The Sun’s story, headlined “No birdies in front of kids, Tiger,” says the 34-year-old Woods has agreed to keep single women away from his three-year-old daughter Sam and one-year-old son Charlie. Woods can introduce his children to one of his lady loves only if he marries her, The Sun says. In return, 30-year-old Elin Woods (formerly Nordegren) gets a record payout in a celebrity divorce. Furthermore, only married women not romantically linked to Woods will be allowed around the children — plus female members of staff known to Nordegren. One caveat, though, for the wronged wife: she can never speak publicly about her wayward husband’s flings with, among others, socialite Rachel Uchitel, reality star Jaimee Grubbs, porn star Joslyn James and more than a dozen other women. "Elin is desperate to protect the children from the womanizing side of their father,” a unnamed friend is quoted as saying. "Tiger's main fear is her telling her story after he's rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter." A former model, the Swedish Nordegren gets double the sum she originally sought, after her lawyers proved that Woods was worth much more than the $1 billion US she thought. Her friend says in the article: "Elin's legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets. "The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life — even if Tiger dies first — or she'll lose the lot." The friend adds: "Everything's signed. Elin is ready to file for divorce at Orlando County Court. She expects to in the next seven days." Nordegren gets sole physical custody of their children but they will split legal custody. That means Woods will share decisions about their future — so Nordegren will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden. Woods will be able to see the kids for up to half of each week. He can renegotiate the custody agreement in five years." Bullshit.....
Tiger Woods is definitely not a "brotha" no way would a brotha would not go down fighting harder than. But if I ever become rich and famous I will stay clear of Swedish women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vwNcNOTVzY
congratulations to elin on her settlement...the woman is a saint for the way she handled all of this... :smt061
A travesty of the highest order, Tiger should be ashamed of himself for many reasons, his behavior to cause this situation and agreeing to a divorce settlement of this magnitude.
I'm working on it trust me. What bugs me is the idea that a court would award three quarters of a persons life time earnings to another based on infidelity is plain wrong. He didn't abuse his kids and he didn't abuse her. Half would of been ridiculous but three quarters says what stay faithful until the divorce and you're lucky to leave with half of what you earned completely and totally by yourself. Yeah yeah the image bs that women on here brought up was a good arguement until a friend of mine made a great point by saying all of Tigers endorsements which was the bulk of his money were offered to him because he was a winner and had those endorsements long before his wife came into the picture. Its just a sad day. Another story that tells young people every single fucking thing is entirely about litigation.
yes, because one Swedish woman speakes for all Swedish women. They are all exactly the same?? no stereotypin there bro. So according to your logic, I should not date brothas with a mix of Asian, because they all have 20 mistresses. :smt043 and besides, Tiger probably let this one go as he got SILENCE for the rest of his and her life. So fighting??? He could probably gotten away WAY cheaper, but he payed for silence - good move. Do I agree on that crazy sum of money? Heck no, but I guess that is what Silence and keeping the kids in the US was worth to him. Also, the smarter promisse if you become rich and famous is probably to NOT cheat on any woman with 20 mistresses. Do you seriously think nationality has anything to do with it?? If you fucked 20 mistresses, you bet your ass you will pay for it
Did you read the post she got 750 million and last time I checked he's worth 1 billion so what's 75% of a billion. I could be wrong
I think you misread my post, I was saying that the settlement was a travesty and that Tiger should be ashamed of himself for agreeing to it, and being dumb enough to put himself in this situation in the first place. In my estimation she should have got *maybe* $20 million, which is still MUCH more than she would have made as nanny/model.
There was an article in Fortune last year that said Tiger's net worth was approaching $1 Billion, when asked about it, he claimed that he was not a billionaire, the numbers reported in the story were inflated, and that he most assuredly did not have a billion in cash.
My apologies sir and I'm in complete agreement with you. He should be dropped by his sponsers again. A true winner would have fought this tooth and nail. And I know women think this was a blow for women and infidelity but if anything more young successful vollege educated guys like me won't even consider marriage. What's the point if things end and you can lose most of what you worked for to someones hurt feelings
When asked he would not say, understandable. I would be interested in knowing what assets are included in the $750 million settlement.
I serioulsy dont approve of that stupid sum of money. But equaling that to Tiger not fighting is silly. We dont know that... he got Silence forever. and Elin will stay in the states so he can be with his kids.. maybe he thought it was worth it? Maybe he thought that was worth it or he could have chosen to pay less and allow her to spill the beans. At that point it was a pur ebusiness decission "what could Elin make out of all this if she sold it" - that is how the lawyers would calculate it... I have no respect for either of them... and I want to make it abundantly clear I think 750 million is insane! and oh, I found a blurb on TIgers net worth: Tiger Woods Net Worth How much does Tiger Woods make? Tags: Richest Athletes, Richest Golfers, richest sports stars, tiger, tiger woods, tiger woods career earnings, tiger woods divorce, tiger woods endorsement earnings, tiger woods net worth, tiger woods salary $900 million -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiger Woods is perhaps the greatest athlete of all time and as a result has a personal net worth of $900 million and an annual salary of $85 million. The accolades he has earned are too numerous to list in their entirety but here are some highlights: 14 professional major tournaments, 71 PGA Tour events, he has been ranked #1 for more consecutive weeks than any other player, he has the lowest scoring average of all time, he has been crowned PGA Player of the year 9 times, Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the year twice, AP Male Athlete of the year 4 times and on and on… Not only is Tiger a champion on the golf course, he is also a champion in the wallet. In fact Tiger Woods is also on a fast track to be the first billionaire athlete ever. So how did he earn all those millions? Tiger’s first big source of revenue, not surprisingly, is from winning tournaments. Since turning pro in 1996 Tiger has earned $92.8 million from 239 career PGA starts. But as with most of the great athletes like Michael Jordan and Lebron James, the real bulk of Woods’ fortune comes off the green through endorsements. In his first professional year, at the tender age of 21, Tiger signed deals with Nike and Titleist worth $40 and $20 million respectively. Woods’ corporate relationships have grown at an exponential rate. He has expanded his Rolodex of sponsors to include Gatorade, American Express, Asahi, General Mills (Wheaties), Golf Digest, Rolex, Gillette, Accenture, Tag Heuer, AT&T, EA Sports, NetJets, Upper Deck, TLC Laser Eye Centers and Buick. All these deals earn Tiger well over $100 million a year aside from his tournament earnings (in 2008 he earned $128 million on endorsements alone). Gatorade has taken their relationship one step further, developing a custom branded drink for Woods called “Gatorade Tiger”. The Gatorade deal is a 5 year contract worth $100 million. Woods earns $20 million to endorse Gillette along with fellow super star athletes Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. Tiger commands $10 million to design golf courses all over the world. He has projects under way in North Carolina, Dubai and Mexico. Aside from the money he earns winning a tournament, Tiger is often paid personal appearance fees of up to $1.5 million just to show up!
