With Woods consistently in the spotlight for his on-course exploits, Nordegren has kept a relatively low public profile.

Nordegren repeatedly denied that she was the woman in the photos. She brought legal action against the Dubliner magazine for printing the photos and claiming they were of her in 2007.
