There was a rumor that Elin Nordegren demanded Tiger Wood’s recent public apology, but a source close to both Nordegren and Woods denies the rumor. Despite having made a lengthy apology on his website (twice), issuing Friday’s apology to everyone including his sponsors, putting his golf career on indefinite hold, and going off to rehab for 45 days, Tiger Woods still seems dejected and humbled by the overwhelming scrutiny on his personal life. To fuel the scrutiny, Nordegren was spotted at a high-profile event without her wedding rings. Following that incident, the story was featured on the cover of several tabloids.
“Elin has been very angry and had every right to be angry at him,” A source close to the couple confided. “She never demanded he make the apology, but it was a gesture he was willing to do.” The couple flew out of Orlando via private jet to Arizona the night following Tiger’s public apology.
According to a friend, Nordegren’s top priority right now is the children. She doesn’t want the children to sense “a split or animosity between them”, the friend revealed. The source added that “If it weren’t for the kids and their future, she would be long gone.”
