Recently, it was revealed that Tiger Woods underwent back surgery, prompting concerns and well wishes for his recovery. However, memories of the infamous sex scandal from almost a decade ago still linger, overshadowing current events.
In November 2009, news of Tiger Woods’ infidelity rocked the world, tarnishing his golf career and leading to the dissolution of his marriage with Elin Nordegren. The scandal, which involved affairs with over 100 women, including Rachel Uchitel, deeply embarrassed Woods and brought about the end of his marriage to Nordegren, with whom he shares two children, Sam Alexis and Charlie Axel.
Despite being only thirty years old at the time of her divorce, Nordegren received a substantial settlement, reportedly around $100 million. She used a portion of this settlement to purchase a multimillion-dollar mansion in North Palm Beach, which she later sold for nearly $29 million to Russell Weiner of Rockstar Energy Drink.
Following her divorce from Woods, Nordegren found love again with Chris Cline, a multibillionaire coal magnate and philanthropist. However, their relationship ended in 2017, and tragically, Cline passed away in a helicopter crash in 2019.
Despite their tumultuous past, Nordegren and Woods have managed to co-parent amicably for the sake of their children. Nordegren has even formed a friendly relationship with Woods’ current girlfriend, Erica Herman.
In a 2016 interview, Woods expressed his commitment to co-parenting with Nordegren and highlighted the improved communication between them. However, reflections on his past indiscretions prompt questions about his behavior during their marriage.
While Nordegren has remained relatively quiet about the scandal, she once referred to their divorce as “the wild storm of my personal life” and displayed a sense of humor about the situation. Despite the challenges she faced, Nordegren’s strength and resilience shine through, earning her admiration as a queen who can maintain her sense of humor even in the face of adversity.
