"I’m suddenly sympathetic to a former nanny who had the opportunity to marry a rich man and took it."

Wait a minute. It's not like she was a nanny without opportunity. She comes from a well-to-do family herself. Her dad is successful, and her mother is a well-known politician in Sweden. She, and her sister, were acting as nannies during their "gap year" - a year many Europeans take-off between high school and college.

She was going to, and might have, attend college and make a career as a child psychologist. She spurned Tiger for some time before finally relenting to go out with him. And, that was only after her "boss", Jesper Parnevik, intervened on Tiger's behalf and suggested that she should go out with him. Parnevik explained just last week that this is the reason he said he was so disappointed in Woods - because he personally vouched for his character.

Going to? Might have?

Nothing stopped her from pursuing it.

Sorry, no.

I don’t know the woman. And apparrently I never knew Woods either. I’m not going to invest sympathy in either of them knowing so little of their characters.

The extent I know is that Tiger is a cheat. Beyond that I don’t care. Divorce. She’s entitled to something but not everything. Not half. The kids should be taken care of course. The only thing that would change my mind is if he passed on some sexual disease to her. Then I’d say have at him. Take it all.

Yes. This “gold digger” nonsense is quite maddening. At least get the facts straight before throwing the woman into the gutter like some are doing here. She comes from a VERY well-to-do family and spurned him for some time with his advances.

Thank you! I have been floored at those on this thread calling Elin a “gold-digger” and worse. I despise the sort of woman that these people are painting Elin to be which she is not... not even close.

I did not think I would ever live to hear myself say this, but I hope she takes him for every dime he has. Tiger was very lucky to have found a woman of her caliber, then turned around and cheated on her with the type of woman one would expect him to be exposed. He is despicable.
