Jordan reportedly wanted to maintain a small membership of less than 100 at his new club, which opened last fall. Located in Hobe Sound, it’s about a 10-minute drive from Medalist, where Tiger Woods and Rickie Fowler, among others, are set up. Despite his status and net worth, Phil was not immediately offered the membership of this club because of its exclusivity and was in the “process” of getting it. This definitely made him feel less than secure about his place among the richest athletes. As one would think, getting a membership at a club would be easy, considering you have a $300 million net worth.
