It’s been over a decade since the world was rocked by the news of Tiger Woods’ infidelity, which ultimately led to the demise of his marriage to Elin Nordegren. The scandal was a tabloid sensation, with reports of Woods’ numerous affairs with over 100 women. The fallout was immense, not just for Woods’ career, but also for his personal life.
Despite the challenges she faced, Nordegren has emerged stronger and more resilient than ever. After her divorce from Woods in 2010, she received a hefty settlement of $100 million, which she used to purchase a stunning mansion in North Palm Beach. She recently sold the property for a whopping $29 million.
Nordegren has also found love again, albeit briefly, with billionaire coal magnate Chris Cline. Although their relationship ended in 2017, and Cline tragically passed away in 2019, Nordegren has shown that she is capable of moving on and finding happiness.
One of the most impressive aspects of Nordegren’s journey is her ability to co-parent with Woods peacefully. Despite the acrimonious circumstances of their divorce, they have managed to put their differences aside for the sake of their two children, Sam and Charlie. In fact, Nordegren has even developed a cordial relationship with Woods’ current girlfriend, Erica Herman.
Woods has publicly praised Nordegren, calling her his “best friend” in a 2016 interview. While some may raise an eyebrow at this statement, given the circumstances of their divorce, it’s clear that Nordegren has risen above the drama and is focused on moving forward.
Nordegren herself has spoken little about the scandal, but in a 2014 interview, she referred to her divorce as “the wild storm of my personal life.” She even managed to joke about it, saying that she probably should have taken more notes in her Communications and Media class. Her sense of humor and strength in the face of adversity have earned her a reputation as a true survivor.
Today, Nordegren is living a peaceful life, free from the drama and scrutiny of her past. Her journey is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to heal and move forward, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
