Update by Celebitchy: These pictures are most likely of Elin’s twin sister as TMZ reports that her husband was seen in some photos and that she’s wearing a different ring than Elin. Also note that the “300 million” claim was made by News of The World, and could be made up.
Well, well, well. It looks like some of the rumors are true. Elin Woods and Tiger Woods spent the holidays apart, with Elin and the kids in France and Tiger in New York with random blondes. Friends allegedly asked Elin what Tiger got her for Christmas – to which Elin replied “300 million dollars.” Oh, snap! But the weird thing is that in new photos of Elin at the French ski resort, she’s wearing her wedding rings. Of course, it might not be Elin in the photos – it could very well be her twin married sister, who was on vacation with Elin, and who looks just like Elin. TMZ wonders aloud if it’s really Elin whileE! News says it’s her for sure. Who knows?
Tiger Woods’ scorned wife is telling pals that her philandering husband left a cool $300 million in her Christmas stocking – as reporters played a cat-and-mouse game hunting for him in New York Sunday.
Elin Nordegren held her head high skiing in the French Alps over the weekend – and a stunning new report reveals why.
Asked by pals what her tomcatting hubby got her for the holidays, Nordegren coolly declared, “Three hundred million dollars, thank you very much.”
The report, in Britain’s News of the World, said it’s all part of her plan to get hers – and keep their two kids in comfort – in a coming divorce battle.
“She’s 100% determined to split with Tiger,” the source told the tabloid. “When she boasted of the ‘$300 million Christmas gift’ and then laughed, it was clear to everyone around her that she’s more focused than ever about moving on with her life.”
Woods has not seen his two children – Sam, 2, and 10-month-old Charlie – for more than a month and had to mail them their Christmas presents, the source said.
“Elin feels that Tiger isn’t mentally well enough to spend time with her or the kids,” the source said. “Tiger wanted to see them for Christmas, but Elin went away skiing at a secret location in California and then fled to France for more snow and space.”
Photographs in Sunday’s Daily News capture a carefree Nordegren hitting the slopes at France’s Chamonix ski resort, where she celebrated her 30th birthday Friday inside the $8,000-a-night hideaway.
While Nordegren is away, sources suggest her hubby is in New York to play.
A source told The News that Woods was staying in the Trump International Hotel in Columbus Circle, showing up Saturday accompanied by a leggy blond woman. The source said Woods was staying in a $2,200-a-night, seventh-floor suite.
The spy also said Woods ordered 16 cases of Red Bull and 20 bottles of Absolut Vodka delivered to his room.
Woods has not showed his face in public since before Thanksgiving, when he crashed his car in front of his Florida mansion, triggering the almost daily revelations about a bevy of mistresses.
Photographers and reporters swarmed the Trump hotel hoping for the first post-smashup photograph of Woods. Staff insisted that Woods was not a guest – and the NYPD wasn’t informed of any Woods-related activities, two sources said.
The only famous face seen going in and out of the hotel over the weekend was ABC’s George Stephanopoulos,the new host of “Good Morning America.” The network said he was not there to interview Woods.
Another source close to Woods trashed the reports Sunday.
“He’s not as flashy as the person who is doing all that ordering of vodka …” the source told The News.

Locked away in a New York hotel with random blondes? Sounds about right to me, but Rachel Uchitel is going to be devastated. She has her heart set on being the next Mrs. Woods, and she’s not going to be happy if Tiger is shacked up with other sketchy characters. Us Weekly is also reporting that Elin “let her hair down” on New Year’s Eve. Apparently, while she was in France, Elin “surrounded herself with friends and family” and she was “happy, smiling, and seemed to have finally let her hair down. This trip must have done wonders for her.”

Considering her husband publicly humiliated her she has recovered rather quickly. It seems as if she was really in love with him, she would be devastated at finding out about his “secret” life, but it seems as though she is having the time of her life. Good for her!
Maybe I read this too quickly but she’s getting $300 million to divorce him?
Regardless, glad to see that she’s well. I think she’s right to stay away and keep the kids safe with her. GO TEAM ELIN!
300 million is a lot better that the gift my husband got me…
I do think that’s her sister. Especially considering the comment. I don’t think Elin would say that, I’m sure she’s still having trouble with it. But a sister would be all about sticking it to the BIL who hurt her twin.
I don’t believe any of it. The tabloids can’t find any decent sources, and celebrity news has been light for a few days, so I suspect creative *cough* writing rather than facts.
Other outlets are reporting that is her twin, Josefin.
thats not elin. and elin dont disclose money matters.
Dorothy: 😆
@diva: I daresay she’s coping more than recovering. I’m sure she is devastated over being humiliated by the man she loved; and so publicly, at that.
Her comments regarding the $300 million Christmas present sound very much like those of a defensive scorned woman. I feel for her, and am glad that she is trying come out of it on top with her head up. She should. She’s not the one in the wrong.
News of the World has never printed a true story. As for the other stories about Tiger. Tiger is sailing in the bahamas, Parting w/ Rachel in FL., sex rehab in AR, safari in Africa(TMZ) at his home in Orange Co, eating cereal and watching cartoons in Florida guest house GMAFB. These sources dk anything noone knows where Tiger has been since Dec 1st when he met with the cops and his only inury according to them was a busted lip.
thought she’d leave Tiger, but now I don’t think she will. i think they’re working out some deal now…
Hope this is Elin’s twin with the ring, but not sure about a ski trip doing wonders for her or her family. She has two large dark circles under her very sad looking eyes.
I am one of those “odd” people who does not discuss their grief and sorrow with random people. When I have suffered horrible loss I find it makes me feel better to put on a calm composed demeanor and forge ahead using 1 or 2 really close people in which to confide how I am really feeling. I do not find (for me) public catharsis all that helpful. It is also terrifying to small chldren if you break down completely in front of them. It makes them feel like the whole world must be caving in if the adults in their life are a mess. You Go Elin! Keep your dignity!
LOL Dorothy!
Who on earth would go to sex rehab in Arkansas?
Love Elin. LOVE her.
I think it is obscene that this man has 300 million to give away. What the hell is so great about him? I have absolutely no problem with people earning great wealth with their talent, brains, looks, ability, etc. But that is ridiculous. And I don’t even blame Tiger, who I never liked; I know its a bigger picture. And I know there are wealthier people out there. Its just a bit jarring to really think about that number.
But if he’s got it to give, I’d say Elin deserves it. You cannot put a price on broken trust or broken hearts.
Oh, and what did she do for all that money? She had and is raising his son and daughter. If he’s worthy of a billion for whacking at a ball with a stick, she’s worth more.
Elin’s sister also has different teeth, which makes a slightly different mouth position.
Firestarter, I think Kim meant AZ, not AR. One of the rumors about Tiger’s whereabouts is that he went to some type of rehab in Arizona.
I’m certainly no expert on the Nordegren sisters, but those pix don’t look like Elin to me.
@Dorothy
“300 million is a lot better that the gift my husband got me…”
If it’s true that it’s the thought that counts, I’d have to disagree. If you’ve got real love with your husband, you’re way, way better off.
Go, Elin, Go! Every woman who’s husband has effed around on her in the world is doing the “you go sistah!!!” dance!
Nice that he’s serving it up without the hassle – undoubtedly there is a lot more that could be disclosed in court proceedings that he’d like to keep shut up, especially about the idiots he hangs around/parties with.
This “Elin” was also with a tall, dark-haired man in other photos. And why would Elin have her ring back on, but NOT be on vacation WITH Tiger?
I agree, they got her mixed up with the twin sister. AGAIN.
This is a confirmed picture of Elin’s sister, wearing her wedding ring and the dark haired man with her is her husband. Elin was there but not photographed out sking and so forth.
They really are lovely women aren’t they? Just lovely in appearance.
I love your site. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Thank you!
