When woman marry famous athletes or movie stars, they know there is a 99.9% chance they will be divorced within ten years, but they will be rich. So it is no big deal, I am sure she will be crying all the way to the bank.
He is certain no victim, but you don't think these women know what they were getting into? If you join that crowd and then later cry "oh he cheated on me", it looks pretty funny.
50% of marriages, generally, end in divorce. When a marriage ends, people are still upset. No one goes in thinking their marriage is going to be among the ones that fail. I do not assume that Elin didn't love Tiger...or that she still doesn't....simply because he has money.
50% is high but you cannot get away from that. For athletes and movies stars, you can count the ones that do not end in divorce. That should tell you if you join that crowd your can pretty much expect to get a divorce. 50% is still very much different than 99%.
I have no idea what the divorce rate is among pro golfers. She was introduced to him by another pro golfer and his wife, who were friends. I don't have numbers...but I can damn near guarantee you there isn't a 99% divorce rate among pro athletes. That's ridiculous. I don't think Elin went into this marriage expecting this outcome.
Me either.... I am sure they will all be fine, right now....to me it is more about protecting the kids. DD
Do you have any evidence for your 99% figure? Because I can guarantee you that for every celebrity divorce you can list, someone can list a celebrity marriage that didn't end in divorce. You just don't hear about them because they aren't scandalous news.
That seems much harder to find quickly. Maybe golfers are different than other pro athletes, I don't know much about them.
so the best line I've read about the divorce...( i forgot from where) "so with one swing of a 3 iron - Elin Woods, now moves to second on the alltime PGA money list" made me laugh...
You thing elin would have married some joe shmo who drove a rav4? She married him cause he was tiger woods and made a zillion dollars and was on tv every week. A majority of marriages end in divorce in this country so their kids wont be that much worse off than an average child in america. Furthermore she was a product of a divorce. Should have tiger have gotten married? No. What he did was terrible considering that he had wife and kids. However she is going to walk away with 20-80mil and the kids so it isn't a total loss. I am guessing tiger probably loves his kids and she can keep them away and screw him on visitation. She will also have a lot of money so she can buy what she wants, take vacation etc. With tiger on the road so much it wasn't like he was around much. I really don't feel that bad for her. Imagine if she was married tp some loser with no job and just bailed leaving her to raise a kid working two jobs. I can feel sorry for her, not a multi-millionaire who probably hasn't worked a day in her life.

L I and CHUCK BENNETT Last Updated: 10:16 AM, December 17, 2009 Tiger Woods' furious wife has tapped a top divorce lawyer and is planning to take the golf great for as much as half his billion-dollar fortune for repeatedly cheating on her with a bevy of birdies throughout their five-year marriage, it was reported yesterday. "She plans to leave Tiger," a source close to Elin Nordegren told People magazine. "She's made up her mind. There's nothing to think about -- he's never going to change." The stunning Swedish beauty is believed to have contacted veteran Los Angeles celebrity attorney Sorrell Trope -- who has represented Nicole Kidman, Britney Spears and Cary Grant -- to renegotiate the terms of a prenuptial agreement and end the marriage, according the several other reports.

I know alot of folx agree with her . . wanting half I won't make excuses for what Tiger did but IS WHAT HE DID WORTH HALF A BILLION DOLLARS? Rocket River
He should have just stayed single and party all he want. He is going to pay her but not half a billion.
