Amazingly it has been almost a decade since the world was rocked by the news that golf superstar Tiger Woods had affairs with up to 120 women during his marriage to Elin Nordegren. Unsurprisingly this led to their eventual divorce in 2010. Read on to find out what the former Mrs. Woods has been up to over the last 10 years.
1. Elin Nordegren’s Early Life
Elin Nordegren, born in Stockholm, Sweden, is the daughter of a politician and radio journalist. She and her siblings used to work as cashiers during summers to finance their studies.
2. Cover Girl Model On Cafe Sport
It turns out that Nordegren’s beauty hadn’t flown completely under the radar. Before dating Tiger Woods, she had set her foot in the sports world – modeling. In 2000, she was the cover girl model for Cafe Sport.
3. Coming to the States
When Nordegren worked in a clothing store, she came across Mia Parnevik, wife of Jesper Parnevik, a Swedish golfer, and went together with them to the U.S. to be a nanny for the family.
4. She Caught Attention
After being introduced to the sports world by Mia and Jesper, she drew a lot of attention. Some single golfers showed great interest in her and wanted to date her.
5. Woods Was One Of Them
Although Tiger Woods liked Nordegren, she happened to be dating somebody at that time. He didn’t seem to mind though and continued to ask for a date with her for over a year.
6. The Meeting
They were finally introduced in 2001 at the British Open and started a relationship that would last for three years before their eventual marriage.
7. The Proposal
Woods officially asked for her hand in November 2003 at the luxury Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa. Nordegren, unsuprisingly, said yes, and they got engaged.
8. The Wedding
An easy $2 million was spent on their expensive wedding held at the Sandy Lane Complex in Barbados in October 2004. Classic Tiger Woods.
9. They Started A Family
Elin gave birth to their daughter Sam Woods three years after they married. The day before Woods had taken second place at the U.S. Open. That was some week for the golfer!
10. Welcomed Another Kid
In 2009, the couple welcomed their second kid, a boy named Charlie into the family. Everything seemed to be going perfectly, yet little did we know that the end of the marriage was just around the corner.
