People Magazine has a speculative article about whether Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin, will support her oh-so-sowrry husband by making an appearance at the Masters this week, where he’s making his return to golf. The interesting part of this story is not whether or not she will attend (which is doubtful) but the colorful language they use to describe the fact that she refuses to sleep with her husband, who betrayed her with over a dozen women, many of them paid professionals and at least two of them porn stars. Several of the mistresses state that Tiger didn’t use condoms. People writes that Elin “wears a chastity belt made of spikes,” as if she should welcome her husband back into her bed with open arms. I do buy that Tiger is genuinely remorseful and trying to change (and truth expert Eyes for Lies agrees) but that isn’t enough to atone for the awful things he did. That’s also not enough to convince Elin that it’s worth sleeping with him and risk getting infected with all sorts of skank diseases.
“Elin is going through the motions of family life only to keep the children well grounded,” the source says. “She suffered through the pain of her parents divorcing and doesn’t want to do that to her kids. But she is not happy in the marriage. The trust is gone.”
By day, she may seem to be playing the role of wife. She was even spotted this weekend spending two nights on Woods’s yacht Privacy with only a nanny and son Charlie and daughter Sam. Not surprising, the source says, since “she wears a chastity belt made of spikes. They are not living together as a couple. They are putting on a charade for the children.”
The source does not believe Nordegren will attend next month’s Masters, where Woods will make his comeback after four months off following his sex scandal. “Elin wants to stay away from Augusta and not get involved in the frenzy of the Masters. By not going, she sends a signal that she is staying with Tiger only because of the children. They come first.”
The source says Nordegren did contact top California divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope but did not hire him, and is now dealing with lawyers closer to home in Florida. “[Woods’s] behavior in the coming weeks will tell us quite a bit,” the source says. “If he falls even slightly one more time, she could still file for divorce despite her interest in holding the family together.”

I’m wondering if Elin or Tiger’s camp leaked this story. It sounds like it comes from Elin, but then the “chastity belt made of spikes” bit is over-the-top and paints her in a negative light. It’s just as likely that Tiger’s people are preparing us for a divorce they consider inevitable while trying to kind of publicly chastise Elin for refusing to show up at the Masters. That woman deserves a medal for silently dealing with everything she put up with. You know that every news outlet is clamoring to get her side of the story and I’m hoping we get to see an interview with her in the next few months.
I don’t think it paints her in a negative light.. hell I would be in a hazmat suit 24/7 near him!
Okay I will say it, I am catty enough to want here at the Masters.. I would love to see her all pouty and eye rolling sighing in disgust, perhaps throwing up her hands and walking off.
That’s a highly offensive quote. If I were Elin, I’d be wearing a chastity belt made of spikes, carrying a taser, pepper spray, and packing heat.
Truthfully, I probably wouldn’t have stayed. Children are little emotion sponges, and there is nothing they don’t pick up on. They may not have the words to identify the emotions, but they know when something’s wrong. And if I had stayed, I wouldn’t sleep with him unless he was screened for STD’s and HIV and came back clean for at least 2 years, and until I trusted him again, whichever came last. And never, ever without an industrial condom on him.
after reading his texts to that porn star… I would never be able to look at my husband sexually again. Knowing he was having unprotected anal sex and then comeing home and having sex with me… would make my skin crawl. How can she ever enjoy sex with him again? Maybe someday but not the near future, thats for sure.
Jesus, when will we learn to leave this woman alone? She has shown nothing but class and grace in the face of all this crap.
We owe it to her to let her deal with all of this as she needs to….privately.
Elin is in an elite group of women whose beyond-famous husbands are man-whores. WHo’d want to sleep with a skank-magnet?
I would be very surprised if she could learn to forgive – I mean hard enough one but 16…
Can they honestly really make it work and be a couple again?
Also, one thing I will say – this “for the sake of the childen” rubbish. And I have no idea why i’m spouting this off here. BUT. My father cheated on my mother and she wouldn’t take him back. Yet, I had a lovely childhood and knew I was loved by both, had a great relationship with both and was very happy.
I have friends whose parents have stayed together, living in contempt, hating each other, resenting each other and the kids have barely a relationship with either parent.
This “sake of the children” is a rubbish notion – its about them and their relationship – can they really make it work – not just living together and pretending.
@DoMaJoReMc: I could not agree more. This is a family matter and everybody else needs to back off.
Elin needs to leave his ass….quit this bullsh*t about “doing it for the kids”. Hasn’t she learned that it never works out?
Why make yourself miserable Elin??…you know you wont ever be able to touch Tiger again. Ack…the thought just makes me shiver. He is beyond disgusting with all his whores and all the nasty activities he got into.
Next announcement is that Tiger is HIV+
yeaaa i would have to get a divorce (at least the kids are still young so they have a little time before they have to have the sit down it would seem)..can’t imagine trying to sleep with him after those women
I don’t think we’ll hear from Elin unless they split, even then we may not as Tiger’s side might try and gag her with a confidentiality agreement. (Which I’ve just found funny as he probably likes to gag his women and his very confidential private life has exploded into the public realm).
I hope Elin does whatever is best for her.
I just saw a picture of them walking together last week – What the heck is going on? Is she crazy?
i would make tiger wear the chastity belt! in any case it’s too little, too late.
Ok, my cynicism is showing, but the only thing I believe Tiger is “sorry” for is getting caught.
They don’t change their stripes, remember? The dude is so self-absorbed he makes me want to vomit.
And if I were her, I’d be funneling his money into a trust fund for the kids and finish what I started with that 9 iron.
“That woman deserves a medal for silently dealing with everything she put up with. You know that every news outlet is clamoring to get her side of the story and I’m hoping we get to see an interview with her in the next few months.”
Yes, I agree she deserves a medal. And I strongly believe the media should leave her alone. Why do we need to see an interview of her talking about such a personal and private matter? If we care about her and want to support her, the best thing we can do is butt out, not tell her what decision she needs to make, not castigate her for whatever decisions she does make, and just leave her the heck alone!
I’m really disappointed that she went back to him at all. WHY did she do that? If she really wants to see about working things out, then he can move out and they can try that. She doesn’t seem strong to me at all, she seems like a doormat.
I think her lawyers hammered out a deal where she helps him relaunch his golfing and endorsement career by “standing by him” for a while, then they split and she gets a bigger slice of the fortune than the original prenup dictated.
Let’s start the inevitable divorce pool: I say by next March.
I want a prescription for whatever she’s on. She has been so calm, at least in public. She smiles with the kids, seems to be handling things normally on her own, isn’t making growly nasty faces at the press or trying to hide from them, from what I can see. The only time she looked unhappy was when she was walking with him.
She deserves a medal. If I were Tiger, I wouldn’t want her there. There’s no way he’d be able to concentrate if he knew all the press and fans would be going crazy looking at her looking at him. And looking at his mother looking at her.
I don’t think Elin is a doormat and I don’t think she’s staying with him in the long haul. I think they’ve worked something out to do with his career, at least for now. But I don’t see her agreeing to be with him, at least not now.
Agree with Ally. She is being paid to stay with him to help him get his endorsements back. The longer she stays, the more $ she gets, which if true, really doesn’t make her any better than any of the other girls
Elin is Swedish. Most Nordic/Scandinavian cultures discourage overt displays of emotion. A lot of her restraint is probably cultural. She is also apparently quite bright and is the child of accomplished parents who were public figures. She is no stranger to attention from strangers and grew up in a reserved culture that’s generally different in many ways from ours in the US. I doubt she believes the public is entitled to know anything about her private understanding with Tiger.
hmmmmmmm
Elin knew what she was getting into by marrying Tiger. He certainly did not treat her any differently from the other women he had during that time.
So, if he doesn’t cheat, does this mean Elin will have to have sex with him several times a day? Maybe she doesn’t want to.
Staying together for the sake of the children is worst excuse people use. Kids arent stupid. Her kids are old enough to know something has shifted with their parents.
The kids will get older and one day realize the parents stayed together only for them and this causes a huge amount of guilt to the child.
If the kids feel the parents animosity towards each other this leads to distrust & problems in their adult relationships etc.
When a marriage is over staying together for kids sake is FAR worse for the kids in the long run.
I dont think she is staying with him for the money. She has plenty of money & will for the rest of her life with child support and alimony etc. I think she is doing it for the kids but thats bad – if she doesnt want to be with him she should get divorced.
As well she should – that man has to have diseases w/ all the women he slept with unprotected. How could she ever sleep with him again — ewwwww!
The spikes probably grew on after he slept with all those porn stars and strippers. She just needs an antibiotic and she’ll be fine. Oh, and a real man. A real man would solve a few of her problems.
merci admin..
So I’m a little out of touch, she’s still with him? Dumb B**ch…
Mentok, I agree. I think he’d be out doing it again (if he isn’t already) if he thought he wouldn’t get caught again.
If she wants what’s best for the kids, then she should show them that a woman doesn’t have to put up with a man who sleeps around. Even moreso, who also lies and comes home to be with her after having unprotected anal sex with many of those women. They will get a lot more out of seeing their mother stand up for herself and be happy on her own, than living in misery just to “keep the family together.” All she’s teaching them now is that the man gets to have his cake and eat it, too, and the woman has to be subservient to his needs at all times, no matter how much he endangers her life. Awful!
Well said Kim.
Damn Elin rocks those ray-bans aye. She should be their model for sure.
ohh please she is not going anywhere if she was, now would be the time. Tiger is xtra rich with a very big stick(not the one he plays golf with) she is a good christian girl and will stay.
A married woman wearing chastity belt to protect herself from her husband’s sexual advances? Their marriage is in serious trouble.
