Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren have avoided contact with the public by hiding out in their family home in a Florida gated community since news of Woods' alleged affairs broke two weeks ago.
Now a source close to Nordegren's family tells Pop Tarts that the two are considering putting even more distance between themselves and Tiger's cheating scandal.
The insider says the couple is planning to leave the country “very soon.”
“Elin and Tiger are planning to temporarily move closer to Sweden, possibly to a private island, to get away from it all,” the insider said.
The news comes after Elin’s mother Barbro Holmberg, visiting from Sweden to assist her daughter during this trying time, was rushed to Florida’s Health Central hospital Tuesday morning after suffering stomach pains. She was released later in the day and reportedly returned to her daughter's house.
Despite the number of women coming forward to claim affairs with Woods, Nordegren’s family is hoping that the high-profile couple will somehow work through the scandal, the insider told Tarts.
“Elin’s family couldn’t be more devastated,” the source said. “But they want [Tiger and Elin] together for the kids’ sake.”
The family's efforts to keep it together come as more news on Tiger Woods' alleged promiscuous behavior comes to light.

“don’t move in next door to Jesper Parnevik” ??
I’m sick of reading about all this crap. The mainstream media, which unfortunately has the most viewers, is always into the stuff it shouldn’t be into, and blind to what it should be into.
Thank you.
I admit I was giving her an “out.”
(I’m sorry. I can’t keep from laughing as deranged as this situation is. No one can make up a story like this.)
Elin was Jesper's nanny when he introduced her to Tiger. He has been quite public in his disdain for Tiger.
The average European views America with disdain, particularly on cultural matters.
Not coincidentally, wealthy elites like Tiger view us minions with disdain, wanting us to buy their products while they laugh their asses off at us dummies.
Tiger will continue to make big bucks from golf and endorsements, but he'll never get over this. My household has had a ban on Nike products for years, and this latest situation is confirmation.
My 20 YO son told me a few days ago that I should give Tiger a break. I asked him, "so it's ok with you if I cheat on your mother?"
The crickets are still chirping.
His endorsements are being re-negotiated as we speak. They can really “dollar down” Tiger for some time to come.
I cannot believe she would still be with him, astounding ...
Last night I heard he was holed up on his yacht, though I don’t know if there’s any truth to that. He may also be living at the second home a mile from the one Elin and her family are staying at. I cannot imagine her and her family allowing him to stick around. He’s a bit outnumbered!
You have overlooked that there is a pre-nup agreement which might provide incentive for her to stay married to him longer.
How about that you don't know how to search.
Well, he offered her $60 mil when the first six went public,
so by my calculation, that’s $10 mil each. He’s had 4 more show up, so he’s up to $100 mil.
She already named her price.
I found this entry in a sports blog.
Open Mike
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_bianchi/In honor of fellow PGA golfer Jesper Parnevik, we now introduce our new video game called Whack-a-Tiger (go to the bottom of this blog to play). Parnevik, of course, is perturbed because he and his wife introduced Tiger to his wife Elin Nordegren, who began working for the Parneviks as a nanny in 2000. She was first introduced to Woods at the 2001 British Open and they were married in 2004. Parnevik ripped into Tiger earlier this week and even made light of the rampant rumors that Tiger suffered facial injuries not from a recent car wreck but from Elin whacking him with a 3-iron.
"I really feel sorry for Elin — since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him," Parnevik said. "We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron."
Can we now call a "bubble" on the PGA Tour? If Tiger or Phil aren't playing, there's no fan interest. Sponsors of non-Tiger tour stops are tired of paying full freight, other sponsors are leaving due to the economy. And let's face it: the average pro golfer is about as charismatic and personable as frozen halibut.
IMHO, Tiger will play an even more abbreviated schedule next year. The events he does play in will be media spectacles, but other events will enjoy MSNBC-like ratings.
The PGA Tour will suffer from its over-reliance on Tiger, and I won't shed a tear over it.
Just as the NBA became over-reliant on Michael Jordan. The NBA still hasn't recovered over a decade since he retired.
