If she wants half the money, she should have played and won half the tournaments that Tiger won, instead of him.
She should get something reasonable plus of course a lot of child support, but it is unrealistic to claim that she contributed to half of the earnings by Tiger.
Hate to break it to you, but his money was mostly earned in advertising. The value of his name was increased by his “wholesome, family image” that he cultivated by marrying and having children.
Most of his earnings come from endorsement contracts and a good portion of that was based on his goody two shoes family man image, courtesy of his wife Elin, so yes, she contributed heavily to his earnings.
Especially since it is now clear he cheated consistently and constantly through the entire marriage.
True; but Tiger also shouldn’t have been acting like a tomcat in heat.
Here's hoping in the future he stays with hookers and lowlifes and never remarries. That way he won't have to get divorced...
To globally humiliate the woman like that? She deserves 60% and I am a man. She appears to have been totally innocent and a good wife.
He is a serial adulterer, serial purchaser of the services of prostitutes and possibly a steroid user. It he is a juicer then he is also a cheater. He created this nightmare.

If the news reports are true, Tiger engaged in unprotected sex with multiple women including prostitutes. Assuming he was also engaging in unprotected sex with his wife, he was exposing her to any STD’s these women carried. Such diseases can have have serious implications including death. She apparently trusted him to preserve and protect the sanctity of their marriage which includes protecting his wife and children from harm.
If I was not married and was offered the opportunity to engage in unprotected sex with one of Tiger’s women for half of his wealth, I would not take the risk. I therefore do not see half of his wealth as an unreasonable penalty for exposing her to dangerous diseases and violating her trust that he would live by his wedding vows.
Sorry but the laws regarding division of property were no doubt spelled out crystal clear for him before he got married. The rules apply the same for golf stars as they do for businessmen who build their companies and subsequent fortunes. If you don’t like the law, fine. But Tiger deserves no special exception.
What about the fact that HE broke the marriage vows and exposed his wife to public humiliation andpossible diseases?
I hope she gets it all.
It is reasonable to say she was used by Tiger during those 5 years to enhance his marketable image.
Most of Tiger’s $$$ come from his endorsements. No image - no ad money.
Add in the fact it is becoming more and more apparant he actually committed fraud.
Convinced this woman he was serious about marriage- family.
He clearly never had any intention of being a “husband”.
Most of his money came from endorsements and she was the prop he used to appear the sqeaky clean person he wasn't. She was half his image.
She has more than earned it and never humiliated him the way he has done to her!
Tiger is a jerk and a sicko.
She should go for it. What angers me most about this whole sordid affair is that he put her and her children at risk for AIDS.
The law says otherwise.
She should get half. Tiger exposed her to the possibility of getting a STD by sleeping with all those women.
