This story has been burning through the internet for the past 48 hours, slowly but steadily building up some steam. From what little sourcing and back-tracking I’ve done, I think all of the reports steam from the same source: The National Enquirer. The Enquirer is reporting, in this week’s issue, that Tiger Woods is a big, fat cheater. They claim he’s cheating on Elin Norgegren, his wife of six years and mother of his two children (who was a model before they married – just so you know). The Enquirer’s sourcing seems to be exclusively from friends of “the other woman”. The woman is an “events planner” Rachel Uchitel, and in case that name sounds familiar, she is the same woman that Bones star David Boreanaz alleged had an affair with when his wife was pregnant earlier this year (catch up on that story, courtesy of Star Magazine). Good Lord. This Rachel woman gets around, doesn’t she? Allegedly.
The story is gross and dirty and tacky, just like you’d expect. The story is really, really long, so I‘m just going to do this in bullet points:
*Rachel told friends that her liaison with Tiger began in June in New York and has “played out in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Australia.”
*Friends say Rachel told them she and Tiger stay in touch by phone and sexting.
*”I’m sure Tiger thinks Rachel is staying quiet about their affair, but she’s told lots of people,” says Ashley Samson, a close friend of Rachel’s. Samson also passed a polygraph test. “Rachel told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love!’ She even read me text messages Tiger sent her that said ‘I love you, babe. It’s always going to be just you and me.’”
*More from Samson, who sounds like she has some kind ax to grind: “I’m shocked that Rachel would be so casual about an affair that could break up Tiger’s family. It’s crazy.”
*Rachel was alleged boning David Boreanaz and Tiger around the same time, from June through August, when she broke it off with Boreanaz. Allegedly.
*Another friend of Rachel’s (who also passed a polygraph) says: “They were constantly sexting. Tiger asked what she was wearing, what did she want him to do to her, what did she want to do to him. I reminded Rachel that he was married, and she said ‘Big f-cking deal! It’s Tiger Woods! I don’t care about his wife! We’re in love.’ Her nickname for Tiger is Bear.”
*Rachel traveled to Australia to have a secret tryst with Tiger/Bear while he was playing the Australian Masters. An Enquirer reporter watched Rachel check in to Tiger’s hotel, and watched her elevator go up to the 35th floor, where Tiger had a VIP suite.
*When Rachel was contacted by the Enquirer about the tryst, she first lied about her reasons for being there, and about having another boyfriend, but later said she was in Australia “for business”. However, she says that she and Tiger met on two other occasions.
*Rachel: “I don’t want to be somebody’s number two. I don’t want to be with a married man.”
*Tiger’s lawyer told the Enquirer that Tiger may have met Rachel in a club at some point, but “vehemently denied an affair”.
*Rachel’s friends claim she bitched and whined about the Enquirer tracking her on her Australian tryst, and that she complained “I only got to spend one day with Tiger!”
*Rachel’s friends also claim she’s given up dating other men and is seeing Tiger exclusively. Rachel also claims to her friends that she’s a “one-man woman with Tiger” and that Tiger tells her “I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up to you every morning.” To which Rachel replies: “You can’t – you have a wife and two kids.” Tiger replies: “I’ll fix that!”
*Tiger and Rachel fight because she thinks he’s seeing other women. Not his wife. Rachel also thinks, according to her friends, that Tiger is about to leave his wife for her.
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 7 2009]
Now, at first, I was like “this Rachel woman is f-cking delusional, and probably a stalker and a narcissistic self-promoter.” But now that I’ve read the whole thing, with the polygraph-approved comments from her friends, I’m kind of thinking that parts of the story might be true. I think Tiger might be having (or had) an affair with Rachel Uchitel, and that the affair might have been more than just a one night thing. But what I don’t buy is all of the rosy sentiments of “I love you, babe. It’s always going to be just you and me.” Bullsh-t. If he did say that, it was just to get a piece. I doubt he glamorized it, that stuff sounds like it’s all her. Ugh… and I liked Tiger so much. His wife is gorgeous too – and this Rachel woman is rather plain.
Here’s Star Magazine’s photo of Rachel Uchitel when she was allegedly bangin’ David Boreanaz:

This is not the first time I have read a rumor that Tiger was being less than a faithful husband.
My theory is that a man will marry a woman that he does love, one who he thinks will be a good wife and mom.
Once that is established, and especially after the kids start coming, he craves the rush of having a new woman.
Or he has just always been a cheater kind of guy and in his mind his marriage to Elin does not mean he needs to stop.
@Kaiser: I totally agree with you that if those things were really texted, it was in the eyes of lust and not really meaning he would ditch the wife and kids for her.
I mean, I guess that is always possible, but somehow I don’t see it.
I think Tiger likes his family at home just as it is, and then his “side dishes” on the road.
Or as it’s commonly known, having your cake and eating it too.
This bottomfeeder is obviously a fame obsessed stalker, but male celebrities often have surprisingly low standers so I wouldn’t put it past any of them to get involved with a lowlife like her.
Arrrrh, I loved Tiger Woods till I met him in person and he wasn’t as gorgeous as he is in pictures. His daughter though is so gorgeous. No I haven’t met her, just the pictures.
Re: This Racheal woman. Meh… am just tired of these star f-ing women who wanna get famous because they are stealing people’s husbands- (yeah yeah- no one steals a happily married man). But this is becoming a routine.
Boo hoo Tiger, shame on you. I believe this story. You can tell a story that is true.
I do just want to point out that beautiful women get cheated on just as “plain” women do, and that the “other woman” isn’t always an incredible stunner by society’s standards.
One of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever known was horrible in bed because she felt that it was enough for the guy to be looking at her during the act; that she didn’t have to do anything more than lie there and let him revel in her beauty. Needless to say, she went through boyfriends like no one’s business, but when I knew her, she couldn’t find anything lasting.
As for Tiger, I really hope he’s not cheating on his wife. That’s just low, and if he no longer wants to be with his wife, he should just go ahead and divorce her.
Maybe Tiger’s wife cant cook. Rachel looks like she can cook the hell out of his beef turkey.
Wow, gorgeous daughter.
Oy Vey.
Maybe it’s a golfer thing? Denmark’s best golfer Thomas Bjørn not only cheated on his wife (they have two little children too); he also ended up getting his mistress pregnant and has been taken to court because he didn’t want to own up to it. Classy!
Meh.
I didn’t believe the David Boranez thing, because that photo just looks like proof they were giddy at a party together. Which isn’t an affair. He looks like he’s just posing with a fan.
With Tiger, wasn’t there a rumour of a celeb-golfer doing the dirty earlier on this year? Polygraphs aren’t that reliable, which is why they’re generally not admissible as evidence. Why this silly tramp wants to be known as the next Rebecca Loos is anybody’s guess (she went through most of the tennis circuit before Beckham and hooked up with Jenny Simizu-sp?- after). She had a bit of a career as a celeb, but it was hardly lasting.
Wow, she is quite the star f**** lately.
The sad thing is, when will these celeb men learn that these women are going to talk and if not directly to the press, then to their big mouthed girlfriends, who have no loyalty when it comes to a check being waved in front of their faces.
I would normally call B.S on a story like this, but given the fatc that his lawyer has made a comment about him “possibly having met her at a club”, that leads me to believe there is something to this that they are preparing to cover up. If he wasn’t guilty, why even make a statement that he met her at all?
On my club going days, I met lots of people, and wouldn’t know them again if they were sitting right next to me. He obviously knows her a little better than he is willing to admit.
Typical, ego driven athlete.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Tiger’s wife was a nanny not a model
Nordegren and her twin sister Josefin had been working as au pairs for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik when he introduced her to Woods during the 2001 British Open.
@ Jag…
Did you miss the whole affair between Steve Phillips and Brooke Hundley? Brooke, the other woman, is FAR beyond plain, she’s downright ugly.
On the Steve Phillips thread, I felt like we had basically established that there are men who are habitual cheaters (or sex addicts) and they actively seek out less attractive women because they believe they will have low enough self esteem not to mention the affair, or cause a scandal that could ruin the man’s public reputation.
I have no idea what the point of the beautiful woman being bad in bed story was… How could you know what she did behind closed doors? Also, I think it’s safe to say the story is not applicable to this case, as Elin Nordegren is not going through “boyfriends like no one’s business.” Tiger knew what he was getting into, they were together for several years before getting married.
Ok here is the deal, I am sick and tired of people using a polygraph as their personal Snopes.com. The women who took the polygraph probably did tell the truth but it is the truth as they were told it by this Rachel woman, a small distinction but important because unless they with their own eyes saw them engaged in the physical aspect of the affair or heard actual conversations between the two principals then they are only repeating as truth what they were told! That being said I believe the affair because I don’t think men are particularly faithful to their wives and this Rachel person seems to love the married ones. Bad cess on Tiger for cheating and I hope this woman gets what is coming to her as well, shame on both of them for tearing up a home with children in it.
And now I immediately find BOTH stories full of crap.
Same woman, REALLY? do they think we are that stupid…
Wait. Of COURSE they do.
This woman is a wannabe star f*****, but that “might have met her in a club” comment sounds iffy.
The friends may have passed polygraphs, but Rachel hasn’t taken one (unless I read the article wrong – it was rather painful to read, so I skimmed). She could just be feeding her friends a line of bullshit. Or not. Ever since the giggling fart incident my opinion of Tiger as a man has been declining. He’s probably lived his whole life focused on his game, not on his integrity. This may change that.
Elin was a model. I’ve seen pictures of her modeling gigs. A lot of what she did was swimsuit stuff, which is how she got all tangled up in a stupid “scandal” a couple of years ago when someone Photoshopped her head from one of her modeling shoots onto a nude model or topless model or whatever.
I don’t know if I believe this story or not. I want to say no, mainly because I don’t know where he’d find the freaking time. He’s reportedly a demon for practicing and working out and I don’t know, I’m looking at him with rose colored glasses, and thinking he spends a lot of good time with his kids at least.
Why would the giggling fart incident make you not like Tiger, crash2GO1? Just curious. I thought it was a little bizarro, but he’s just a guy and nearly every guy I know thinks farts are the funniest thing ever next to beer belches. Some guys are just that immature.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell (are you on Datalounge using the same name?), what plastic surgery? No, I don’t think he’s a friend of Dorothy. Not everyone is gay.
@Firestarter: The difference with Rachel – as opposed to your normal club going ho – is that she’s a promoter. It’s essentially your job to sit and flirt with whatever VIP might be in your bar. So that could be why his lawyer said they may have met at a club, especially if he was paid an appearance fee to be there.
this story doesn’t work for me.
This is Tiger Woods. A man with focus and dedication. When I think of his dad, Earl Woods — who died not long ago — called a Best Friend to His Son in the headlines — Tiger is probably still experiencing a lot of grief about losing his dad to this day.
The whole idea of getting involved with a woman who would throw herself at him — the way she sounds — just doesn’t fit. More likely, he’s more of a family man.
isn’t this the same paper that says vampires are real and that Obama is a space alien?
Snowball, I’m not sure. Nearly all men think farts are the funniest thing on earth, and I think nearly all men are little boys. Maybe I should be more forgiving, but I’m not.
crash2GO2, I understand. I used to just love Vincent D’Onofrio.. until he got veneers. I have nothing against veneers, and truthfully, his teeth were, uh, far from perfect. But no matter what he’s in now, I can’t watch it because he totally lost some points with me by caving in and getting those dang veneers.
I try not to read anything about my other two man-crushes, Eric Bana and Daniel Craig. It would crush me not to be able to watch them because they laugh at farts, lol. I prefer to think of both of them as gods who don’t use the facilities, because really, once you have an image of a guy farting or pooping, the glow is gone.
;-P
Giggling fart incident?! I’ll be Googling that…
As for cheating, who knows – BUT as for his drive and dedication, I do want to mention that people who are extremely successful and driven are not always the most well-rounded or “emotionally intelligent” people. Ok, I’ll just say it – men who are highly successful in a very specific area are often self-obsessed, emotionally stunted dolts.
I would imagine the National Enquirer has probably verified this substatially. Celebs are winning big $$’s for slander and defamation. I find it incredible that the National Enquirere is accurate on some of the dirtiest actions of over-inflated egos aka “celebrities”. When my grandmother would buy those rags I would be like, “Grandma, you know that stuff is a pack of lies.” That was the old days. Tigers ppl should not have responded at all. Tigers wife may have something to say about how truthfull and upfront she wants her husband to be. She ma say “Look you Jack A**, you cheated, you fess up.” Might prevent it from happening again. Tiger………..it is very difficult for a marriage to recover from infidelity. Shame on you.” Too bad his father isn’t alive. He would shake his butt up! I’m sorry for you Mrs. Tiger Woods and children. XOXO to you.
rachel is very ashley dupre…
I doubt this story is true. Tiger is very focused and private. I can’t imagine that he would have an affair with some random partygirl type, especially during a tournament.
Snowball, us men only think OUR farts are funny. Just to clear that up. The proof will be in the pudding here in a couple of days. If Tiger doesn’t come out vigorously against this woman with lawyers blasting away, then you know he did the deed. He has way too much money and influence to have to take any supposed slander such as this.
Their little girl is adorable.
didn’t she allegedly end it with Boreanaz b/c she felt bad that he was cheating on his wife or something like that? so she has guilt issues being with married men who have children but not only was she supposedly screwing two of them, she
continued boning Woods even after ending it with Boreanaz on ethical grounds?
I don’t think Elin’s last name is Norgegren, that translates to Norway-branch in Swedish and…people aren’t called that here.
Nordegren, as a previous poster wrote, sounds about right.
Elin was a gold-digger anyway. And you know what they say, when you marry for money you earn every penny. Tiger has never been faithful to her, he always has had pieces on the side. Hope the money is worth it, Elin. LOL.
1. If a tabloid claims they ran polygraph tests, can’t they be lying? I mean they are a tabloid, their business is lie telling.
2. Even so, the polygraph questions are of what she said to friends. So while the tests passed and the sources may not have been lying it doesn’t mean what she was saying to them was even true. I’ve known some delusional story tellers in my life.
3. If he is cheating like that he’s a scumbag as is she.
I am so tired of people thinking that if a woman is gorgeous, it’s not even imaginbable that he will cheat on them. It has nothing at all to do with looks. Halle Berry is gorgeous and it didn’t exclude her from marrying men who were unfaithful to her.
Sorry, but there are so many women who seem to think that beauty will exclude them from this. And they usually get an ugly rude awakening. The issue is with the cheater, not whether or not the wife or mistress is pretty enough or more beautiful than blah, blah, blah.
It seems as if people (both men and women) are only as faithful as their options. Looks are like secondary.
Having said that though, I find it disgusting if this is true. But shocked? No way. I’ve sort of felt all along that he is not faithful. In fact I think the only person I will be sort of shocked to hear of as being a cheater in the sports field, would be Roger Federer or Pete Sampras. Anyone else is suspect. 🙂
@Jag – I wish I had read the comments before posting. You pretty much summed it up.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Rich and famous men are always attractive to some women or goldiggers, that’s a fact, it takes a strong man to reject so much attention and seductions on a daily or weekly basis.
Imagine if your “regular” husband was in this position and you didn’t have your day or week (sexually)…….not saying that all men are like that but it happens all the time, so this story wouldn’t surprise me at all !!!
What’s the use of sleeping with somebody famous if you can’t brag about it to your friends afterwards ?
I had a friend who always was against infidelity in a very big way, she hated everyone who cheated sexually or emotionally on their partners with a vengeance….until she slept with a famous married singer while he was on tour in Europe(Amsterdam), she couldn’t wait to tell everybody the dirty details and was ecstatic !!!
When i confronted her about her own issues and valeus she just waved them away because he was lonely on tour and they couldn’t resist each other ???
@ crash2GO2 i wouldn’t care if this singer made a record full with fartsongs….LOL
Now i can’t even listen to his songs anymore the guy gives me the creeps in a big way, even when he gushes about his precious wife on famous talkshows…he is the new “Buddy X” to me(famous Neneh Cherry song about Lenny Kravitz in the 90’s)
Tiger has a beautiful family he should concentrate on that or maybe he has a special agreement with his wife that nobody knows about ?
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Calm down with a little Bailey’s and let me tell you a story, that ends with: “..she got a huge-mongous-normous settlement and lived happily ever after.” The story goes like this: “A nice girl with an eye for rich athletes/TV personalities/musicians/movie actors marries after a very loooooong engagement. And then she finds life isn’t so rosy.”
It’s easy to pass a polygraph test when you believe what’s happening. Rachel was getting texts she said were from Tiger. She told her friend and her friend said that Rachel was getting texts from “Tiger”. There’s little room there for doubt when it’s your friend saying these things.
When a celebrity has sex with someone outside their marriage, it is not cheating. It’s a perk. Especially when the celeb in question makes $100 million+ per year.
“where da white wimmin at?”
I’m pretty meh on this story, but I’d like to point out two things:
1. Polygraphs can be cheated.
2. The polygraphs were from Rachel’s friends, repeating what she told them. If she lied to them, then of course they’d pass a polygraph.
Snowball, yeah I guess it kind of took the romantic glow out of my vision of him. *giggle* Once my rose colored glasses were off, I was like, ‘meh’.
What is Wrong with these men???! OMG, does anyone have any self respect anymore?! And what about that ugly skeeze, bottom feeder? I wonder what Boreanaz and Tiger think about her now!!!!! Guess she doesn’t really care about her career anymore! What a PIG!!!!!
This is true, I’m sure of it. Dumb, rich, celebrities think they can get away with sh$% like this, like they are entitled….What goes around Comes AROUND people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elin was a nanny & a model.
All I want to say is that girl is ADORABLE. I mean just gorgeous.
Even if this is true, I doubt that Elin will leave Tiger. More than likely he’ll just go out and buy her something incredibly expense to “ease her pain” and tell her, “he’s sorry”. As they say, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”.
To be perfectly frank, fidelity within a marriage is much more of “an ideal” than a reality. Wives are almost just as likely to cheat as husbands. Sometimes spouses cheat when they are bored or unhappy with other aspects of their lives and not necessarily dissatisfied with their marriages. Perhaps a little marriage counseling will do the trick. I really like Tiger Woods and I pray that he and his wife can work things out. Sometimes it takes a situation such as this for couples to really sit down and “clear the air”, so to speak.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put it past ANY man to fuck around on his mate. NEVER. Oh, and did I mention NEVER? Women as well, for that matter, but especially men. There is scarcely such a thing as “not the type” as even men who expouse conservative and monagamous values are not immune to the extramarital daliance. It’s like as soon as you get too busy to reinforce their egos and validate their greatness, they go will go find someone who will…even for just a hour. Many won’t willingly leave their wives, no doubt, because they always need a crowbar. Babies. I realize that not all men are like this but a great many are.
Then one must take into account that men of prestige are worse. Why waste time with morality when you afford not to be concerned with it? Trust that their chief concern will ALWAYS be their own personal power. As for the woman; she’s replaceable and often is, indeed, replaced. They’re often golddiggers anyway.
So, Tiger is really a Pig (my apologies to swine everywhere….). This is such a poor reflection on his parents. When you throw away your integrity, you have nothing. A vow is a vow. Was screwing around with a tramp really worth throwing everything important away?
Actually, when you look at surveys on this (real ones, like the National Opinion Research Center), cheating is not as common as you’d might think from reading the tabloids and these gossip sites. Of course it is something people tend to lie about although the surveys are anonymous. And I’m betting celebrities have the genes for wandering eyes, more than the rest of us.
In actual fact… Elin (who is from lindingö in stockholm) was NOT a model..she was a nanny for jesper parnivick ..a well know swedish golfer. That is how she met Tiger whilst living in the US as parnevicks nanny. She was once or twice in a “boyz” mag Café… i dontthink that should constitute a modellig career.
OMG! He cheated with a woman who makes duckface in pics?
He’s got such a beautiful family! Why would he jeopardize it for such a skank like that? What an idiot!
Constant duckface at that.
If this happened, I assume that he lost his way after the death of his father, who seemed to be a pretty strong moral compass in his life.
OTOH, I love the way Celebitchy put this item next to the one about this woman supposedly having an affair with David Boreanaz. It makes both stories look like BS.
Oh, and Kathie’s comment is right on. The polygraph can reflect, at best, the honesty of the person being examined, but not the truth of the matter.
No surprise.
What a thing to wake up to. I have no, no, none, nothing, no respect for the (I cannot even find a name for her, she is just rotten). I don’t say Tiger is okay with this if he did do it because it would be wrong….but that woman, I throw her in the garbage with all the trash ever…
Newsflash — Tiger seriously injured in car crash. I hope his girlfriend won’t be calling him.
Well, I don’t know if this is all just a wild rumor, but, yes, pretty much, most men will cheat, , that’s why as a woman, I have decided to stay single, not sexually active (to stay disease free), and avoid the worries of what might my man be doing when I am not around. I can’t deal with that kind of stress. I am almost 40, been there, done that, marriage, divorce, bad boyfriends, domestic violence cheating.. It’s all too exhausting, takes to much work to keep a man. I plan to live out the rest of my life peacefully and gracefully. This story is a perfect example of why I am, the way I have become. I hope it is all a rumor, but if not, just confirms from my life experience, why letting a man get too close, can be mentally and physically destructive. Who needs all that stress, life is hard enough!
BTW, he and Elin have a gorgeous little girl, she looks exactly like Tigers mother from Thailand.. She’s a real cutie pie;).
Yeah, I just saw where Tiger was in a wreck. The story is odd. He was only going 35 and hit a fire hydrant. They say his air bags didn’t deploy.
Rachel Uchitel is one of the biggest sluts on both coasts. She’s a doorman or rather girl for nightclubs and sleeps around like you would not believe. Ellen is no peach, but Rachel is really bottom of the barrel
I live in Orlando (obviously) and I heard a good story about the dog Tiger Woods years ago – right before he married Elin he was cheating with another hot little blonde. Anyway, when I heard he plowed into a fire hydrant & tree last night at 2:30am backing out of his driveway, I knew there must be trouble in Islesworth Paradise! The S must have hit the fan last night when this article came out!
Elin, Brandi Cibrian and Kate Goselin should bag these dogs for every cent and then make there own “Divorced Moms Club” showing the camera “Look what he bought me today” and snuggling up to hot young cabana boys. YEAH BABY! I’ll watch!
I was married to a Norwegian Nanny for twenty five years. Great gal. She took care of the kids first last and always. She called today from Norway and informed me that that “iron” that freed Tiger will sell for a bundle on eBay.
Interesting that Woods is an educated, successful man and yet he only hooks up with uneducated women.
Hmmmmm, argument – really pissed – leaving house – she chases him with golf club in hand – check mate!
Elin was letting herself go. The babies aged her, and she looks washed up. In her recent pictures she is plain looking, not at all attractive. She looks dirty like a street person. She already has wrinkles around her mouth and she’s so young. From the looks of the photos I’m sure she doesn’t bother to dress up. You’d think that someone with her disposable income would bother to look after herself.
Hey I always new that boy had no class. But I bet that his married honey stays for the dough.
Anyway he needs to keep his putter in his bag
@Rania- Are you serious with that comment of yours? As if that is a legitimate reason for a man to cheat.
No wonder women go to such ridiculous lengths to look good, when people like you make comments like that.
Sorry, but when you take your marital vows, it does say ” For better or for worse” That means in all facets of that marriage!
She looks a hell of a lot better than the disgusting tramp he is alleged to have fooled around with.
Comments like yours really tick me off, because it implys that she may not be the best looking woman (in your opinion), so therefore it is understandable that he cheated on her. She is the mother of his children and his wife, there is no understanding about it. If you don’t like someone’s looks, then you shouldn’t have married them. It isn’t as if he is a Jon Hamm himself!
I hate how people base everything on looks. It is immature and totally ignorant!
At least he’s doing a beautiful women unlike Steve Phillips.
Sorry but the kids won’t be all that. Tiger isn’t very handsome.
@Walter- Oh yeah, that makes this situation sooooooo much better!
Hey, as long as the man cheating on his wife does it with a beautiful woman (frankly, I think she looks cheap and hard) it makes it okay! Go Tiger, you the man!
Who is Steve Phillips? Furthermore, who is he hosing?
normally cheating is wrong but in a relationship like this its ok
why should he be faithful when the only reason she married him was for his money?
she is getting what she wants so she has no right to be upset.
@Damnfine- And you know this, how????
Kevin, Steve Phillips is that ESPN guy who got caught doing the nasty with a woman who also worked at ESPN. She was quite plain and to be kind, dumpy. At least in the pictures they released. And his wife was quite pretty.
Not that Wikipedia is the source to end all sources, but even they report that Elin was a model.
All these “she’s a gold digger who got what she deserves,” comments are making my head hurt. It could just as easily be, “she’s a genuinely sweet and nice woman who married Tiger because both were in love. She gave birth to two of his children because she envisioned a happy future with Tiger. And Tiger is a dick because he was bored or just an ass, and he cheated on the one woman who loved him the most.”
It could just as easily be that. We have no idea what goes on in their marriage because they choose to keep their personal life very personal. Well, until now.
sorry you are right
i was being overly cynical
perhaps it is true love so i shouldn’t judge
i take back what i say, sorry!
but you can understand why a person can be cynical about these things
@Damnfine- No need to apologize, I just think it is unfair to assume she was a goldigger. She didn’t come from a dirt poor family, in fact her mother, I think was a politician in Sweden. Her family didn’t have Tiger Woods money, but he didn’t have Tiger Woods money when he was younger either.
I am fairly cynical myself (if you have ever read my posts) but I do believe that some people meet and marry for love and not money. That is the sad thing when a woman marries a wealthy man, everyone thinks it’s for the money, hence she is bad for marrying him.
It kind of sends the message that money dictates who you should marry. Love should dictate that. I don’t know if she is a greedy witch or not, but he fell in love with her for some reason, so that should be reason enough to assume there was love between them. I am certain Tiger protected his empire very nicely.
Take a good look at Tiger, it’s obvious she married him for the money, it’s the same old story about a young girl making stupid decisions then trying to make it work but the reality hits and turns to rage when she finds out how arrogant a self-obsessed sporting fanatic can become. Tiger’s always been wound too tight and it all spun out last week.
Shame shane shane on these ladies. They could care less about a lovely wife and mother. How can they live with themselves? Have they no conscience? Do they only think of money and fame?
Tiger’s wife is so beautiful and educated and does not deserve this.
This is a sad sad time for a family and these women can’t get enough publicity!
I am surprised that FOX news is even reporting on this stuff. Shame, shame shame.
Never underestimate ‘The Tiger’. Do you think someone that brilliant in their chosen profession, a profession that requires an extraordinary level of insight and control, and to be able to maintain the highest level for such a long period of time would suddenly lose it like that and not realize the potential repercussions if the media got wind of it? Tiger understands control better than most and that kind of carelessness for someone like him is inconsistent with his outward character on a number of different levels. I’ll bet Mr Woods knew exactly what he was doing and the driving force, which we may no doubt discover over time, might be reasons for him that are much more significant than having an affair -that just makes for effective publicity and a good deterrent. Prepare for the possibility of seeing less of the public Tiger Woods in the future.
I’D do the same if I had $300mil and not so goodlooking. bang a few skunks.Who cares? I bet he does porn stars as well. Enjoys it while it lasts. And please, he’s a golfer. He just shows up,smiles and waves a stick.Throws a ball through some trees. Guess he ‘s bored of golf as well.
Whether you are unfaithful or not depends a lot of personality and character. In Tiger’s case he is just the kind who would do it. He likes beautiful women, he likes to get what he wants and worse, he is charming, adroit and can lie so well! Its nothing to do with his stardom, he is like that and the way it looks like now always will be, at least until he gets old!
Does it matter? No. Do I care? No. None of anyones business but Tigers and Elins.Maybe she wasn’t giving the attention and sex that Tiger needs. Why not ask what she does when he is out of town. Is she the pure,honest,faithful wife. If you don’t know the complete story shut the hell up and stay out of it.
I cannot believe this guy. What a a-hole! If you are unhappy get counseling, if that doesn’t work, get divorced, but don’t drag your family through the mud.
I am sick to death of these celebrity “role models”, clearly a lot of them have severe emotional problems. They don’t belong on a pedestal, they belong on a therapy couch. That’s my 2 cents.
Tiger is probably a sex addict judging from the 10 women (so far) who have come forward. This is not discreet, it’s lots of casual sex.
I am in the entertainment business and I know many famous actors and actresses, believe me the cat is out of the bag on most of the notorious cheaters.
I say, he made his bed let him lie in it.
Yeah, he screwed up bigtime and he may lose his family and his happy home and his career. I think it’s time to back off a little and give him and his family some space to recover and regroup. http://www.uglywomansguide.com/index.php/2009/12/tiger-woods-and-schadenfreude-and-mudita/
How did other people’s marriages become everyone’s business anyway?
I’ve read this story a million times and I still get just as disgusted as the first time I read it. Tiger is a low life, gutter rat who deserves all the bimbos he has layed. How low can he get? Of course he didn’t go after classy women. They would have turned him down in a heart beat. Tiger you nasty slime ball. You are the lowest of the lowest! This is proof that you respect the game more than your family. How sad your kids will grow up only to learn their dad is a piece of crap!
He should have used an app to keep his contacts private, something like bbCalc for the iPhone!
Which is definitely fairly essential for what I’m appear at now, thanks a bunch.
