This Tiger Woods divorce looks like it’s going to be fought with conventional weapons, and cost thousands of lives. Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that negotiations are bogging down over Tiger’s demand that Elin Nordegren sign a confidentiality agreement, prohibiting her from writing a book or doing any interviews related to the marriage. Oh, and there’s this:
In addition, I’m hearing Nordegren is ramping up her financial demands — to an estimated $750 million package — and wants full custody of their children.
Whoa; 750 million bucks, and no kids. I guess the moral is do not ever get involved in divorce proceedings with a viking.
So as one might expect, Tiger and Elin are no longer speaking to each other, according to Radar Online.
“Elin has the nannies take the children back and forth,” one source told RadarOnline.com about how the children are moved to and from Tiger and Elin’s home. Elin moved out of the home they shared and into a rented house about a mile away.
Recently, one of Tiger’s employees spent 20 minutes with Elin at her house, going over upcoming logistics and schedules. “They’ve had no conflict over the children but they’ve also had no contact,” the source said. “Elin has made it very clear this is the way she wants it.”
Meanwhile, Elin is doing what most about-to-be-divorced women do; she’s going back to college. Because what if that 750 mil runs out, and she’s caught without a marketable skill? Then where would she be?

Tiger, word of advise, dont give her all that she is demanding, you have some say so in all of this too. She wants $750 million and the kids, wow… tell her $750 million and half custody. We all know all of this is your fault, but you are the kids dad and you deserve to see them grow up too…

Funny how all these women think 750 mill in jack is worth the humiliaton he put her through, but if the roles were reversed and she had been done all the cheating and had all the money these same emotionally retarded women would find a reason to blame the man and would justify the cheating cheating the woman did.
Jack Nicholson said it best in As Good As It Gets when asked how he wrote women so well…”I take a man and remove reason and accountability.”
All women think men owe them something for whatever bad things any man ever did to any woman…but can always justify there own faults, and usually blame it on the man.
My wife being the exception to the rule of course :-]

No—The “Moral” of this story is NOT to avoid getting into divorce proceedings with a Viking——–
The moral is…..See what happens to you when you sleep with every whore in town, repeatedly, behind your wife’s back!

You obviously do not have a family id you would condone taking a loving father away from his kids…
Tiger is very much in the wrong, but condoning him losing every penny and his kids is wrong on every score

Eldrick’s sense of entitlement not only cost him his marriage and family,but possibly the biggest prize, Jack’s majors record.
Chances are he will go on to win millions but we will never look at him the same. Quite frankly I feel a bit ripped off I thought I was watching the greatest golfer ever. We were all had, he fooled us all.

Can we call it a SWEDE REVENGE lol !!!
Go Elin !!!! Take him to the cleaners big time. She deserves every single penny she can get from this pervert horndog pig.
My God I can’t believe people calling Elin a whore and a tramp. What did she do wrong please ?
He’s the one who created this huge mess, he’s the one who betrayed and destroyed his family. No sympathy here. He knew what he was doing now it’s time to pay. I hope the good times with those trashy bimbos were worth it !!! Judging from the pictures I don’t think so. But Mr Woods has no taste at all. Trading a beautiful classy elegant educated wife for sex with hookers and porn stars is plain stupid.

I loved the “Viking” part, that is funny and, well, true. I am very glad that Elin doesn’t feel compelled to speak to this jackass. She is after all going to have to be tested for AIDS for the next 10 years minimum because of his gross sexual indiscretions (a number of his liaisons reported no concern about protection….).
Glad for the $750M figure, which is probably why Tiger is feigning all of this golfing trouble (he doesn’t want to win right now while divorce figures are being scrubbed, does he?)
Elin’ss going back to college is a fabulous idea, I hope she goes from there to law school too–she’d make a fabulous attorney, those “Vikings” always do! She is beautiful and intelligent, can do anything she wants.
Lifetime confidentiality? Tiger doesn’t deserve that. Nope, he lost that right with all of this bad behavior.
Elin–proud of you!

Its in the news, TIGER has been linked to HGH a PED. Obviously he has been cheating in golf as he cheated in his marriage. Elin probably knows he has been doing PED’s for years. Its now so obvious that he was a cheater from the start. The PGA should strip him of all his wins. The cheating has to be stopped. There is no integrity in a man anymore. What a loser.

Paul, how do you know he took them? And it IS golf we’re talking about here. HOW can PEDs improve a golf game? This guy has been at the top of the tree since he was 3. What he took PEDs then too?

If Tiger ultimately pays out $750 mil to Elin……….how much would that figure out to cost Tiger per ‘sexual session’……….? I figure maybe say at least 4 ‘sessions’ per woman X 120 women divided by $750 mil = $1,562,500 per session…………..

How do you know it’s all his fault? Are you all knowing and all wise? Doubt it. If Elin is so classy, educated and not a tramp, why is she reaching out for Tiggers dosh after 5 lousy years of near sexless marriage? Why doesn’t she make her own money? It’s Tigger’s skill that brought home the bacon, so she can gallivant about on private jets.

Ponder this thought!! Do beautiful women really love the men they marry or does a hefty income draw them in? If Tiger was not rich, I don’t think she would have given him the time of day. This is the opportunity she and all the other Gold-Diggers dream about — a good excuse to get out of the marraige and become filthy rich. It’s all about the money!!!! Tiger was too naive to see this coming. Let this be a lesson for all you overly-protective offsprings about post-modern women.

Why do people come to a sports site, click on a story clearly about Eldrick’s troubles, and then rail on about “Enough already… leave it alone… write about important news of the day…etc.”??

Elin did not earn a cent of the money she is after in this mess. Of course she deserves to be taken care of properly and $100 mil would do the trick for anyone. She is just going to turn public opinion against her if she persists on being a gold digger. Be reasonable, get a large settlement that will insure your comfort for the rest of your life and fade into the background. After all, she started out as a nanny. It is not as though she was from royalty or something.

Tiger was a triple threat at 25. Famous. Wealthy. Highly Accomplished.
When you are impossibly famous, worth 250 million dollars at the age of 25 and are widely recognized as being the absolute best in the world at what you do……………….YOU DON’T MARRY A FREAKING NANNY!!
You work hard at what you do, enjoy your life until your are 35 or 40 and then get married to a woman of substance, you NEVER MARRY THE NANNY!!!
Someone should have tackled him when he said he was getting married. And I am sure he did it to satisfy his mother who was bothering him for grandkids etc.

Hey Joe, it is not your responsibility to pay for your kids college. Sorry if 42K teach salary isn’t enough for you to live. You might want to rethink your spending. Or tell your wife to get a job.

Obviously you have no idea where his income is coming from. He’s made way more from endorsing products than playing golf and Elin deserves at least half of his current net worth AND future earnings to take care of herself and the kids.

750MM? No way…first of all, he earned a bunch of loot before they were married that she’s not entitled to. If they were married for 5 years, and in that time he earned about 400MM (probably not), she’s entitled to a maximum of half, and probably less. For alimony, she’ll get a big portion of his forward earnings, but probably only for about 3 years. I’m sure she’s asked for 750MM but she won’t get half of that. Also, seeing that the money was earned by Tiger fraudulently, by making companies believe he was squeaky clean, I hope the media bugs both of them for a long time. She may not deserve it, but neither of them deserve the endorsement money. Wonder what happens to the new house in West Palm. That thing will be about 75MM when it’s done, when you include the cost of all that land. Will he live there with Rachael???

I am assuming you are a woman and live alone with about 10 cats. probably never been married or if you were, your husband (assuming you are a woman)cheated on you because he got tired of your incessant whining.
