WHO IS TIGER WOODS’ EX-WIFE? ALL ABOUT ELIN NORDEGREN

admin1 month ago1 month ago123 mins


Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were married for nearly six years before their
highly publicized split in 2010

Elin Nordegren is more than just Tiger Woods’ ex — she’s also his friend.

 

The Swedish-born former model was married to the professional golfer, with whom
she shares two children, for nearly six years before they divorced in 2010 amid
reports of Woods’ infidelity. Eight years later, a source told PEOPLE that
the pair were co-parents and close pals.

 
Tiger Woods’ 2 Kids: Everything to Know
 

“They’re friends now,” the source said. “Everything that happened in the past is
in the past. They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the
kids. So they get along really well. Tiger says really great things about Elin.
He never complains about her, ever. … The kids love them both.”

 

Here’s everything to know about Elin Nordegren and her marriage to golf
superstar Tiger Woods.

 

 


SHE HAS AN IDENTICAL TWIN

Nordegren has an identical twin sister named Josefin. In 2010, she told PEOPLE
that her parents never made them dress alike or otherwise conflated their
identities; instead, they encouraged both girls to be independent.

“They rarely dressed us in the same clothes, and if they did, I always wore red
and my sister always wore blue so no one would say the wrong name,” she told
PEOPLE. “Everybody knew that red equals Elin and blue equals Josefin. They cut
our hair differently and put my sister and me in different classes. Today I
appreciate that they did that. My sister has been my best friend since the day
we were born, and she is more than a best friend today.”

 

 


SHE IS A CHILD OF DIVORCE

Nordgren’s parents divorced when she was 7 years old, and she spent an equal
amount of time with each of them growing up.

 

She told PEOPLE that her childhood and her parents’ exemplary co-parenting
likely influenced her amicable post-divorce relationship with Woods. “Despite
the split, I feel like the base was still there,” she said. “My mom showed me
that it is possible to be on your own, be a mother and still pursue your career.
My father moved to Germany in 1997, and my sister and I went with him for a year
to study German and English. We did 11th grade at John F. Kennedy School in
Berlin.”

 

Nordegren continued, explaining that her parents split was for the best and
ultimately helped their children. “I really wanted my children to have a core
family,” she said. “However, if there is no trust between the parents, I think
it is better for the children that the parents split up. I am now going to do my
very best to show them that alone and happy is better than being in a
relationship where there is no trust. I want to show my kids what my parents
showed me as a child.”

 

 


SHE LOVES TO TRAVEL


JOEY FOLEY/FILMMAGIC

Nordegren was bitten by the travel bug when she was a child and cherishes her
European road trip memories to this day.

 

“Before my parents split up in 1987, they took my older brother Axel, my sister
and me everywhere,” she told PEOPLE. “My brother is 13 months older than my
sister and me, so we were like triplets growing up. We were the kind of family
that spent every little penny left over on travel. They stuffed us into a little
Fiat Panda and drove all around Europe as often as possible.”

 

Nordegren added that she’s been to every country in Europe multiple times, and
has tried to give her kids similar travel experiences. “I think you teach your
children a lot about the world when you travel,” she said.

 

 


SHE WORKED AS A MODEL AND A NANNY BEFORE MEETING WOODS


DAVID CANNON/GETTY

Though Nordegren was a swimsuit model in her teens and a nanny in her early 20s,
she never planned on making it her career.

 

“I did some modeling when I was younger. I was never very successful at it, and
I didn’t intend to pursue it. It is flattering to be called a model, but I
hardly think a few shoots in my teenage years make me a model,” she told PEOPLE
in 2010.

 

Nordegren also worked as a nanny, and even spent a year nannying for Swedish
golfer Jesper Parnevik’s children. She had originally planned to continue
studying Spanish in Barcelona, but her plans changed when she met the Parneviks
and traveled to the U.S. with them.

 

“My intent was to go back to Sweden after a year and start my psychology
studies,” she said. “‘Swimsuit model and nanny’ isn’t accurate today, but they
are things that I have done. They were both great experiences.”

 

Parnevik was actually the one to introduce Nordegren to her future husband,
Tiger Woods, though the pro golfer later said he regretted bringing the pair
together.

 

 


SHE WASN’T INTERESTED IN WOODS AT FIRST


ANDREW REDINGTON/GETTY

Part of what drew Woods to Nordegren was the fact that she had zero intention of
dating him — she only agreed to go on a single date with him to get him off of
her back, as PEOPLE reporter Steve Helling wrote in the biography Tiger: The
Real Story. In fact, Nordegren had a boyfriend back in Sweden at the time.

 

The pair had a second date, where Nordegren began to realize that she actually
liked Woods, even though he wasn’t her usual type.

 

“For the first time, Elin didn’t feel that she was with a celebrity; she felt
that she was out with a nice, normal guy,” Helling wrote. “She was surprised to
be falling for him so quickly.”

 

 


SHE AND WOODS MARRIED IN OCTOBER 2004

After dating for nearly three years, Woods and Nordegren married in Barbados in
October 2004, choosing the tropical locale for its beautiful beaches and the
privacy it afforded. Security guards kept onlookers away from the couple and
their 200 guests, which included family, friends and A-list sports stars
like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.

 

A source told PEOPLE that Woods kept his cool on the big day. “He didn’t act
like he was going to get married,” they said. “He was very relaxed, like this
was any other day for him.”

 

 


SHE SHARES TWO CHILDREN WITH WOODS


DAVID CANNON/GETTY

 

Nordegren and Woods became first-time parents with the birth of their
daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, on June 18, 2007. They chose her name as a tribute
to the nickname Woods’ father called him growing up.

 

Two years later, the couple welcomed their son, Charlie Axel Woods, on Feb. 8,
2009. The golf pro said they picked their son’s moniker because it “just fit,”
while his middle name honors Nordegren’s brother.

 

Both children spent plenty of time on the golf course growing up and were
regularly seen cheering their father on alongside Nordegren at Woods’
tournaments.

 

Charlie took after his dad and became a competitive golfer himself. The
father-son duo compete together from time to time — most recently at the PNC
Championship in December 2022. Charlie attempted to qualify for the PGA Tour in
February 2024 but came up short.

 

In March 2024, after his high school golf team won the state title in November
2023, Charlie and his teammates were presented with their championship rings.
Both Woods and Nordegren were present for the special ceremony.

 

 


WOODS’ INFIDELITY PUT HER ON AN “EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER”


ANDREW REDINGTON/GETTY

In November 2009, reports alleged that Woods had cheated on Nordegren with as
many as a dozen other women. Nordegren declined to go into the sordid details of
his alleged affairs. “I’ve been through hell,” she told PEOPLE. “It’s hard to
think you have this life, and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re
struggling because it wasn’t real. But I survived. It was hard, but it didn’t
kill me.”

 

When asked about learning of Woods’ affairs, Nordegren said: “[I was in]
absolute shock and disbelief. I felt stupid as more things were revealed — how
could I not have known anything? The word betrayal isn’t strong enough. I felt
like my whole world had fallen apart. It seemed that my world as I thought it
was had never existed. I felt embarrassed for having been so deceived. I felt
betrayed by many people around me.”

 

She said that she and Woods tried for “months and months” to repair their
relationship, but ended up calling it quits.

 

Nordegren added that her children and loved ones, including her twin sister
Josefin, helped her through that difficult time. In particular, Josefin provided
her with “emotional support” as well as help with “practical matters” following
the split.

 

 


WOODS PAID HER $100 MILLION IN THEIR DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

While some reports initially reported that Nordegren’s divorce settlement payout
from Woods was $750 million, she actually walked away from their marriage with
$100 million. It wasn’t the outcome she had ultimately wanted, though she saw
the benefits.

 

“Money doesn’t make you happy, but I have to be honest: It is making some things
easier,” she told PEOPLE. “I have the opportunity to be with my children as much
I want, and I am able to travel to see my family and also have them come here as
often as I like.”

 

Nordegren added: “I was always going to have a career — with or without Tiger.
Now that I will not be traveling and following Tiger around to golf tournaments,
I will be able to finish my studies faster. Then I want to find a way to
contribute and make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

 

 


SHE GOT A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE AFTER HER DIVORCE FROM WOODS


STEPHEN M. DOWELL/ORLANDO SENTINEL/TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE/GETTY

Following her split from Woods, Nordegren focused more of her time on earning
her psychology degree, which she said helped her get over the divorce as well.
She took one class at a time for nine years until she graduated from Rollins
College in Winter Park, Florida, with a 3.96 GPA, in 2014. She delivered her
graduating class’ commencement address and touched on the media frenzy
surrounding her split from Woods.

 

“Education has been the only consistent part of my life the last nine years. And
it has offered me comfort. Education is one thing that no one can take away from
you,” Nordegren said.

 

She addressed her classmates directly, adding: “When you told me stories about
your full-time day jobs, about coming home to cook dinner for your families and
about making sure your children were cared for while you were attending classes,
you inspired me. … Whatever obstacle I was facing at the time, your stories and
sharing helped me put things in perspective.”

 

Nordegren also recalled that she was “unexpectedly thrust into the media
limelight” shortly after taking a communication and media course. “I should have
taken more notes in that class!” she joked.

 

Nordegren told PEOPLE that her goal with her speech was to encourage other
mothers to pursue their own education. “If I can inspire even one mom to go back
and get her degree with the message that it’s never too late, then I am happy,”
she said.

 

 


SHE HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL RELATIONSHIPS SINCE HER DIVORCE FROM WOODS

Nordegren began dating following her split from Woods. Her first post-divorce
relationship was with American financier Jamie Dingman in 2011, but they split
after less than a year together. Sources said she wasn’t ready for anything
serious at the time.

 

In 2013, Nordegren began dating West Virginia coal billionaire Chris Cline, who
was 20 years her senior. At the time, a source told PEOPLE that the pair had a
friendship that blossomed into a romance. However, the source also noted that
their relationship at the time was “nothing serious” and “casual.”

 

Nordegren and Cline were together for four years before breaking up in 2017. In
2019, Cline and his daughter, Kameron, died in a helicopter crash off the
Bahamas coast.

 

 


SHE’S ONE OF WOODS’ “BEST FRIENDS”


DAVID CANNON/GETTY

In a 2015 interview with TIME, Woods said that he spoke transparently to his and
Nordegren’s children about why they divorced.

 

“I’ve taken the initiative with the kids, and told them upfront, ‘Guys, the
reason why we’re not in the same house, why we don’t live under the same roof,
Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes,’ ” he told the outlet.

 

Woods also spoke positively of his ex. “She’s one of my best friends. We’re able
to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time,” he said five
years after they split. “We both know that the most important things in our
lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then.”

 

Woods continued: “She talks to me about her life, I talk to her about my life.
We try to help each other out on all occasions. And we work through it with the
kids, the parenting program. She is one of my best friends now, and it’s all
because of my kids. … We’ve worked so hard at co-parenting.”

 

 


SHE HAS “NO INTEREST” IN WOODS’ PERSONAL LIFE

In October 2022, Woods’ ex-girlfriend Erica Herman filed a lawsuit against the
pro golfer, claiming he owed her $30 million. News of the lawsuit hit headlines
when Herman filed a separate lawsuit in March 2023 regarding a non-disclosure
agreement she signed in August 2017.

 

A source later told PEOPLE that Nordegren has “no interest” in Woods’ personal
life or the lawsuits.

 

“This aspect of Tiger’s life is not her concern,” the insider said. “Of course,
she needs to be very confident that the children are safe and happy around
anyone that Tiger is with, especially if the romance becomes serious. To that
degree, she is very interested. But not on much else.”
