People Magazine has a speculative article about whether Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin, will support her oh-so-sowrry husband by making an appearance at the Masters this week, where he’s making his return to golf. The interesting part of this story is not whether or not she will attend (which is doubtful) but the colorful language they use to describe the fact that she refuses to sleep with her husband, who betrayed her with over a dozen women, many of them paid professionals and at least two of them porn stars. Several of the mistresses state that Tiger didn’t use condoms. People writes that Elin “wears a chastity belt made of spikes,” as if she should welcome her husband back into her bed with open arms. I do buy that Tiger is genuinely remorseful and trying to change (and truth expert Eyes for Lies agrees) but that isn’t enough to atone for the awful things he did. That’s also not enough to convince Elin that it’s worth sleeping with him and risk getting infected with all sorts of skank diseases.

“Elin is going through the motions of family life only to keep the children well grounded,” the source says. “She suffered through the pain of her parents divorcing and doesn’t want to do that to her kids. But she is not happy in the marriage. The trust is gone.”

By day, she may seem to be playing the role of wife. She was even spotted this weekend spending two nights on Woods’s yacht Privacy with only a nanny and son Charlie and daughter Sam. Not surprising, the source says, since “she wears a chastity belt made of spikes. They are not living together as a couple. They are putting on a charade for the children.”

The source does not believe Nordegren will attend next month’s Masters, where Woods will make his comeback after four months off following his sex scandal. “Elin wants to stay away from Augusta and not get involved in the frenzy of the Masters. By not going, she sends a signal that she is staying with Tiger only because of the children. They come first.”

The source says Nordegren did contact top California divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope but did not hire him, and is now dealing with lawyers closer to home in Florida. “[Woods’s] behavior in the coming weeks will tell us quite a bit,” the source says. “If he falls even slightly one more time, she could still file for divorce despite her interest in holding the family together.”

I’m wondering if Elin or Tiger’s camp leaked this story. It sounds like it comes from Elin, but then the “chastity belt made of spikes” bit is over-the-top and paints her in a negative light. It’s just as likely that Tiger’s people are preparing us for a divorce they consider inevitable while trying to kind of publicly chastise Elin for refusing to show up at the Masters. That woman deserves a medal for silently dealing with everything she put up with. You know that every news outlet is clamoring to get her side of the story and I’m hoping we get to see an interview with her in the next few months.
