New Book Reveals New Insight into Tiger and Elin Marriage

May 17, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

A new biography reveals some shocking details about the relationship between Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren.   Like the golf star wasn’t even liked by his future wife.  Woods had to ask Nordegren out five times before she finally accepted.   Even after this extended pre-copurtship, Elin wasn’t even sure she liked Woods.   Steve Helling, a staff writer at People Magazine, wrote Tiger: The Real Story and reveals “Elin was not the type of young woman to date Tiger Woods, at least not at first.  For one thing, she had a boyfriend at home in Sweden.  He was a normal, decent guy, driving a forklift in a warehouse.  If things worked out with him, her life would be safe and predictable, an option that Elin found extremely appealing.”
The book reveals the courtship period of the Elin-Tiger relationship, their marriage and the eventual scandal.  Dating Tiger Woods, the book says, would be the opposite of her quaint and stable relationship with the forklift operator:  “Paparazzi and tabloids would be around every corner, and Elin couldn’t bear the thought of such an invasion of privacy.  Besides, she really didn’t find Tiger attractive; he simply wasn’t her type.”

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Another revealing detail is that the golf legend got a friend to ask Nordegren out for him while working for pro golfer Jesper Parnevik.  According to a source, “She thought it was so weird and pathetic.  Of course she said no.”

Tiger grew more persistent each time Elin turned him down.  The pro golfer was not one to be turned down and eventually Elin agreed to one casual date with him, reportedly to get him off her back.  Elin came to like Tiger and began to feel that he was not a celebrity.  She was surprised to be falling for him so quickly.

Another intriguing detail is how the couple got engaged.  Elin and Tiger got engaged while on safari in South Africa.  Apparently the pair wandered off and freaked out the ranger, who didn’t know where they had gone off to.  When they returned, Elin was sporting a massive engagement ring.  “The diamond was half as big as my finger.”  The ranger said.

May 17, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

Things aren’t going so well for Tiger Woods.  With a failed comeback to golf, a ridiculous Nike commercial, and now his coach of six years quitting via text, Woods isn’t quite having the comeback he hoped for.  And rumor is that things may just continue on the downward slope as Elin Nordegren is reportedly planning to divorce Woods.  Apparently no amount of private yachts, island getaways or diamonds can convince her to stay!

A source reportedly said that despite couples therapy, things just aren’t boding well for the couple.  “They don’t fight.  There is a coldness between them and it’s Elin who is pulling the plug on the marriage.  She has tried to put things back together.  She went to therapy with Tiger.  She gave it a shot moving forward.”  The source went on to say that Elin is willing to share custody of the children with Tiger.

Other sources have told celebrity gossip sites like TMZ that the most important thing for both Elin and Tiger is keeping the terms of the divorce confidential.   Nordegren also went to Sweden with her children and some speculate that divorce proceedings may be filed there.

Elin Never Asked for an Apology from Woods

February 24, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

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.”

Tiger’s Public Apology: Will Elin Be By His Side?

February 18, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

tiger woods and elinThis Friday Tiger Woods will make an announcement that will serve as a public apology for his transgressions, as well as answer questions about his future in golf. But everybody’s wondering: Will Elin be by his side? When Kobe Bryant admitted infidelity in 2003, he issued a teary-eyed apology and his wife Vanessa flaunted an 8-carat, $4 million purple diamond ring on her finger.

The embattled golfer is set to issue the public statement on Friday morning in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Woods was not photographed or seen by the paparazzi since the news of his infidelities broke, until this week when he was caught jogging near his home in Orlando. Elin, however, has been spotted several times—including skiing abroad. Some outlets even report that she was spotted visiting Woods at a sex rehab clinic in Mississippi.

So will Elin be by Tiger’s side sporting a multi-million dollar apology diamond ring? Maybe it will be accompanied by diamond studs and necklaces? One thing we know for sure—whether she’s there or not, all eyes will be on how Tiger is compensating Elin.

Tiger Woods Buys Wife a New Boat

February 12, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

It takes a lot to make up for all the alleged infidelities that have stacked up on Tiger Wood’s end.  When the news broke out, it seemed like a cocktail waitress in every major American city was coming out to claim they slept with Tiger.  And now, after much speculation that Tiger was going to lose his wife, Elin Nordegren, he has bought her a 61-foot, $2 to $3 million boat aptly christened Solitude.

So no new engagement rings, no new private houses, and no divorce.  Instead Nordegren is appeased with this new, state-of-the-art boat, docked at the Pirate’s Cove Resort & Marina, only ten minutes ride from Jupter Island and his future estate.  Nordegren reportedly loves diving, and Solitude is made specifically for that.

Friends of Woods and Nordegren hope that the boat will represent a new phase for the couple, who have countered divorce allegations with pleas for privacy.  The friend says, “Maybe the boat will represent a new beginning for Tiger and Elin.  Romantic sea air can do wonders for a troubled marriage.”

The couple had reportedly done a lot of diving in the early years of their marriage and it is assumed that they may want to return to going underwater and spending time secluded from the hoards of paparazzi anxious to get a picture of the couple.
