Right before the news came out that Tiger Wood was dating professional skier Lindsey Vonn, there were rumors that he was trying to work out a reconciliation with his very publicly humiliated ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. A lot of people dismissed those stories as false, but the Enquirer is either doubling down on their original story or they were on to something. They now report that Tiger was trying to get back with Elin, but when their prenup negotiations went south and Elin told him she didn’t want more kids, he gave up on her and decided to get serious with Lindsey, since he had her on the back burner the whole time. (Her and probably a dozen others.) Meanwhile Elin is dating a billionaire now, so if this story is true she must feel relieved that she didn’t fall for Tiger’s BS again. He probably knows just how to play her. Here’s the Enquirer’s report, oh and Tiger also wants babies with Lindsey. Of course he does.
Tiger Woods wanted to get back together with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren and have more children – but when she nixed that plan, the horndog golfer publicly admitted that he’s dating Olympic skiing champ Lindsey Vonn.
And he’s already gushing about what great babies they’ll make!
A source confided to The Enquirer “Tiger told Lindsey, ‘I want to have children with you – twins if we get lucky. Imagine what world-class athletes they’d be!’ And Lindsey’s all for it, even if it means hanging up her skis for a while.”
That’s the big secret behind Tiger’s surprise announcement about his romance with the sexy alpine skiier after spending months trying to iron out a pricey prenup deal with Elin.
“Tiger felt that if he reunited with Elin, he could get back on top – both personally and professionally,” a source revealed.
“But he wants more children, and Elin doesn’t – it’s that simple. When their reunion discussions broke down, Tiger decided to let the world know that he’s dating Lindsey.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 1, 2013]
This whole situation is a mess and I don’t doubt it. The reconciliation story seems too crazy for the Enquirer to have fabricated it, but I could be wrong. I imagine that Elin is this strong Scandinavian mom type, but the truth is we know hardly anything about her. We only read one interview with her, in People Magazine, which was probably orchestrated by publicists. She may have truly loved Tiger and wanted to believe that he’d changed.
In related news, we saw some hilarious couple’s portraits of Tiger and Lindsey earlier this week. Tiger is currently playing in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and he explained in a press conference that the photos were released to avoid the paparazzi. He said “We’re very happy where we’re at, but also we wanted to limit the stalkerazzi and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us. I’ve had situations where it’s been very dangerous for my kids and the extent they’ll go to.” That’s a bogus excuse, in my opinion. We hardly ever see photos of Tiger, not even during the scandal, and he’s no longer a hot commodity in any way. He wanted to take this relationship public for publicity purposes. If the Enquirer is right he probably wanted to stick it to his ex wife as well. “You may have a billionaire boyfriend with a bigger yacht but I’m dating a world class athlete. Nya nya nya nya.”
Here’s a link to photos of Elin at her daughter’s soccer game on Wednesday. She looks great as usual.
Update: The NY Post is reporting that Tiger and Lindsey’s relationship is for mutual publicity purposes. Ya don’t say? They report that it’s to satisfy both of their sponsors. Also, The Post confirms The Enquirer’s story that Tiger has been trying to reunite with Elin:
But a source tells us, “Actually it is a match made in marketing heaven. It immediately makes him more sympathetic, and makes Vonn a household name as she reaches a crucial point in her skiing career, the 2014 Winter Olympics. They know the sponsors are watching.”
Following his cheating scandal and 2010 divorce from Elin Nordegren [ photo, opposite page], another source told us, “Tiger had always hoped to win Elin back, so this is an unusual move.”
While Woods and Vonn have clearly spent time together (they’ve been spotted in Florida), we’re told he particularly relished playing the media with his announcement.

Elin is going to get back with him and jeopradise her massive divorce settlement? I think not.
On the front page of the NYPost there’s a big article about how the TW and LV “relationship” is just a big PR thing, which sounds way more believable to me.
I had no idea that Elin has a twin sister who is equally beautiful. You would think TW would have tried to marry them both for the ultimate sex addict fantasy.
I did see that bea and was going to update with it, thanks for reminding me!
Their carefully orchestrated announcement was accompanied by a set of cozy pictures that would slot in perfectly at People magazine. And the New York Times breathlessly declared that the “potent” pair “immediately stole the title of Golf’s First Couple from top-ranked Rory McIlroy and his tennis-star girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki . . . It is a match made for ‘SportsCenter.’ ”

Run, Lindsey, run!
She can’t – she’s out of competition at the moment ‘cos she bust her knee!
I can easily believe the PR set-up story though. What could repair his image faster than a budding romance with a respected athlete just as he gets his golf “game” back?
With her busted knee and advancing age(for an athlete), she’ll need to grab a big endorsement. Gee, maybe dating Tiger and announcing it will help with her campaign to score that big endorsement! What a farce.
Shocking….said no one ever.
Pffft, Elin ain’t that dumb. She’s Team Get That Money all day.
I know people say “cheaters change” or “don’t paint all cheaters in a broad swatch” or the even more classic “YOU DON’T KNOOOOOOOOW WHAT IT’S LIIIIIIIIIIKE” but seriously, how can someone trust a person like Tiger Woods in a relationship? He had it all–money, fame, beautiful wife, kids, career–and instead spent it boinkin’ Perkins waitresses.
Elin did have the last laugh–I am going to add her to the list of patron Cinderella saints along with Luciana Damon as she went from babysitter to multi millionaire through a chance meeting with a mega rich husband. Too bad Tiger didn’t turn out to be as nice as Matt Damon though.
Wish I’d had the gifts required to make that happen! It’s not an option for the average looking gal. Or even the moderately pretty.
I don’t think Luciana Damon is all that good looking …
Exactly… I can see some people who have a situation in which they cheat or get cheated on once or something moving on. But Tiger was a serial cheater. Whole different ballpark
Elin got a richer BILLJONAIR bf by now, with a BIGGER YACHT then Tiger’s..so..She kept him hanging,its all good.Go get it($$)GARL!Uber Digger…Some ghetto momma’s should take NOTE OF THIS!!this is the way YOU GET IT!!ahahahhahahaa
Tiger’s issues run DEEP. He cannot seem to have a meaningful relationship with either gender. Hank Haney’s book was such an interesting profile of Tiger’s personality- he seems to be almost schizoaffective, thus unable to connect to anyone. Like a true sociopath (or schizoaffective), Tiger tries to mimic human connection, but cannot really get it right. He simply does not seem to feel it.
That’s creepy. But it explains his serial philandering a little better. I don’t care how much money he has, anyone who gets involved with him is a fool.
He was raised to be a golf playing robot by his dad. The stuff that makes him a great golfer (like no remorse, living in the moment at all times) make him a dysfunctional human. It’s a double edged sword for athletes. We demand they have these traits to be ingrained in their souls on the field, but we are pearl clutchingly shocked when it spills over into the real world.
Wow, I can’t believe she even entertained the idea of getting back with him after all that happened! She is a better woman than me because I would have told his sorry ass to take a hike!
And I love how getting back with her wasn’t about love, or his kids—-it was about getting back on top! Ugh. What a douchy egomaniac!
Of course his new relationship is a publicity stun! What self respecting woman would date him knowing how gross he is?
I totally agree about the reasons for getting back with her. It’s stories like these that make me glad that I’m not uber-wealthy. When you are in that league of wealth EVERYTHING is about the money, from dinner parties to marriage. It doesn’t seem like anything in his life is authentic, except for his designer clothes, cars, etc.
So glad that Elin continues to do her own thing. Like you said, how could anyone get with a man like that? Ego, ego, ego…no room to love anyone else but himself.
of course he did..once a douche, always a douche
Damn he has some huge-ass teeth. He is so icky and creepy that skier chick is crazy to be with him. He is like the Jesse James of golf. Yuk!
i called this the day of the announcement.
PR ploy…
thank you very much!
+1
Us celebitches saw the PR image makeover from a mile away. Most awkward couples photographs in history. No chemistry. Faker than fake.
I’ve seen these Tiger/Lindsey pics for a few days now, and I just can’t get over how HUGE her head looks.. his big teeth and her big head
hahahaha!
There is nothing wrong with having a back plan right? That is what Tiger did.
“he’s no longer a hot commodity in any way”
Seriously? Whether you like him or not, the fact is, the TV and tournament numbers are way down when he doesn’t play or play well. Period. The game needs him, the sponsors need him, the other players need him and know this, and he is exciting to watch. If respected people like Nicholson, Palmer, and Couples throw their support and forgiveness behind Tiger, that’s good enough for me. Doesn’t meani would date him but I won’t judge him anymore.
Plus he was the third highest paid athlete last year. I would equate that as his commodity being above tepid.
I love that he had the cluelessness to refer to certain websites as “SLEAZY”. Yes Tiger, you, the King of “I make Perkins waitresses ditch their tampon in the parking lot so I can f@#k them in the back seat of their ’92 Taurus” are the authority on what is SLEAZY and what is not.
How NOT self-aware can a person be??
DDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I never noticed how big her head was until it was pointed out. If you want a real size discrepancy look at Camila Alves and Matthew McConaghey in photos. It’s quite funny really, but at least it’s the man who has the bigger head.
He always looks so CHEESY, like he’s posing for a Sears photograph session.
I had to look up her age and was shocked to find out that Lindsey Vonn is only 28?!? She looks about 10 years older than that. Elin looks younger than her.
Lindsey has a rather large face et head.
