Elin Nordegren Woods is going to college

California v Stanford
We may not know for sure whether Elin Woods will soon be filing for divorce, but she is moving on with her life. Radar Online reports that she’s taking a college night course this summer at a small liberal arts school near her home in Orlando, Florida. They also have more background on Elin, 30. While I’d heard that she was a nanny to a Swedish golfer when Tiger met her I didn’t know that she was working at a clothing shop in Stockholm when she met the golfer’s wife. She also supposedly wanted to become a child psychologist, so maybe she’s on her way. Elin has been married to Cheetah for six years and is mom to daughter Sam, three, and Charlie, 15 months.

The beautiful blonde started school on Monday night at [a school in] Florida and RadarOnline.com captured exclusive video of her on campus.

The school is just outside of Orlando and is a small private liberal arts school…

Before meeting Tiger she attended Lund University in Sweden.

As her relationship with Tiger has unraveled, Elin has demonstrated more and more independence. She has taken four trips away from him in the past five weeks and is living in a house she rented approximately a mile away from the home they once shared.

Her decision to go back to school came after a conversation with one of her nannies, who revealed that she was enrolled at [the school].

That prompted Elin to explore taking a class in the summer session, which started Monday.

Leaving the children with Tiger, Elin took off from her home Monday and arrived at [the school] in plenty of time for the start of her 6 pm class.

After attending Lund University, Elin worked in a Stockholm clothing store. That’s where she met the wife of Swedish golf star Jesper Parnevik. Mia Parnevik hired her as a nanny to their children.

While working for the Parneviks, Elin met Tiger, who pursued her relentlessly and even enlisted Jesper’s help to get Elin to date him.

Since Tiger’s secret cheating life has been revealed Jesper has said that Tiger is no longer welcome in his home.

Before marrying Tiger, Elin wanted to become a child psychologist. Her father was a successful journalist as served as Washington bureau chief for a Swedish broadcasting company. Her mother Barbro Holmberg is a government minister.

I guess this means that Elin is staying put in Florida for the summer while she takes this course. Sadly Radar published the name of the college and the exact day and time that Elin will be there. There will be a ton of paparazzi there next week and this could discourage her from completing her studies. Elin is a tough one, though, and I bet she’ll stick it out. Good for her for expanding her horizons.

Meanwhile Tiger is next scheduled to play the U.S. open on June 17, the AT&T National on July 1 and the British Open on July 15. He dropped out of the Players Championship two weeks ago, citing an injured neck that he denies is at all connected to his car accident in late November. Doctors note that Tiger’s injury is consistent with whiplash. He has a tough journey ahead of him and it’s doubtful that he’ll return to his former glory after all this, but we’ll see.

  2. canadianchick says:

    Good for her, I’m all for her fulfilling her career dreams since Tiger managed to piss on her dream of marriage.

  3. lilred says:

    Tiger did not drop out because of whiplash, he dropped out from backlash of the unexpected sh*t storm he created.

  4. sunnyjyl says:

    What an excellent choice for her. Way to go!

    What a relief to read a post that’s NOT about a ridiculous famewhore doing something outrageous for attention!

    I agree it was unfortunate that Radar mentioned the school name. It’s a wonderful, small school in a quaint spot. Now the paps are going to come along and soil it.

  9. Aspen says:

    Good for her! She’s taking care of business and creating a life for herself outside of being Tiger’s wife. Marvelous! Best of luck to her, and I hope the paps don’t descend upon her school.

  10. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    Glad to see she is thinking about life after Tiger.

  11. YT says:

    Some time ago I read that Elin had been taking courses at Rollins, so this info is probably a little off. It’s not new info but rewritten info.

  12. Sudini says:

    Way to go Elin! This is another example of her strength and self-respect. She’s reclaiming herself and I just love her for that.

  13. She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named says:

    YAY!!!

  14. Majosha says:

    I thought her sister was married to that Jesper guy? Guess I’ve shed most of the Tiger-related details to make room for other stuff.

    Anyway, I’m glad she’s using some of her fortune wisely and going back to school. It’s a rare thing these days when celebrities take advantage of their considerable resources to further their education. Hence all the rich, but utterly useless, a*sholes swarming the headlines.

  15. v says:

    It’s about time! What was she waiting for..a cheating scandal to break before she got herself educated? I don’t understand how people marry these wealthy guys and stop pursuing their education goals? It seems to be that money drives most….such a pity! But yet they want half of the money that they did nothing to contribute to.

  16. Lynn says:

    Who cares if she is going to school and how thoughtless of anyone to publish where and when. She does not deserve 750MM if she attacked her husband with a weapon. She would no more deserve sole custody than he does for wrongdoing. If they are not speaking they are stupid. Kids know when their parents are fighting no matter how old they are.

    So that’s how it happened……Elin had already “dated”, i.e. slept with other golf pros before she met Tiger. She was an attractive nanny for Jesper Parnevik and had the opportunity to meet the golfers. It wasn’t until after they were married that Tiger found out she had slept with other golfers and was devastated. He was asked one night, while playing poker with a bunch of other golfers how it felt to know his wife slept with_____ and _____ ? This news was very upsetting to Tiger and changed his outlook and opinion of Elin – especially since she wasn’t honest about it before the marriage. It put him in a tailspin and forever changed their relationship. After that, he wasn’t faithful and she was well aware of his unfaithfulness and accepted it.
