Tiger Woods is about to have two of the NFL’s highest-paid pass-catchers as neighbours. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have bought homesites at the Legacy Club at Diamante, the private Cabo San Lucas enclave where Woods is designing his third course, and construction on both players’ houses is already underway.
The Bengals pair’s financial firepower makes the investment eye-catching on its own. Chase signed a four-year, $161m extension in March 2025 that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, and Higgins added a four-year, $115m deal on the same night, the NFL confirmed. Together, the two deals are worth $276m.
A $300,000 ticket just to join
Legacy Club is capped at 250 family memberships and sold by invitation. The initiation fee is $300,000, with annual dues estimated at $60,000, according to Golfweek. Only 14 Founder Estates sit inside the golf course itself, and the first house completed there was Woods’ own.
Developer Ken Jowdy told Golfweek that Chase and Higgins are long-standing visitors to the resort.

“They’ve been great supporters here and coming for the last five or six years. We started construction on their houses this year,” Jowdy said to Golfweek.
Course will not be grassed on time
The project has hit a construction snag. Jowdy had hoped to have the course fully grassed by the end of 2026, but he now expects to miss that target.
“We were trying to get it fully grassed by the end of this year, but we won’t make it. February, hopefully,” Jowdy told Golfweek, according to Essentially Sports.
Play is now scheduled to begin in October 2027, timed to run alongside the PGA Tour’s World Wide Technology Championship held at Woods’ first Diamante course, El Cardonal. Legacy will be his third design at the resort, after El Cardonal and the Oasis Short Course, built again with longtime collaborator Beau Welling.
Membership rules are strict enough that outside players cannot simply walk on: no unaccompanied play is permitted, and Jowdy expects Legacy to end up the most exclusive course in Cabo.
The course is slated to host its first members in autumn 2027, ahead of the October tournament week at El Cardonal.
