreation. Hollywood gossip about celebrity couple drama and romance.

TIGER WOODS BUYS NEW DIVE BOAT NAMED SOLITUDE

People Magazine is reporting that, "The future of Tiger Woods's marriage and career may be in question, but the embattled golf star will have something to look forward to in the coming weeks: A new, custom-designed sporting boat christened Solitude."

According to the credible celebrity gossip magazine's sources, the boat name itself indicates the mindset of the fallen role model.

They write,

Aptly named for the embattled athlete who hasn't been seen since fighting with wife Elin Nordegren on Thanksgiving night, the 61-foot boat may also serve as a peace offering. "Solitude is a dive boat and was designed for Elin, who loves the sport," a source tells PEOPLE.

BOATING AND ROMANCE GO HAND IN HAND FOR TIGER WOODS AND WIFE ELIN

So why buy a new boat as a romantic gesture, you might ask?

Nordegren and Woods did a lot of diving in the early years of their marriage, and he had told friends he might buy a dive boat. "Tiger and Elin have continued diving when they are out for relaxation," says a source. "And they talked about having a boat that would be mainly for this purpose."

Two years in the works and built at a cost of $2 to $3 million, the boat is much smaller than his 150-foot yacht Privacy and is currently docked at the Pirate's Cove Resort & Marina less than 10 minutes from his new Jupiter Island estate-in-progress.

WILL TIGER WOODS GIVE THE BOAT AS A VALENTINES GIFT TO ELIN?

People notes, "Neither the builder nor the dock would confirm that the Solitude was intended for Woods."

That means that although the boat may have been built for Elin, whether or not Tiger will use it as a gift for Valentines day for his wife and children or as a peace offering is his call.

"We are making Solitude for a corporation, and we never know who the client is," a source at Garlington Landeweer Marine tells PEOPLE. "It is docked around here and will be delivered to the client soon. It has not been used yet."

To find out if he does give it to Elin will mean finding the boat, and seeing if Elin ever shows her face on board.

The Pirate's Cove dockmaster says, "I am not aware if we have Tiger's boat here. They don't tell me who owns these kinds of luxury yachts."

People says a source acknowledges that Woods has been secretive about his new boat, perhaps hiding the gift from his beautiful bride.

"He has had it covered up for quite awhile," the source told People magazine. "But now it is out in the open and soon he [and his wife] can actually enjoy it."
