Tiger Woods and his Swedish-born wife officially divorced Monday, nine months after a car crash outside his home set off shocking revelations that the world’s most famous athlete was unfaithful.
“We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their lawyers.
No, they don’t.
The divorce was granted in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando. The couple married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son, Charlie.
Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will “share parenting” of their two children.
The divorce was finalized by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel in her chambers. The hearing only lasted only about five or 10 minutes. Woods and Nordegren were present, along with their lawyers, who needed to get back to their offices ASAP and start counting money.
Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, declined to comment when asked about the terms of settlement or if the couple had a prenuptial agreement. The petition said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and that Woods’ wife asked to have her maiden name — Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren — restored.
The couple signed a marital settlement agreement July 3 and 4, the weekend of the AT&T National outside Philadelphia,where Woods failed to break par in a PGA Tour event for the first time in 11 years.
The scandal cost Woods three major corporate sponsors worth millions, as well as costing the strip club industry billions when Woods spent two months in therapy at a Mississippi clinic, trying to save his marriage. Since returning to golf at the Masters, Woods has tied for fourth in the Masters and in the U.S. Open, both times taking himself out of contention early in the final round.
Leading experts speculate that his game has been suffering from a lack of hookers.
