Tiger Woods' wife is to 'end marriage after Christmas'

 

 

How giving up golf may have been too little, too late for humiliated Elin

 

Tiger Woods' wife is to end their marriage and return to Sweden, it was reported today. Elin Nordegren is said to be in talks with divorce lawyers, but will only launch legal proceedings after Christmas for the sake of their two children.

 

The latest blow to the scandal-hit golfer emerged as one of his alleged mistresses claimed they had sex on the night his beloved father died. And yesterday Woods’ main sponsor Gillette said it would be ‘limiting’ the role of the world’s richest sportsman. The No1 golfer, who on Friday finally admitted he had been unfaithful to his wife, faces claims he has slept with at least 11 other women during their five-year marriage. In the statement on Friday night he said he was taking an indefinite break from golf to focus on his marriage. But his sacrifice may be too little, too late.

 

Elin, 29, is said is said to be furious about the revelations and reportedly told him: ‘Don't talk to me, speak to your therapist! I don't want to see you!’

She now wants to spend Christmas in Sweden with Woods, 33, their two-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie, it is claimed. They will undergo a trial separation in the New Year, the News of the World reported.

 

‘Elin will pretend it's the usual family celebration for the children and then ditch the man,’ a source told the Sunday newspaper. ‘In the short-term they'll act like any other loving couple. Elin won't break it all up right away. ‘But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly.’

Although, the couple plan to spend Christmas together, Elin is said to have moved herself and the children out of the marital home to a separate house 200 yards down the road in Windermere, Florida.

 

On Friday photographs emerged showing a removal truck leaving the marital home packed with five or six large boxes. Later will apparently come the big move across the world - to the new Faglaro mansion she's bought on an island near Stockholm. Elin's reported plans emerged while the News of the World also claimed that shamed Woods argued with his Swedish mother-in-law just minutes before she collapsed and was dramatically rushed into hospital last week.

It has also been reported by the same paper that Woods is still in touch with his most recent mistress Rachel Uchitel.

 

She is the VIP party hostess who allegedly sparked the domestic row two weeks that led to Woods crashing his car - flushing the whole scandal out into the open.

Despite Rachel clinching £1,350,000 hush money from Tiger not to talk to the media, she allegedly told a close friend how the billion-dollar sportsman had promised he'd leave his wife for her.

 

Another alleged mistress, Jamie Jungers, told the News of the World that they had sex hours before he learned his father had died of cancer. She claimed they were still in bed when Woods received the phone call telling him his father had passed away at the age of 74 in May, 2006.

 

Deceased Earl had been described by Woods as ‘my best friend’. On Friday night Woods admitted he was a love cheat as he announced he was taking an 'indefinite break' from golf. Speculation over Tiger's private life began after a bizarre car crash outside his house a fortnight ago. The golfer was left unconscious and bleeding following the crash in which he hit a fire hydrant and a neighbour's tree following a reported 2am argument with Elin, a former Swedish model. There has been no shortage of drama at the Woods house. Tiger's mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg was then rushed to hospital last week after a reported anxiety attack following an argument with the sportsman over his alleged affairs.

 

Tiger and Elin, who were introduced by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik at the Open Championship in 2001, married in Barbados in October 2004.

He has been a complete idiot.

what a scumbag... honestly i have no tolerance for people that cheat on their significant other. If you don't love the person or want to be with someone else then break up or divorce.

 

Imagine how embarrassing it must be for his wife... now up to 12 different women (who knows how many more) and she had no idea about it.

Tiger Woods had a weekend to forget at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio

 

Woods woes deepen ahead of USPGA

 

Jack Nicklaus said in May that Corey Pavin "would need a brain scan" if he left Tiger Woods out of the US Ryder Cup team.

 

Now you could argue the American skipper needs his head examining if he does pick the world number one.

 

Woods's dismal finish at the WGC event in Ohio at the weekend - a final-round 77 dropping him to second last in the 80-man field - suggests the American's game, as well as his private life, is in free fall.

 

With his once impregnable mask of invincibility lying in a heap of dust around his feet, Woods finds himself alongside Michael Schumacher and Lance Armstrong as former greats looking a shadow of their former selves. At least they can use age as an excuse.

 

Woods is now 10th in the US Ryder Cup standings, with the top eight at the end of the USPGA on Sunday receiving automatic spots. He will probably have to finish inside the first eight at Whistling Straits to squeeze into the team. If not, it's up to Pavin, who will name his four wildcards on 7 September.

 

The skipper will make his choices based on a wide range of factors, not just one poor tournament. But Woods's form, allied to the ongoing turmoil at home following his marital infidelities, a less than stellar Ryder Cup record (10 wins, 13 losses, two halves) and the need for a harmonious US camp suggest Pavin might prefer to go with a team of hungry young guns, marshalled by Phil Mickelson.

 

Woods, remember, was sidelined after knee surgery for the 2008 event at Valhalla and the US won for the first time in nine years.

 

At the Masters in April, Woods was asked about playing in the Ryder Cup. "Would I like to play in it? If I qualify," he said. At Firestone last week, he avoided committing himself to taking up a wildcard, three times batting away the question with the stock answer: "I'm planning on playing my way into the team."

 

That's hardly the talk of someone with a burning ambition to play, in stark contrast to many of his young compatriots who are sounding positively European in their drive to make a Ryder Cup team.

 

Now, the 14-time major champion may have a ready excuse to swerve the event. "I would not help the team if I was playing like this," said Woods, who has never really loved the Ryder Cup. It's a tricky situation though - if he is found to have twisted Pavin's arm to leave him out, it would put another huge dent in his already fragile public image.

 

None of us can know what's going on in Woods's head, but trying to be a good father to his two children while his marriage lies in tatters can't help with the focus, either on the golf course or on the practice range.

 

In statistical terms this season, Woods ranks 163rd in driving accuracy, 166th in greens in regulation and 129th in putts per round.

 

Woods's scrambling and his ability to sink crucial putts - for par as well as birdies - have been the hallmarks of his greatness over the years. Now, he just can't get the ball in the hole.

 

His determination to keep plugging away is commendable but Woods is competing without a coach after Hank Haney quit in May, and another former coach Butch Harmon - now with arch-rival Mickelson - says Woods "looks lost".

 

"Tiger Woods right now is playing the worst I've ever seen him play," said Harmon.

"He has got to get his head right; he's got to get his life in order before he can even think about playing golf."

 

Woods likened his current struggles to the period after the Masters in 1997 when he remodelled his swing under Harmon, but admitted it is worse than his previous "slump" in 2003 before he began working with Haney.

 

"I think I can turn it round," he said on Sunday, before adding wistfully, "but it's been a long year."

 

We mustn't get too carried away writing off Woods. Mickelson carded an even worse final round in Ohio - a 78, including a front nine of 41. Sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth.

 

Also, the WGC event featured no cut - ordinarily, Woods would have just missed the weekend, a minor indignity compared to the headline-grabbing record-worst finish.

 

Mickelson's collapse meant he missed the chance to overtake Woods as world number one, but he can do so again at Whistling Straits if results go his way, as can world number four Steve Stricker. Lee Westwood, ranked third, is missing with a calf injury.

 

Despite Woods's woes, he has finished fourth in two majors this year and fired a stunning third-round 66 in the US Open at Pebble Beach, a glimpse of the charging Tiger of old.

 

His tied 23rd at the Open wasn't poor, just distinctly average for a man who had strolled to the last two events at St Andrews.

 

So it seems that at the moment we just don't know which Tiger Woods is going to turn up. Terminal decline, or minor blip? Perhaps Pavin is not willing to take that risk.
