Elin Nordgren and Tiger Woods divorced on August 23, 2010 after a short court proceeding at a Miami, Florida courthouse. Nordegren gave an interview to People Magazine afterward in which she said that the couple had attempted to work out their relationship, but said she had lost trust in Woods, adding that "a marriage 'without trust and love' wasn't good for anyone".http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=5495563 Despite rumors that Nordegren would receive from $100 to $500 million in the divorce, the actual amount awarded her was not disclosed. In her interview, Nordegren said "money can't buy happiness or put my family back together".http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=5495563

After the revelations of numerous affairs by her husband, Tiger Woods, there were several reports that Elin Nordegren would be seeking a divorce from the pro golfer. Despite early reports of divorce immediately following the revelations, the couple apparently sought to reconcile the marriage while they underwent counseling and Woods reportedly went through rehab for sexual addiction. In the week following his return to golf at The Masters, Entertainment Tonight reported that the couple would indeed be seeking a divorce and that only a few details needed to be worked out on the divorce decree before it was to be signed.http://www.etonline.com/news/2010/04/85875/index.html

In April 2010, the National Enquirer reported that Woods confessed to having sex with 120 women while married to Nordegren. Allegedly, the confession occurred while Woods was undergoing sex addiction therapy. In addition to those he listed, SportsByBrooks reported that Woods slept with 21-year-old Raychel Coudriet the daughter of Woods' neighbor in Florida. The Enquirer reports that Nordegren decided to proceed with the divorce process after learning about Coudriet. It was later reported that Nordegren was seeking a $500 million divorce settlement.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/29/tiger-woods-had-sex-with_n_556948.html

On December 14, 2009 a report was published that Nordegren had decided to separate from him after the holidays and was talking to a divorce lawyer. Nordegren is said to want a relatively normal Christmas for the couple's two children. The report came in Britain's News of the World, which says that Elin will move back to Sweden after the new year and is no longer in a rush to file divorce papers.http://news.bostonherald.com/news/national/south/view/20091214report_elin_nordegren_to_leave_tiger_woods/srvc=home&position=also

Also according to the paper, Elin was said to be caught completely off guard by the revelations of affairs and had no idea that he was cheating. The paper quoted an unnamed family friend, "Elin will pretend it's the usual family celebration for the children and then ditch the man. "In the short-term," the source continued, "they'll act like any other loving couple. Elin won't break it up right away. But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly."http://news.bostonherald.com/news/national/south/view/20091214report_elin_nordegren_to_leave_tiger_woods/srvc=home&position=also Nordegren recently purchased a secluded home in Sweden and Woods has announced that he is taking an "indefinite break" from professional golf.
