Tiger Woods' wife Elin will separate from the golfing superstar after Christmas, a UK tabloid has claimed.
Quoting an unnamed close friend of Elin, the News of the World newspaper said the 29-year-old former Swedish model plans to return to Sweden and was in talks with divorce lawyers.
But she would spend Christmas with her golfing husband for the sake of their two children, it was reported.
"In the short-term they'll act like any other loving couple," the newspaper quoted the friend as saying.
"Elin won't break it all up right away. But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly."
The couple have two children, one aged two and the other 10 months old.
Woods’ public image has taken a battering over the past two weeks, with claims he has had 12 mistresses during his five-year marriage to Elin and has spent $65,000 on prostitutes.
Just yesterday Woods’ main sponsor Gillette said it would be "limiting" the role of one of the world’s richest sportsman.
In a statement last Friday Woods admitted he had been unfaithful and said he was taking an indefinite break from golf to focus on his family.
Meanwhile one of Tiger Woods' mistresses, Jamie Jungers, had told how she had sex with him on the night his father died.
Jungers said she had waited for Woods at his home while he went to visit his father in a hospice in May, 2006.
"When he came back [a few hours later], I could see he was preoccupied and worried about his dad but when we went to bed he still wanted to have sex as usual," Jungers told News of the World.
Woods then got a call saying his cancer stricken father Earl, 74, had died.
"We went to sleep. I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Then at about 3am the phone rang. It was Tiger's mum," Jungers said.
"She called to tell him that his dad had passed away. Tiger looked utterly devastated and didn't say a word. He didn't even cry but I could tell he was heartbroken."
Jungers said her six-month affair with Woods ended after he refused to lend her money. "He's a cheap f***er and he just didn't want to help me," she said.
For what, domestic infidelity? I'm sure there are a host of other PGA tour players who certainly would have an objection to that ruling...............LOL!
Yes, and it is almost as big a scandal as the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan scandal.
Not quite anything. They had to be blond and under 25, according to one report. No blacks, no Hispanics, no Orientals. Tiger himself has said he is not black. Shades of OJ and Michael Jackson.
excuse me while I wait for an actual announcement before I believe this 100%.
While I can fully believe Elin might leave him, there are two things which make me take this with a grain of salt “Unnamed Source” and “UK Tabloid”.
And I continue to be amazed how many Freepers are taking everything the UK press is saying as 100% gospel.
It's a little bit more then that. We're talking hiring prostitutes and using drugs to enhance his sexual experience and all other kinds of freaky, crazy stuff.
I'm just asking because I can see the PGA being complete hypocrites here.
Where is this in the Bible?
Ah, picayune troubles of some lucky people...
Nope, divorce for adultery is still permitted in the NT. Christ speaks:
Matthew 19:9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
Thank you. I appreciate it.
D’oh!
Stories like this bring out loons!
I thought the same thing!
Bye, bye birdie!!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said before, this guy is RADIOACTIVE.
In terms of advertisements and contracts, Woods would be hard pressed to get a job advertising for hemorrhoid cream given the destruction he has brought to his family.
Glad to see I am not the only one who saw the absurdity of such a plan.
Why do wealthy people speak and act like mental patients?
The part about his not being ‘happy’ with his wife was a device to facilitate the joke. I realize that it isn’t the case here and probably most cases. However a blanket statement about all adultery NOT being because of the spouse doesn’t hold water with me. Sometimes it just is.
Matthew 5:31–32 (NKJV)
31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
Matthew 19:8–9 (NKJV)
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
So they can separate, but not remarry or engage in relations with others because that would be adultery. Just like St. John the Baptist reproving Herod for his marriage.
