PEOPLE.com: While more details surface about Tiger Woods's reported dalliances, the golf great's Swedish-born wife, Elin Nordegren, has yet to speak about the scandal or give any hint of her distress - beyond a frantic 911 call after her mother collapsed at Woods's Florida home Tuesday.

Saving...
Who cares! Everybody has some dirt on them! He will be better then ever when he returns to playing golf..
It is ABSOLUTELY FINE to sleep with gobs of women just don't do it after you stand up in our court systems ( before god and your family) and promise to honor another human being. She is gorgeous and kind, she should leave this loser in the dust and find a real man. I won't buy anymore Tiger products now that i know he is a liar. He should answer in court to felonious assault charges for subjecting this woman to unknown STD's and possibly HIV.
I can fully understand where you are coming from but have you stopped to think about why ben roethlisberger wasn't thrown under the bus when he was accused of rape this year?? Wasn't Kobe only accused of rape? Think on these things...
I have never cheated on my wife and never will. I have had too much of that when my first wife cheated on me
shinamoo96:Sounds like your WHOLE family is a family of CHEATS!
I hope Elin and Tiger wants to make a go of it. It will take true forgiveness by Elin and true changes by Tiger if there is a chance. It will make them a stronger couple having survived the test if they do.
NO. Once he starts he can't stop. Oh they will for a while, then back to their old tricks
If this woman stays with Woods, she is out of her freaking mind, if all of these alleged affairs are true.
Or if any one of them is true, for that matter.
I have heard if she divorces him she stands to receive about 300 million. She will be set for life ... many times over.
She should concern herself with making a new life for herself and her children somewhere else with someone else.
Tiger is pu**y whipped ... but good!
The only reason Tiger Woods has stopped was because he has gotten caught.
Imagine, given the number of alleged mistresses, in the time frame reported of the additional numbers of women Tiger would have been with.
It adds up.
Why can't she just ignore it? It's not as though Tiger were in love with any of the other women (not if he had three of them). Nor was the money he was spending on them likely to leave his legitmate family in want and need. Nor were any of those women likely to get him pregnant.
It's too bad people don't make the same fuss over premarital sex and unnatural sex that they do over extramarital sex.
Are you freaking retarded or just being sarcastic? Marriage is a commitment, not a license to cheat with anyone who will hold still. If you are familiar with wedding vows, you would know there is a world of difference between premarital and extramarital sex.
Whats wrong with infidelity? Everything, Women who stay with their man after finding out have no self worth about themselves, are co-dependent or just don't give a hoot. I cannot condone his agregeous act and if you do you have no idea how it is to be on the other side of the coin.
I hope she insists on STD testing before she stays in this 'marriage'.
I'll bet Tiger was always using a condom. Think about it. With all those gold digging whores he was banging, if he wasn't using a condom don't you think some of these women would have made sure to impregnate themselves with a little Tiger Cub cash cow? You know, everyone seems focused on Tiger Woods here but how about the modern state of womanhood? I wistfully remember a simpler time when whores just hid in shame instead of clamoring to be slut of the week on T.V.
What Tiger does in the bed is truly his business. People need to quit putting so much value on what athletes do off of the field. Over 50% of marriages end within the first couple of years in America and many of them because of adultery. The real people who have been hurt by this and in my opinion are the 'victims' are his wife and children. We don't have the right to know about his personal life just because he is good at a game. Think about it this way... what if he was in a bad relationship with his wife and was about to end it anyway? Even if he were to do so, the press would still hand him a new one and it would be front page news. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe Tiger was fully aware of what would occur as he was dancing in New York night clubs with other women? To me it sounds like he wanted to be caught as there isn't a place in any major city on Earth where he could go without being known. Moreover, the man was well known for cursing like a sailor on the golf course. Actually, he's a billionaire now and doesn't need the money from endorsements nor playing golf. I think he should take a year off, get the counseling he is going to need to deal with the onslaught of media coverage; to get help for his obvious sexual issues, and move forward from there. He did not commit a crime here and the last time I checked the man is not a Pastor. Finally, when has Tiger woods ever commented on his moral values? He hasn't... for obvious reasons given the recent events. America, when Mr. Rodgers or the local Pastor gets caught sleeping with nine women other than his wife - get worried. It just isn't fair to place a weight on a man for values he may have never stood for in the first place.
Think on these things - Rev. Howard
So Rev, isn't one of the Ten Commandments - "Thou shalt not commit adultery"? You state that he did not 'commit a crime'. Well, wouldn't he have done so before the eyes of 'God'? Tiger Woods never commented on his moral values because he never had any.....
Be real... I'm talking a criminal offense not sin. Don't confuse the two. Jesus said he who is without sin cast the first stone. Unless you have no sin and since you have quoted the Word, I suggest you take your mouth off of someone else.
Moreover, since we don't know if Tiger is even a Christian we can't assume he is bound by the word of God. We just plant seeds... God gives the increase is all I'm saying.
I hope that Elin will be able to forgive Tiger and that Tiger will accept full responsibility for his behavior.
I'm still a Tiger fan. I love Tiger for his golf game, not his personal life (although it is nice that he shares a little bit of his family with his fans) and that is good enough for me.
Afterall, we are all mortals and sinners and only GOD can forgive us and make us whole again.
I wish them both good luck as they put the broken pieces of their life together.
what an idiot
Here's the sentence that bothers me..."It is sort of sad that all of the golfers knew about Tiger’s cheating throughout his marriage while poor Elin believed his lies when he told her he was not seeing any other women when on the road for days at a time." This attitude of "it's none of my business if someone is cheating" is ruining marriages everywhere. Anyone with integrity should confront a cheater about his infidelity and insist that he stop, and also find a gentle way to make it clear to his spouse that the cheating is happening. Believe me, it's incredibly humiliating to find out after the fact that so many "friends" knew all along that it was happening and never even gave you a hint.
Justme, what you just stated is exactly what has been bothering me so much. Everyone of his friends knew, his handlers all knew but Elin did not know. The fact the Tiger knew this is disgusting. Everyone must have known this would blow up, but did nothing to stop it. I feel so bad for Elin and the pain and humiliation she must be going through. What a liar and cheater he is.
Can you say KA-CHING!!!! She knows where the money is. Take him for everything he has and leave him high and dry...lol. I love it.
LOL...You don't need everything. There are ways to make him wish he was dead I am sure.
Lying has become an acceptable practice in modern day life, when caught trust is lost, when one cheats on one's spouse and gets caught trust is also lost. Lets hope Tiger has learned his lesson. And why as a society don't we let him and his wife get on with there lives. We need to leave them alone and heal there marriage and take care of there kids. I wish them well.
Why would anyone be surprised?
He crashed his car... he is Asian!
He cheated on his wife... he is Black!
ROFL!
ethnic background have no reason behind this because whites cheats and get lots of dui for getting caught in the front seat licking like a dog.
what does that say about the women that tiger had affairs with?????? money hungry ....star struck????? they all were willing to date a married man. they all knew???????
What is says is gross on the womens part and on Tigers part.
ROFL your a bigot..
He is a cheat and liar and Tigers wife now knows that and if she trusts him given how long that has been going on and the number of trysts, she gets what she accepts.
The fan boys who marvel over how well Tiger plays golf but excuse the rest would be the first one to throw some NFL player under the bus.
To the sponsors, yeah a cheat and liar is who I want to be associated with.
Then you must not be up to speed on that super bowl winning NFL player... the reason for the afforementioned post and how it relates to Tiger Woods... why don't you google it, be enlighted, and, think on these things...
It's not about the cheating, it's about the flagrant disregard for his family by being so careless. I'm jaded enough to believe that Elin may have known about his ways, but decided it was worth it to make a go of it. A trade off for this is to not be publicly humiliated. Tiger like so many other wealthy, privileged people, decided that it doesn't matter what he does, who he humiliates and disrespects. He can do what he wants. A rejected reality TV star from D-List Vh1's Tool Academy...come on!! Personally I hope she leaves him with lots of money for her and the kids. I'm sure she can find someone who will treat her with respect. Get out while you still have some belief in human decency.
On the otherhand, clearly this is no ones business but theirs and has no impact on my opinion of his golfing.
I wish Elin Woods well. I am not so sure I would be so willing to consider continuing my marriage after Tiger's disregard for his wife's trust, health-issues, respect. He was obviously indulging in sex with several other women during the times Elin was pregnant and if he had brought home a STD to a pregnant wife there could have been serious consequences with each child. Tiger Woods does not deserve to have his marriage but if his wife can forgive him who are we to suggest differently. I wish her the best.
Here is what Elin is trying to save:
Following a three-day rendezvous in Orange County, Calif.,While Tiger and Rachel exchanged many sexy text messages and intimate phone calls, it's an email that could bring an end to Tiger's marriage. Following a three-day rendezvous in Orange County, Calif., Tiger sent Rachel the message confessing that they shared an intimacy he'd never experienced with another woman — including his own wife! "I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this...not even at home," Tiger wrote in an email sent to Rachel, says her pal, in early November. The married father-of-two also acknowledged that it must be “brutal” for her to not be with him all the time, saying it “kills” him too.
friend, to ere is human to forgive is divine.for us to be like God we must forgive at all times, foriveness prelude future progress, imagine where you era not forgiving all you had done wrong, hell will be you companion. let them go to the bible by the time they come out they will be new couple all over again.
I suspect Tiger Woods is a sharp savy man who isn't going to let his wife take him to the cleaners financially. She assaulted him with a weapon. That is a crime. Tiger committed no criminal act against his wife. Only Tiger and his wife know the intricacies of their marriage contract. She has to stay in that marriage. Tiger is seeing to it. The article writes Woods wife gave up an opportunity to become a woman of education with her own merit to "become a nanny in the U.S." Sounds like she was looking for an "opportunity" to get herself a rich american. She's no different from the other "ladies" having a go at Tiger. She hit the jackpot and married him then had his babies. Nope, Tiger has this woman lock, stock, and barrel. She's bought. Doubtful she had no clue about his other women.
Hey it's known his wife used a golf club on him. He could have pressed charges against her and didn't. I'm not condoning what Woods did sleeping around. Just think both Woods and his wife went into this thing with their eyes wide open. I suspect his wife was aware of her husband's behavior. She seems like a smart cookie. Just my opinions. I don't require you to like or dislike what I've communicated. Oh, and you can keep your sarcasm YIP.
Intern, what a joke of a statement. Elin is NOTHING like the women that Tiger has been surrounding himself with. Elin chose out of respect of her husband to be in the background supporting him and raising their children. I am sure she is devastated, as I would be too. She trusted her husband and he made a fool of her.
This is a board for everyone's opinions. I'm not posting to denigrate anyone else's statements by referring to them as "jokes". It is my opinion that his former girlfriend turned wife, had some idea of her husbands' women period.
Dude, Swedish twins, and they are hot, need I say more, what are you doing?
Men need sex. It's a chemical thing. Women lose interest after they have kids. That's also a chemical thing. Rich or famous men can get sexual satisfaction from other women who are interested in associating with such men to boost their own finances or egos. It's human nature. For people to expect men to become celibate after their wives lose interest is naive.
jm-- you are an uneducated pig
hey karen. why did you say JM is a pig and uneducated?
I see nothing wrong with any of his statements.
A very large percentage of women do loose interest in sex after having children. Agree or not?
Also, what's wrong with that statement?
Nothing wrong there either.
Stop being so naive.
You sound as though you are someone who has just come out of a relationship you wish you were still in.
Something to remember is that women purchase his golfwear for their guys and since he has shown despicable behavior, do not be surprised when sales fall.
Not all woman are tramps and will not support anything with his name on it.
Rich, famous men that are decent and moral human beings will, in fact, be true to their wives.
Tiger will not have a good 2010 professionally ~ he hated and stopped playing in the AT&T in Pebble Beach because of the relaxed, light attitude of the crowds, and now he is going to hear heckling directed at straight him.
Too bad he just screwed up his and his family's life.
Only good thing is that of she takes the kids to Sweden, they can grow up without all of this garbage around them. She reportedly bought a $2 mil home in Sweden three months ago and it closed recently and in her own name.
I think she is not a dumb blonde and saw this coming ~ how on earth could anyone miss so many "transgressions"?
A man that 'needs' his ego boosted has issues.
If wishes were reality: I wish, that from today forward, all people who cheat on their spouses are tattooed or branded right on their foreheads that they are cheaters. I wish all the people in the world who saw the brand would never again touch the cheater in any way. I wish that cheaters were like magnets, and they could only repel one another. Of course, most of the population on earth would never be touched again, but that is only if wishes were reality.
Unfortunately, we live in a very real world. Elin would be wise to dump/divorce her loser husband now. Once a cheater starts, he never stops. She is lucky to have discovered his indiscretions while she is still young, so that she may be able to more easily move on with her life. I know she has strong feelings for her husband, but he obviously has none for her, nor any respect either. If she takes him back, when he does it again, she can't use these past behaviors to defend herself. Dump him now, secure your and your children's future while he still has the bucks.
I sincerely hope that she gets herself to a doctor as soon as possible to make sure that she has not been infected with a disease. My thoughts are with her, and I hope she, her children and her mother get through this trying time without too much more difficulty.
As for Tiger: You made your bed (in way too many places). Go take your cheating somewhere else. You're an embarassment to your wife and children. (And had I been one of your "friends" that traveled with you, and I knew of your infidelities, I would have ratted you out in an instant. As for the friends--with friends like you, who needs enemies?)
So answer me this, how do we know it was Elin that night? How would Tiger know he was sleeping with Elin, his wife, or Josefin, her identical twin sister?
If Elin was to cheat on tiger, how would we know if Elin just said she was Josefin?
It's not like Josefin or Elin has a tattoo on their forehead that says "Wife" or "Sister."
If cheating is the issue, I think Tiger was setup to fail from the very beginning.
I don't know about identical twins and the sleeping arrangements, but this subterfuge you are spouting is just plain baloney. I'm fairly sure that Elin knows who she is, as well as her sister, and where they are. Tiger's cheating is part of the issue, as well as lack of respect, disease, infidelity, lying, prostitution, mistresses, . . . . I'm sure I can keep listing.
Elin, run while you still can. He's not worthy of you.
Elin is learning that Tiger Woods is not a Tiger at all!
He is really a CHEETAH!
She loves him and wants to work it out? Dang those Swedish women are cool.
"She loves him and wants to work it out?" BUT does he really want the same thing? Does any guy out there really believe he's going to STOP picking up those waitresses? If he wasn't happy in the marriage in the first place WHY would all of this make him now want to stay married? Doesn't jive, the guy loves the women and after 9-10 or how many, is he really going to stop?? I doubt it. His wife is really young and naieve and she should just cut her losses right now because he's not going to change and if he does it's going to be YEARS from now. Forgiving one maybe two affairs but 9 or 10!!! Aside from the two children they have these two people are WORLDS apart. So sad really.
