Everyone knows Tiger. Or at least knows of him and his wins and losses. Tiger Woods has been in the public eye since he was only a child for his incredible golfing ability. Thats not what people really care about though. They want to hear the heartbreak, the infidelities, and the lies.
In 2004 Tiger Woods married former model, Elin Nordegren. In 2007 they gave birth to their first child
Sam Alexis Woods and in 2008 they had their second child Charlie Axel Woods. Not even a year later reports started flying in about numerous infidelities between Woods and nightclub owners ect.
No one really paid attention to these accusations until a few days later when Woods left his Orlando home at 2:30 am in his SUV, a 2009 Cadillac Escalade. Woods hit a fire hydrant, a hedge, and finally a tree only a short distance away from the house. A few days after this suspicious crash Woods made a press statement and praised his wife for getting him out of the car.
The gossip magazine, US Weekly also published a story about a San Diego waitress named Jaimee Grubbs who claimed to have had a two and a half year affair with Woods. She even had voice messages that he had left instructing her to erase his number from her phone because of his wife getting suspicious. The day the article was published Woods made a public apology saying how sorry he was. He is quoted to have said, "I have let my family down."
After this whole situation, more women stated making claims towards Woods and how they had also had affairs with him. On December 11, he finally admitted to infidelity and offered apologies to his wife, kids, and the public.
Because of these bad decisions, Woods has lost several endorsements and obviously a lot of money. His wife, Elin has also filed for divorce and it finally went through on August 23, 2010. Reports say that Nordegren has recieved a settlement of approximately 100 million dollars. The two have shared custody of the two children.
