I too, think that Tiger just let this one go, he just wanted it to be over and move on with the least public damage as possible, so that he can eventually start making those large endorsement checks.
I don't know how divorce works--never been through, don't plan too, and I'm not a divorce lawyer, but I'll be damned if let a women take more than half my money. You hear a lot that the reasoning for large settlements on behalf of a spouse-women that involves children, is usually
a) Because the wife’s job is to rise the children and she doesn't work (because they decided it should be that way.
b) She has become acclimated to that standard of living, and
c) The money obviously is for the support of the children
But the bottom line is she's not with Tiger anymore, she shouldn't be compensated so that she can still live like she did with him. She didn't put much physical effort into helping him get that money, and the last time I checked; it doesn't take 750mil to raise a child financially. Man, I would like to think that you could hide money in these cases, I would have given my money away to people before I let you just take it from me. If you could setup contracts to give people your money, then they give it back after you’re divorced would be nice, something, I would have tried all avenues, legal or not
p.s. I know he was in the wrong, but does that mean that every time you fuck up/fight/have a disagreement about stuff (possible relationship ending) with a spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever you want to call it, you should give them a payout to smooth things over
