GOLF legend Tiger Woods celebrated his 50th birthday with a lavish party with a celebrity guest list and a private performance by Jon Bon Jovi.
Woods initially marked this milestone at the end of December without making much of a splash.

But the 15-time Major winner went all out on Wednesday in a red-themed mega bash to also celebrate 30 years of his charitable TGR Foundation.
Woods and girlfriend Vanessa Trump, 48, hosted about 300 VIP guests at The Breakers Hotel in the billionaire enclave of Palm Beach, Florida.
Vanessa’s golf protege daughter Kai Trump, 18, was also among the guests that night.
Vanessa, who is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, wore a form-hugging black dress with a corset lace up in the back for the glittering event.
Her daughter Kai, meanwhile, rocked a red silk floor-length cutout gown and a cast on her left arm.
She recently announced via Instagram that she had surgery on her wrist.
The guests were entertained by legendary rockerJon Bon Jovi who performed some of his all-time classics, such as Lost Highway, Livin’ on a Prayer, It’s My Life and You Give Love a Bad Name.
The iconic singer said: “I’ve done a lot of big fundraisers with Tiger, even in people’s homes and we’re really, really happy to be here tonight.
“I want to thank you very much because it’s been quite a long time since I performed in public…”
The invited guests were told to “wear a touch of red” in honour of Tiger’s Sunday Red tradition — which saw him wearing red polo shirts on the final day of every golf tournament.
Guests also got to enjoy a number of different selections from the menu, which worked as a nod to Woods’ five Masters Championship dinners.
These included sushi, porterhouse steaks, crab cakes, cheeseburgers, steak and chicken fajitas, stuffed jalapenos, French fries and milkshakes.

The couple’s romance is said to be hotting up
The party had a fundraising goal of $50million (£38m) and hoped to open a new Learning Lab for students.
According to The Mail, the goal was reached as one of the foundation employees exuberantly left the ballroom with his hands in the air, shouting : “Woo hoo, 50m!”
A portion of that sum came from Atlanta Falcons owner and Home Depot founder Arthur Blank, who made a $20m (£14.9m) donation.
Guests included fellow golfers Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas.
Woods, whose net worth is around £1billion, has reportedly fallen head over heels for Vanessa, with friends describing him as feeling like a lovesick teenager once again.
Woods, who was previously married to Elin Nordegren before their 2010 divorce following revelations of his infidelity, is currently recovering from an Achilles injury.
