On December 12. 2009, it was confirmed that embattled golf star Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren had purchased a 6 bedroom house on Faglaro Island in her home country of Sweden.http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-elin-woods-home13-2009dec13,0,5480934.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fmostviewed+%28L.A.+Times+-+Most+Viewed+Stories%29 The report immediately caught the media's attention since Elin and Tiger's marriage is rumored to be in dire straits following the revelation of Tiger's infidelities. Reports speculated that Elin Nordegren (or Elin Woods) would be retreating to the new home alone to decide whether to divorce Tiger; others said that the entire family would be temporarily relocating to Faglaro Island in order to recover and avoid media attention. Since the home is located on an island that can only be reached by ferry or boat, that could be a viable plan.

Speculation that Elin decided to buy the house post-discovery of Tiger Wood's infidelities, however, do not appear to be founded. It is thought that she began negotiations to purchase the home as far back as August.http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-elin-woods-home13-2009dec13,0,5480934.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fmostviewed+%28L.A.+Times+-+Most+Viewed+Stories%29

Tiger Woods and his wife have made headlines recently following his early morning solo car accident on the day after Thanksgiving 2009. The crash followed a report by the National Enquirer that Tiger was having an affair with Rachel Uchitel, who has denied the allegations. Though Tiger Woods and Elin refused to speak to police officers, the rumor mill refused to release the story, especially after US Weekly confirmed that they had located another Tiger Woods' mistress Jamie Grubb, who had voicemails and text messages from the golf pro. Since then, several other mistresses have come forward, and Tiger Woods has admitted his infidelity on his website as well as announced that he is taking an indefinite break from golf.http://www.latimes.com/sports/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-glf-tigers-terrible-time,0,7573900,full.story
