Is it getting chilly here in the Tiger Woods marriage, or is it just me? Elin Nordegren may be back in Sweden for good, according to a report, while still discussing divorce with Tiger Woods and continuing to remodel the home she purchased with her twin sister. Brrr. Radar Online is reporting that Elin wants to return to live in Sweden with the couple’s two children, is making plans for her life after she divorces Tiger, and that “Divorce is openly discussed.” Tiger as a swinging single? I see no way that can end badly.
Now they barely talk to each other, live separately and have been extremely civil while sharing the children. But if Elin does attempt to move back to Sweden that is sure to concern Tiger, who does not want to be separated so far away from his children.
A good old-fashioned custody dispute? I can’t imagine Tiger having any kind of hand here. Meanwhile, none other than Donald Trump is also declaring the marriage kaput.
Video following the jump.
Trump appeared on Fox TV recently and said that he “knows Tiger well” and that the marriage “is done.” But he, you, know, if you’re Tiger Woods, whaddya gonna do?
Trump: “It’s very very tough. When you’re walking down the fairway, and you have 100,000 people lined up, and 20 of them are incredible looking women, and you turn down 19 of them but you accept one, you know, he’s in a tough position.”

I think that if Elin moves to Sweden she is being very selfish. Not condoning the actions of Tiger, however, doesn’t one ever stop to think about the kids in this situation. I have gone through a divorce and a bad custody situation. The only one that gets hurt are the kids. Don’t you think they will want to see Dad. Absolutely. She is were she is because of Tiger. She has the money and life style because of Tiger. She deserves to keep that, but in the US. There is no reason to take her toys and run home because she got hurt. That is very selfish. Divorce him is she wants, but stay in the states so they will have access to there dad. It is not about her, it is about the kids. Mark my word, I know from experience, one day they will wake up and resent her for doing what she is doing. She may not think so now, but it will happen. This is not about Elin or Tiger, it is about the children. Get divorce, but keep it civil for them. In the end, the children will love both of them more for their efforts. I assure you this will happen.

Bama please spare me your comments. How do you know Elin is selfish ? The only one who acted with grace and dignity throughout this sordid affair has been Elin.
Tiger has been very selfish. Did he think about the kids when he was banging every little stupid bimbo in sight ? I don’t think so.
The kids have to stay with the only one responsible in this marriage ie Elin.
He has never been a good father and he will never be.
I don’t care about the lifestyle or money. The only thing important is to be there for your loved ones. Tiger loves only one person that is HIMSELF. He can go back to golf and his harem of sluts. It seems to me that the only things that matter to him.
He’s a coward, a weak, a narcissitic, egomaniac, cheater, liar.
He can rot in hell nobody cares about this poor excuse of a man anymore. Anyone who can destroy and humiliate his family in such an awful way doesn’t deserve our time.

Hey Fergie, you act & sound like Tiger is the first & only guy to do such a thing. I too think Elin would be very selfish if she moved all the way to Sweden & took their kids. I believe Tiger was & is a good father. No one can make me believe that Elin knew NOTHING about ALL these affairs…I wish Tiger all the best & can’t wait to see him play golf this week. Golf NEEDS Tiger to succeed…

Geez Fergie you certainly know a lot about what kind of “father” the man is. How do you come by your information. We all realize he was being sleazy to commit adultery in the first place. The public does get it you know. So, please spare me your comments. It appears you have, shall we say, a cross to bare in relation to this mess in which this family is involved. As one other poster stated, do you really believe that all the rest of the “gentleman” golfers have not also been boffing every VGG that would accept them while they are on tour? Tiger will pay (money aside) dearly for his gross indiscretion, but boffing several women does not necessarily make a man or woman a bad parents. There are tons of irresponsible parents in the world, he is not the only one to be involved in this quandry. Men and women do it all the time, it is just not publicized because no one is interested in John Q Public
dalliances. He ain’t the only poor excuse for a man. Again, the world is full of them, rich, poor, fairly rich etc. He is not an angel but he is not alone in committing adultery. His life should be about his children, depriving him of seeing his children who I would like to think love him is just wrong. By the way,what is your life like these days?????? Hmmmmm

Fergie hit it right on the head………Elin deserves much better than Tiger Woods…….I hope she takes every last cent from him…..Texas13 is a bonafide moron….he wishes him all the best and can’t wait to see him play golf…….oh my god this….Texas13 doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anything but Tiger winning at golf and breaking Jack’s record of 18 majors…..what a disgrace when that happens…….Tiger couldn’t carry Jack’s jock strap…….I hope & pray that Tiger NEVER breaks that holy grail of records…..He’s NOT worthy of doing so.

AMEN to Fergie. Just because Tiger is not the first man to cheat, does that make it right? And yes, we do know what kind of father he is. The kind of father who is not thinking about disrespecting their Mother and exposing her to ridicule. He also exposed those children to being stalked by the press, because of his behavior. They were not bothered before it all came out what a sad excuse he is as a human being.

Tiger has those kids because of who?…Elin. Tiger has the resources to see his kids as often as he wishes not like the rest of us mortals. Tiger it seems wasn’t spending a lot of time with his kids as it took most of his waking hours not playing golf to “entertain” a dozen or so women including two and three at a time in some cases. I don’t think anyone needs to feel sorry for him. Instead feel sorry for some mom or dad working three jobs each to put food on the table and a roof over their heads and can’t spend the time with their kids that they would like or need. Perspective people…Perspective!
And we wonder why our society is what it has become.

I am thinking that where Elin lives is not really relevant as far as custody goes, remember Tiger woods is a very rich man who has his own jet to fly over to Sweden whenever he cares to. Even if Elin stayed in the U.S. he still would have to abide by the courts rulings on visitation rights and I am sure Tiger is not gonna be living in the same city as Elin if she were to stay here. Remember Elin is from Sweden not here in the U.S., so I am feeling she would rather surround herself with her family and friends.

I wonder if Elin were caught cheating with 19 people all those Tiger lovers would be saying the same – “Oh, Tiger is gone all the time” or “She had the resources” or “But I know she’s a good mother” or “They need to work it out for the kids” No. Tiger is a low down cheating scumbag who happens to be great at golf and has no one else to blame for whatever happens to him.

Good for Elin, why should she make Tigers live comfortable, when as soon as the divorce is over he’ll be right back to his skanks, and golf,(They came before his family anyway) why should she have to stay here for HER children. He had an affair while she was prego and missed is son’s 1st birthday. Elin/kids just made him look like a family man to hide all his secrets. He a pig and she’ll find someone that puts her and HER children first.

I do not understand how someone that cheats on their spouse and brings shame to the family can be considered a good father. Tiger is great for golf blah, blah, blah…. There is no way he can be considered a good father. For as much hurt he has brought to Elin his children are going to suffer even more. Sure he provides them with a nice home but the children are going to have to deal with the repercussions of Tiger’s actions for a long time. Great golfer? Sure. Good father? NO!!!!!!

Texas13,
Gimme a break. Elin can take the kids to Siberia if she wants, and it wouldn’t make a difference to Tiger. He can hop on a private jet, at a moment’s notice, and be anywhere in the world in short order. Not to mentiont the fact that if he REALLY wanted to be close to the kids, he can buy himself a home in Sweden. She’s taking the children home to be closer to her family, which she has every right to do.

=================================================
Uh, Fergie…you know about Tiger by what others have told you and you think you know about Elin by what you have not been told by others.
You have no credibility to claim that Elin has acted with grace and dignity, because you have no information on what she has or has not done.
Hate him if you will, Tiger also made a willing choice to not offset himself to the public by pointing out negative things about Elin.
And also, if Bama has started their post with “he is a piece of crap….” you would not have started yours with “spare me your comments”…so if their opinion can be spared, why can’t yours?

I know your comments are true because this just happened to my husband. When he was in college 25 years ago he had a relationship with a woman who got pregnant and left him without telling him anything. He was dumfounded because he really loved this woman and she left him without giving him any reason.
Move foward 21 years….a “son” comes calling. A son he didn’t even know existed because the woman had not disclosed she was pregnant.
It has been four years now and the son my husband did not know he had lives with him now. He does not want to live with his mother. So, it’s true! Do not keep the kids from their parents – ever! The kids will not thank you – they will shun you!

What’s most interesting to me is not so much Tiger’s lifestyle, but the reaction of we, the public. It seems there are many people who don’t really understand the nature of personal integrity and responsibility. One guy said “We need Tiger in Golf.” So apparently money and competition are more important to some people than character and integrity. Someone else referred to “Tiger’s gross indiscretion.” Indiscretion? Completely wiping out a nuclear family is an indiscretion? This is not a question of whether or not Elin’s moving to Sweden is the right thing. Tiger gave up all, and I mean all his rights and priviledges when he violated her. He forfeited everything – and yet many people think Tiger can still be a good father? In what sense? You mean he can be there to teach his children morality, character, and integrity? Riiighhhht.

I just read all the above comments. My it sounds like a battle between many of you. One says this, another that, one doesn’t like this, one doesn’t like that, one criticizes this person, another that. C’mon, what’s really correct here?
Let’s put Tiger & Elin aside. Let me ask you: Men, IF you did what Tiger did, would your wife care? I betcha most of you would be in the same predicament, facing a court proceeding, divorce and a life that’s not worth talking about with your “decent” friends, if you have any!
Just what Elin does or doesn’t do is none of anyone’s business! Not mine, not yours. Any individual especially that has children and participates in this type of business is at high risk for anything that society will provide you in the years to come. Yes, under certain conditions, people who make mistakes and actually prove that they’re “healed” and can resume a normal life, then those wives or husbands can hopefully resume a life together. As far as Tiger is concerned, none of us know right now what he’s doing to further make amends for his dumb acts or if this was an actual situation that he had a sickness he had no control of! Tiger isn’t going to tell you or anyone where he’s at unless he wants to.
Until then, let’s all of us go about our own business, tend to our own problems (and don’t tell me you have none)and be decent law abiding citizens that others will be proud of. Nuff said.

I hope there are laws in this once great country of ours that prohibit her from taking his kids and running to a foreign country. He hasn’t been convicted of a crime and he sure isn’t in jail. You don’t lose your parential rights just because you got caught messing around with some bimbo’s. She wants to move to Sweeden, so be it, at worst for the father, it should be a 6 months here, 6 month there kinda deal. He can find another nanny to watch his kids while he is busy. And if you moral police figure that’s not good for the kids, she can always let him have them full time.

As usual Steve, you have it wrong. The amount of publicity anyone receives is based upon ones popularity – so if I cheated maybe the neighborhood and family would scorn me – the Mayor of my town, etc., etc. But because it was done by the best golfer on the planet and with such magnitude (oh, did I mention he tried to paint himself as a loving father and husband?) it’s news! So if you truely believe it’s nobodies business, why are you writing anything? BECAUSE YOU CARE YOU IDIOT!

Obviously, you care enough to go on the rampage that you did.
What does it matter to you. It matters to Tiger, Elin and the children how he acted and why. People make mistakes in life and that is what he did. He is trying to fix what he did and should not be judged by people who do not know him or his family.
Sounds like you are just jealous that he did not pick you to sleep with.

So why don’t we all just die…your entire arguement is that after one errors (whatever that error is) there is no worth after that. If because Tiger did what he did, he can somehow no longer teach his children morality, character and integrity, how can you teach your children not to lie to you when you have lied in the past? How can you teach your children morality when you may have had sexual relations prior to becoming married or integrity when you really worked 38 hours but your employer paid you for 40?
Take your sarcasm and stick it, you open mouth and insert foot far too often.

I’m fairly certain that Tiger never read the 10 commandments since he was not reared as a Christian. I beliee he said recently that he was reared as a Buddist by his mother.
