Elin Nordegren Has The Eye of The Tiger, Rumored To Get $750 Million Pretty Little Green Ones In Divorce Settlement!

All over now ... Tiger Woods   and family with dogs

Looks Like Elgin's Gonna Take A Real Licking

Golf maestro Tiger Woods has one thing to say to all the single ladies -- don't even think about coming around daughter Sam, three, and son Charlie, one. Unless, that is - He puts a ring on it (that would be their finger). Otherwise, Elin ain't having it!

More outrageous settlement details, under the hood.

In return, former wife ELIN NORDEGREN, 30, gets the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce, netting her a whooping three quarters of a billion dollars.

But she can NEVER publicly speak out over his flings with socialite RACHEL UCHITEL, reality star JAIMEE GRUBBS, porn queen JOSLYN JAMES and up to 17 others, who will work out costing him £25million each.

A pal said: "Elin is desperate to protect the children from the womanising side of their father.

"Tiger's main fear is her telling her story after he's rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter."

Family home ... Elin keeps  the properties in Windermere

Swedish ex model Elin ended up with double the sum she originally sought, after her lawyers proved Tiger, 34, was worth much more than the $1billion (£660m) she thought.

Her friend explained: "Elin's legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets.

"The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life - even if Tiger dies first - or she'll lose the lot."

Elin keeps their main home in Windermere, Florida, and a nearby property - jointly worth £3million - plus an apartment in Stockholm and her island farmhouse nearby.Tiger gets a £50million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida, where they had been building a new mansion.

He will also keep their £2million apartment in Los Angeles, when the six-year marriage officially ends.

The pal said: "Everything's signed. Elin is ready to file for divorce at Orlando County Court. She expects to in the next seven days."

£50m estate on Jupiter Island  ... goes to Tiger

Elin gets sole physical custody of their kids but they will split legal custody.

That means Tiger will share decisions about their future - so Elin will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden.

Tiger - believed to be building a golf resort in Dubai and investing in the Bahamas - will be able to see the kids for up to half of each week.

He can renegotiate the custody agreement in five years.

The pal said: "Elin admits that despite everything, Tiger loves his kids and has been a decent dad.

"She is confident he will not pursue seeing the children that much, due to his work and lifestyle.

"plus female members of staff known to Elin.

The pair threw separate birthday parties for daughter Sam last week.Tiger took his office manager Kathy to his. Elin also went along.

A source said: "Elin made an effort not to make it uncomfortable. They handed out goodie bags to the kids together. That was a nice moment."

The previous most costly celebrity divorce was $168 million, paid by basketball star MICHAEL JORDAN to his wife JUANITA in 2007.

Why Is Tiger Woods Half-Naked And Looking Like A Prison Inmate on Latest Vanity Fair?

Elgin "Tiger" Woods appears on the February cover of Vanity Fair, photographed pre-scandal by Annie Leibovitz. There is a full portfolio inside--never-before-seen photos of the raw, unguarded biracial golf billionaire.

Pulitzer Prize winner Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights and, most recently, co-author of Shooting Stars, with LeBron James, reflects on Woods's downfall and what his future may hold.


A future that may hold $300 million less in it's bank account, if wife Elin Nordegen has anything to say about it

Woods "had always been the bionic man in terms of personality, controlling to a fault," Bissinger writes. He calls the pre-scandal Woods "the perfect man and pitchman for our imperfect times, a charming non-person," noting that "with Woods, everything was crafted to produce a man of nothing, with no interior--non-threatening and non-controversial."

But "in the end it was the age-old clash of image versus reality.... He deluded himself into thinking he could be something that he wasn't: untouchable. The greatest feat of his career is that he managed to get away with it for so long in public, the bionic man instead of the human one who hit a fire hydrant."

Tiger Woods: The Billion Dollar Man


Tiger Woods is on track to be the world's first billionaire athlete in the next couple of years.

Even though Tiger Woods is done playing golf for the year due to injury, Forbes Magazine is reporting that Tiger is on his way to exceed $1 billion in earning by 2010. Woods won the U.S. Open last month playing on a bad knee winning more than $1.3 million and last year he earned a total of $117 million in winnings and endorsements. As far as the billion dollar mark in 2010, Forbes' calculation was based on Woods' estimated earnings in the annual rich list dating back to 1996, when he turned pro, and also credited the world number one golfer with annualized investment returns of 8 percent.

"Based on those criteria, we project Tiger Woods should join our list of the world's billionaires in 2011," said the magazine. "It will be an unprecedented occurrence."Forbes also mentioned other very rich athletes, including billionaire champion sailor Ernesto Bertarelli, but the difference is that Tiger is earning his loot through sports, while Bertarelli earned his fortune by other means. Most of Tiger's loot comes from endorsement deals with the likes of Nike, Gillette, Buick, and Gatorade. He's earned $90 million so far this year in endorsements and over $750 million in his career so far.

Tiger Woods Knee Surgery: Sometimes When You Win... You Really Lose!!

I stood glued to my television for five days as Tiger Woods hit awesome shot after shot, comeback after comeback and as he "owned" the 18th hole each and every day. My mother in Virgina sat on the other end of the phone and marveled at what she was seeing but each time he began to putt she would anticipate disaster. I comforted her by simply saying...

"Mom don't worry about his putting, pain may throw off twisting his leg when driving and regular swings... but that same pain will make him focus in his putting." My unprofessional analysis held true. The U.S. Open handed Tiger another "major" win, and Tiger gave us not only great golf but legendary drama.

But now Tiger must have knee surgery, his season and possibly his career is over. Was it worth it if he never plays again? If He never plays again is he the best ever? Would you make such a sacrifice for such a a reward?


Woods said in a news release on his Web site Wednesday that he ruptured the ligament last summer while running near his home in Florida after the 2007 British Open.

Rather than have reconstructive surgery, he decided to manage the pain and his schedule to continue playing. But the pain continued and Woods had an arthroscopic procedure two days after the Masters in April. While recovering from that operation, the statement said, Woods sustained a double stress fracture of his left tibia.

Those injuries explain the pain that Woods could not hide as he labored toward his sudden-death playoff victory at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Often wincing and limping after hitting shots, sometimes using his driver as a makeshift cane, Woods still managed to defeat Rocco Mediate on Monday to win his 14th major championship.

“I know much was made of my knee throughout the last week, and it was important to me that I disclose my condition publicly at an appropriate time,” Woods said in the news release. “I wanted to be very respectful of the U.S.G.A. and their incredibly hard work and make sure the focus was on the U.S. Open. Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is listen to my doctors, follow through with this surgery and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee.”

In all likelihood, that will not be until well into next season. The recovery time for major A.C.L. reconstruction can be from six to eight months. The revelation that the injury occurred last summer and will now be the focus of major surgery was the first mention of an A.C.L. problem by Woods or anyone in his camp.

TIGER WINS U.S. OPEN WITH ONLY ONE GOOD LEG!!!!

This Biracial Wonder Is Simply UNBELIEVABLE!

It all came down to Tiger Woods vs. Rocco Mediate in the 18-hole playoff of the U.S. Open 2008 tournament, but it was not enough. Tiger Woods had a chance to tie Rocco on the 15th hole but failed to make his birdie put.

On the 16th, Tiger’s long put stopped right before the hole so he knocked it in for a par, still trailing by one stroke. Both Tiger and Rocco pared the 17th hole. Tiger birdied hole 18 while Rocco got a par.

Sudden death…

Tiger Woods birdies the first hole and Rocco Mediate fails to follow. And once again, the brother who has redefined golf, even with a hurt leg, roars!!!

Tiger Woods' Audacious Win In Dubai: Obama Ain't The Only Biracial Brother Kicking Butt


Black History Month Never Looked So Good

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Tiger Woods birdied five of his final seven holes Sunday to rally from a four-shot deficit and grab a dramatic victory at the Dubai Desert Classic for a sixth title in his last seven events.

One week after winning the Buick Invitational by eight shots, Woods fired a seven-under 65 for a 14-under total of 274 and then waited to see if Ernie Els could catch him. Needing a birdie on the par-five 18th to force a playoff, overnight leader Els hit his tee shot into the water and made bogey.

"To go 2-for-2, it's a pretty good start, isn't it?" said Woods who won by one shot from rising star Martin Kaymer of Germany. Woods had already finished when Kaymer, who won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship two weeks ago, closed with a birdie-birdie-eagle for a 66.

This is the third time Woods has started a season with two straight victories, and it was another sign that the world's No. 1 player could be headed for a big year. Woods now has won his last four official tournaments -- and he also won his unofficial Target World Challenge by seven shots in December.

Woods lost momentum with bogeys on the sixth and ninth holes, but he poured it on along the back nine to capture the Dubai Desert Classic for the second time. It was his 72nd career victory, 62 of those on the PGA Tour. [CNN]

Golf Channel's Tepid But Proper Response To "Lynching Tiger" Comments


Despite Tiger's insistence — speaking through his agent — that Tilghman's inappropriate comments were a non-issue, the Golf Channel did the right thing suspending her for two weeks.

Al Sharpton compared Tilghman's on-air remarks to Don Imus's "nappy-headed ho" controversy. Sharpton, as is normally the case, is wrong.

What Tilghman did, despite her 12-year friendship with Woods, was much worse ...



... than what Imus did. Imus, a radio shock jock known for crude attempts at humor, cracked a bad joke on a morning radio show. Tilghman is an anchor on the Golf Channel. No one expects her to be racy, controversial or stupid.

Also, Tilghman can't argue that she picked up the notion of "lynching Tiger in a back alley" from black popular culture. She came up with that nonsense all on her own. JASON WHITLOCK at FOX Sports has got more of this story.

White Female Sports Anchor Says Tiger Woods Should Be Lynched!


What The Hell???

Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman has apologized after saying during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."


Black or White, anybody referring to someone being lynched is in dire need of a much deserved ass-whoopin'. Period, end of story. According to New York Newsday, a spokesman for the network said Tilghman apologized on Sunday's telecast and has reached out to Woods' representatives to express her regrets for the comments.

Tilghman, who played college golf at Duke, works as the main play-by-play announcer during The Golf Channel's PGA Tour telecasts.
