According to Radar Online, Elin Woods has visited her cheating husband Tiger in the Mississippi sex rehab where he’s receiving treatment. Radar has close ties to the Enquirer, which broke this story and has been on top of it. I would guess that this report is accurate. They also claim that Elin has chosen to try and work out her differences with Tiger, and that she plans to stay for the time being. Other outlets reported that part of the therapy during Tiger’s program at a Hattiesburg, Mississippi addiction facility involves a “disclosure day” during which the offender must explain in detail all the times they cheated. The wronged party is also encourage to visit the patient for what’s called “family week.”
Tiger Woods wife Elin has visited him in rehab and returned home, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
The golfing great wants to save his marriage and is undergoing sex addiction treatment at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively.
Elin returned home to Orlando late Sunday, sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. She flew by private jet.
She has spent the past several days with Tiger, participating in his treatment program, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively.
“The marriage is not over. They both want to save it,” a source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Elin has been with Tiger in Mississippi for approximately five days and private security was hired to keep her out of sight, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively. She is participating in his recovery therapy.

Is this spin from Tiger’s camp and is it true? People has a report that Elin has been seen around town in Hattiesburg, which adds some credence to the news that she’s giving reconciliation a try, or at least that she’s visiting Tiger. She should send a process server to do that for her.
There’s some speculation that Tiger isn’t at that Mississippi rehab at all. There’s a guy at the same rehab who looks like Tiger from far away and is wearing the same clothes, and some paparazzi agencies are wondering whether it’s all a case of mistaken identity. Some of those photos are below. The guy is even wearing the hat from Tiger’s alma mater. I would bet that Tiger hired a guy to dress just like him in order to throw off the tabloids.
If my husband cheated I wouldn’t be sticking around for the kids or the lifestyle – especially if it wasn’t a one-shot deal and especially if it was all made public! Add the fact that there are multiple women involved, some paid professionals, and it just makes you worry that he’s bringing home all sorts of creepy crawlies. That’s a massive betrayal and no amount of therapy could convince me that it was an addiction he couldn’t control. Even if it was, who would put up with that? I understand that some couples chose to work through infidelity and that it can make their relationship stronger. Does anyone really expect Tiger to change, though? It took him long enough to get to rehab and he sounded defiant and wounded in his two responses to this massive scandal. He’s a “poor me” victim and he should take up with one of the gold diggers who willingly slept with him for cash while his wife did all the dirty work at home. Then he can see that the grass is brown and trampled on the other side.

does anyone really believe Elin didn’t know Tiger was cheating on her arse, she is just upset that it become public
That really, really doesn’t look like Tiger Woods to me. But what do I know?
OMG are those pics supposedly of Tiger? WTF, it barely resembles him…or is that the work of Elin’s nine iron?
I’m with you kayla, that doesn’t look like him at all. the jawline in the second picture, maybe, but the full on facial pictures? Those don’t look like him.
I know i’m going to be alone: but i’m glad she is actually giving him a chance. They are both very young. They have small children. They should try at least. If it doesn’t work out, she can still ask for divorce in 1,2 or 5 years. Why the rush? This is what love sould be about: staying together in difficult time. Not running away (with the kids and the maximum of money ) at the first crisis.
Tiger is more skinny.
I hope she went there to smack him in the face again.
Like I said in the story, there is a guy that looks like Tiger at the same rehab wearing the same clothes as he had on in the National Enquirer photo. Chances are high he’s a decoy hired to throw off the tabloids. He was even driving separately from the other rehab attendees in the same car as Tigers. I would bet it’s a ploy to try and discredit the report in the National Enquirer.
thats very true celebitchy… now do you guys think Tiger will do an interview with the mighty Opes
@Lio, no I agree with you. I think they can salvage their marriage but Tiger will have to prove his loyalty.
@ Bite Me – As a woman who was cheated on by her (now ex) husband, I can tell you that I knew in my heart he was cheating on me, but whenever confronted, he denied. It was only when caught red-handed in a betrayal on such a sleazy level that I received confirmation, and embarrassment had absolutely nothing to do with the way I felt. Disgust, however, did; I respected myself w-a-a-a-y too much to stay with his cheating ass.
If Elin believes he will change, will be a good husband to her and a good father to their children, I sure hope she’s right. Tiger needs to be thanking God that she’s his wife, not me. What I want to know is, why does he realise AFTER all this horrid behaviour on his part that he wants his family? Why is his family important to him now, not before, when he started the whole skank parade? Does it really take screwing up on such a monumental level and nearly losing everything to value what you’ve got?
For what it’s worth, he is definitely in Hattiesburg.
Not sure what the deal is with the look-a-like, but I’d have to agree with the “ploy” scenario.
Hmmmm. This story was fun at first.
Now it’s just tedious.
That guy has the worst posture, no way in hell he’s a professional athlete.
Can anyone tell me WHAT is so therapeutic about hearing about your spouse’s every act of infidelity? Maybe it helps to allay the betrayer’s guilt, but hasn’t the betrayed spouse suffered enough?!
BTW: I think Elin is so beautiful and really loved (loves) Tiger. He SOOOO does not deserve her.
lio-
I am married and am willing to stick almost anything out. Serious, incapacitating illness, dismemberment, financial ruin, anything BUT cheating. That is the absolute deal breaker for me, and I would be furious if he cheated once, and there would be no forgiveness. I cannot imagine being cheated on constantly with a rotating STD skank parade, and I definitely cannot even fathom how Elin could even consider taking him back after that. Honestly, if he was my husband, I’d have killed him. I cannot and would never, ever EVER allow myself to be disrespected like that, and also how could you get over it? I couldn’t, I would hate him forever and no amount of money could change that. Besides, those kids don’t need a scumbag like that as a role model, so I say kick his diseased ass to the curb and take his money. If he had cared about the marriage in the first place he’d have kept his dick in his sensible golf slacks.
Alexa,
Maybe they tell everything so there is nothing left to ‘wonder’ about. I’m sure if I were in her situation, or even if I had been cheated on just one time, I would be constantly imagining the scenarios and wondering what else I didn’t know.
I imagine she’ll have enough to be suspicious about moving forward.
Maybe all the tabloids should just wait and really see what Tiger is going to do next. Seems like everyone is getting tired of hearing the same headlines….Where is he? What is he doing? When will he return to golf? blah blah blah
Nobody that treats someone as badly as Tiger treated Elin deserves a second chance.
It would be wrong on SO many levels if she got back together with him. And it would send the message to women that this type of behavior should be forgiven. That’s such a dangerous lie.
@ Alexa: Their program is probably based on the traditional 12 step program. One of the 12 steps is “making amends” to those you have harmed with your addiction. Just a guess.
Me, I agree. If Tiger is even there, and if she did go visit him, she mostlikely went for answers.
If a person is cheated on, they have a bazillion questions to ask and well, lets just say it is a very hard road to travel.
Hopefully she will be able to get all of the answers she needs to move in whatever direction she needs to. And hopefully Tiger can be man enough to actually tell her/answer her with any information she needs. And not “trickle truth” it out.
I can’t blame her for wanting answers, the “Why’s” can be a real bitch to deal with 🙁
bella: Many props to you for kicking that cheating bastard to the curb. I’d have done the same thing, and I hope Elin does, too. This man isn’t going to change. I don’t care how many programs he completes — he’s a narcissist and, while I’m no shrink, I’m fairly certain there’s no cure for that.
I don’t think that guy even looks like tiger.
I love that he has his Blackberry in that pic, just in case YuckyTell et all need to weigh in on the accuracy of his “disclosures”.
And yesterday (or maybe it was Saturday), ESPN unearthed yet another former mistress.
I don’t know how you move on, accept the fact that your husband didn’t cheat once, but apparently with 14+ women and at least one of them was a long-term mistress.
“The marriage is not over. They both want to save it,”
Elin God bless your marriage for not listening to unhappy people who only thought civilization is when you run away from your home just bcos of minor setbacks. I will continue to say that marriage is for better for worst, in sickness and in health till death do you part. There is no perfect marriage but we all make our marriage work for us to partake in that blessing which Almighty God has promised. There is also no saint anywhere. Manage your home and give no ear to public opinion bcos at the end of the day, you are the one in it. I am graciously happy that you want your home to flourish. Divorce is not for any man or woman who wants to partake in the blessing that follows marriage especially where children are involved. Crimes are rampant today as a result of wrong values and broken homes.People go into marriage for the wrong reasons and when they have little problems with their spouse, they run away. Staying in your marriage nmata the storm does not make you stupid but it stands you out amongst others. I congratulate you bcos you are a virtuous woman. Stick to your marriage, i know it can be difficult, but God shall sustain you. I am proud of you. Good luck.
That guy looks less like tiger than I do, and I am a girl!!
I can’t see how subjecting the wronged spouse to a sleeze filled confession can help. The 12 steps of AA do include amends (step 9?) but it stipulates that you DO NO FURTHER HARM!!!! You consult with your sponsor to see how much to disclose so you don’t assuage your guilt at another’s expense.
Sounds like some hack came up with a pseudo-psych money making venture.
At the end of the day, it’s Elin’s choice to stay or go. She is thinking of her kids, I would think, as money would be no object for her. She already stands to be an extremely wealthy young woman, no matter what her choice is.
I love how folks are giving advice but have not been in this situation. I don’t know what I would do and hope it never happens to me. To
ogechi-
So you think God wants Elin to tolerate being disrespected and possibly risk her life and health to stay with someone who obviously has no respect for her or their children? I am all for trying to work things out, but I just cannot fathom ANYONE being able to get over this. Nor do I think God wants people to be miserable and put themselves in danger, at least not the God I know. If Elin chooses to work it out, I wish her luck (because she will need it), but I just cannot imagine forgiving what he’s done. BTW, I think this situation is more than “a little problem”….
Okay, if they both want to salvage the marriage, and if she is willing to forgive and he is willing to turn over a new leaf and stay faithful to her, then maybe they can make it work a second time.
BUT:
If he EVER cheats on her again after they get back together, she should kick him to the curb, throw his ass out and never let him near her again. Old Chinese proverb say, DO NOT TAKE HIM BACK MORE THAN ONCE.
I wonder how many times Radar Online can emphasize that they learned this information “exclusively” in one paragraph….
A blond and red headed sister are talking, and the the red head says, “I slept with a brazilian man last night.” The blond sister says, “You slut,,,how many is a brazilian?” Sorry lame joke but you made me think of it when you said bazillion #21
NO forgiving and NO forgetting…take the children and run Elin run!

ChickenTetra:
I am no way saying that Tiger woods did great for committing adultery but that is NEVER enough for any woman described in proverbs 31 verses 10-15 to leave her home. Abraham committed adultery with his housemaid yet Sarah forgave him, that gave birth to God’s tremendous blessings towards Sarah[today Sarah is called the mother of all nations by Christians]. As i have always asked, show me the man who has not cheated? Tiger woods deserved a second chance or more from his wife. For Elin to stand by her hubby this period, she is already blessed. Marriage is the highest institution in heaven. Divorce, separation etc are not ideal. Am happy he is undergoing counseling, that says alot. Yes he erred, but he didn’t kill anybody, which for me is unforgiving. I see people divorcing, remarrying and divorcing and i wonder where we are headed. There is no way you can get the best when the father/mother to your children are not there. PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER and determinations are the key to successful marriage. Forget what you see on movies, read on books, or stories we also hear, marriage takes efforts and determination. Above all, a serious minded woman avoids 3rd party in her marriage. It all boils down to values.
Am happy that they are making their marriage work and i wish them all the best.
Again, remember, LOVE CONQUERS ALL!!!Love forgives absolutely!!!
Therapy is the best thing for both of them now no matter what happens to their marriage. Even if she decides to divorce it’s healthy for them both to have the chance to talk it out.
I think he clearly is a sex addict, I don’t get why some don’t accept it. Given his skills, how he was raised to compete and succeed I think it’s practically natural that some addiction/coping mechanism develops. Clearly he was out of control, and that says addict to me more than typical guy skeeze.
Ogechi…pls be quiet!!!!!!…..stop talking silly. did the bible not say divorce is permitted in a case of infidelity? what the hell are you talking about? your hubby cheats on you with not just one but over 14 women, and you arre blabbing!!!!!! how the hell can you let him touch you ever again!…. I know you are Nigerian from your name, and io am one too, and i advice you to drop that long suffering mentality of yours.
