Elin Nordegren has allegedly moved out of the Orlando home she shared with husband Tiger Woods, according to Radar Online. My guess is that Elin’s mom talked some sense into the young lady.
Elin Nordegren had enough and moved out of the $2.6 million Windermere home, neighbors and other sources close to Tiger, told RadarOnline.com exclusively. Sources say that Elin is living nearby in another house.
Please prepare for the Apple Daily Online computer simulation of Nordegren packing her car and leaving a note for the nanny.
Tiger and his reps are keeping Elin’s move top secret and hope she will come back to the house as soon as possible. They don’t want any publicity about what is going on in the marriage since Tiger’s cheating was revealed.
Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that the Florida Highway patrol wanted to get blood alcohol test results from the hospital that treated Woods following the crash, because is wife had told them that he had consumed alcohol earlier that day. A subpoena for the results was ultimately denied by the state attorney’s office due to lack of evidence, however.

My observations about Tiger Woods is the subject of my book, “Walking With A Tiger.” I wrote the book years ago and preached a sermon series about my son and I attending one of Tiger’s tournaments. http://www.HitBooks.com
He’s in a bit of a pickle now to put it mildly. I’m out of stock on the book, but you can listen to the sermon series free here:
http://www.theonlineword.com/series.html
What do I think now?
Tiger did a low down despicable thing.
I think the same thing that I said a few years ago in the issue, “So What About Jesse?” That issue was about Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton, but it also could have been about David, Solomon, Samson and tons of other leaders, pastors, priests and public figures.
As a pious pastor I should only say, “How dare Tiger to do such a low down despicable thing!” Many write in prayer requests when their spouse has been unfaithful, “What was he or she thinking?”
I have a good idea what he was thinking.
I would like to be pious, self-righteous and perfect sounding but I can’t. I can’t because if I am perfectly honest with myself, I’m not sure if I could hold up under star pressure.
I’m really not sure.
You ask, “What do you mean you’re not sure that you could hold up? You’re a pastor! Of course you could hold up!”
As Joan Rivers used to say, “Can we talk?”
These are Tiger’s circumstances:
1. He is an Alpha Male.
This is a man used to winning. He has a passion and drive to win.
He practices unceasingly. He is a perfectionist at his game. At his best he is undefeatable. He is the best at his sport in the history of the game. He is the epitome of the alpha male.
Alpha males are biologically driven by testosterone, the male hormone. The SAME hormone that’s usually responsible for aggressive drive to dominate and win is the SAME hormone that’s responsible for “guess what?” Yes, that too.
I’ve counseled with a lot of couples, and I see the hormone at work. Men who are highly driven are usually highly driven in all areas. They are usually the ones whose wives complain their husbands had an extra-marital affair. They rarely complain of the men’s lack of interest in amorous activities.
Men who are rarely tempted don’t seem to be as highly testosterone loaded. When sitting across from their wives, the wife is likely to complain about her husband’s lack of interest and/or performance in “that” area.
Is this an over simplification?
Sure, but the general principle is what I’ve observed.
So Tiger is an alpha male. That’s pretty obvious.
2. He has more willing beautiful women presented to him in one day than most men will have available to them in a lifetime.
Women, let me ask you a question.
Who is the world’s most handsome and enticing man?
Now imagine a different one just like him after you every day.
That’s what Tiger faces.
3. He’s the first billionaire athlete.
A billion dollars can do wonders for your looks, but Tiger is a good looking man without the billion. So couple a billion dollars, world fame and good looks and you’ve got a proverbial super chick magnet. As a matter of fact, a million or two will line them up and a billion is a thousand million.
4. He’s in awesome physical shape.
I occasionally play golf. It’s not my favorite sport because it’s too passive for me, but walking 18 holes and doing all that swinging is a reasonably good workout. Do it every day plus hit a few hundred practice balls on the range and it keeps you in excellent shape. Better shape equals more testosterone. More testosterone equals…
5. He’s young.
Enough said.
6. He’s away from home a lot.
His work causes him to travel a lot. That means sleeping in a lot of hotels (alone if he’s strong) all over the world. The isolation from your wife (and that assumes that the relationship is good and that you really miss being away from your wife) in strange lonely places can do things to a man. If you say “Not so,” then you aren’t speaking from an honest man’s perspective with a good drive (I’m not talking about a good golf drive either).
Will I restock and republish the book, “Walking With A Tiger”?
Absolutely! They will be back in stock soon.
I still have a great admiration for Tiger.
My old pastor used to say, “David couldn’t stand it; Solomon couldn’t stand it; Samson couldn’t stand it. I’m 80 and I can’t stand it!” He pastored the church into his 80s.
People think that Tiger’s greatest battle is his PR image and the wrangle with his wife. I don’t think so. I think his greatest battle will be with himself and the tons of women who will now throw themselves at him even more.
7. His greatest battle will be to not do the same thing again.
None of the above mentioned factors will change but two new ones are added.
a) The women now know that Tiger is vulnerable and that he makes errors in that area. Like sharks smelling blood, they will be drawn more and circle even tighter.
b) Affairs often bring an increased coldness into the marriage.
When a wife has been hurt seriously, her heart freezes and it takes a long time (if ever) for it to thaw. Hurt and the fear of repeat may keep her heart cold. So Tiger has two intensified problems. The forbidden women will be hotter, more forward and willing, and his wife has the probability of being colder.
That combo is not good. It is not good at all.
So Tiger’s internal battle with the same thing will likely be harder and any line once crossed is much easier to cross again.
Am I a weak man? No. Have I ever cheated on my wife? No.
Have I ever been seriously tempted? That’s another book.
If I were in Tiger’s shoes past and present, how would I do?
God only knows about me…
but perhaps you would be much stronger in those circumstances.
In super extraordinary circumstances, it takes supernatural Divine power to sustain you.
The strength of an ordinary man is not enough.
Even the strength of a tiger is not enough.

Note: Two out of three married men and half of married women commit adultery at some point in their marriage.
Those are the non-celebrity, non-billionaire stats.

If I were TIGER, Why in the hell would you marry anyway?
A mans man would cherish the opportunity to fish for the best fish in a barrel…
Is he out of his mind?

I hope this is true and she takes this egotistical stupid man to the cleaners. He should have known better. Now he does, but it’s too late.

No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Is Elin perfect in the wife department? It is only the business of Mr. and Mrs. Tiger Woods. Enough already!! He is still the Greatest Golfer in the world. His private life is just that, PRIVATE!!!

Tiger is human and I don’t feel the need for anyone to pass judgement on their personal situatin. As a formal Pro athelete not near the magniude of Tiger I can only imagine the temptations thrust upon him.
Tiger, I am praying for you and ELIN and the CHILDREN for thing to return to normal as soon as possible.

There’s at least one thing wrong with your theory, Tisdale. These women aren’t beautiful. They are skanks. They will sleep with anyone. You need to get your eyes checked, mister.

Tiger may have had affairs with as many as a dozen women while he was married. What a disappointment as a human being! I now could care less what he does on the golf course, and I’ll bet this is the start of his fall as a golfer. Who could respect him now?

Why does it matter? The man is human. Leave him alone. Take a good hard look at yourself first. Didnt Jesus say “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”? Who cares he cheated on his wife. Is he married to you? Does he come home to you everynight? Yeah cheating is wrong but if it doesn’t effect you, why waste your enegry on it? I don’t understand.

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe she IS “the best fish in ther barrel?” With that mentality one is never happy, and not “A MAN.”

I say WOMEN UNITE! BOYCOTT and and ALL of the companies that Tiger has endorsements with! Doesn’t matter how much money you have, how great of an athlete you are, how beautiful your wife is, how much your children mean to you….you STUPID BOY! You’ve just thrown it all away!
