Tiger Woods’ legendary golf career has often been overshadowed by the personal scandal that shook the world in 2009. At the center of it was his then-wife, Elin Nordegren, whose life took a dramatic turn following their highly publicized split. The scandal revealed Woods’ infidelity, with reports of numerous affairs dominating headlines and ultimately leading to the end of his marriage. In August 2010, Woods and Nordegren finalized their divorce, marking a painful chapter for both but also the start of a new path forward.
In the years following, Nordegren focused on raising their two children while pursuing her own personal growth. She later entered a relationship with billionaire philanthropist Chris Cline, which lasted several years before coming to an end in 2017. Sadly, Cline passed away in a helicopter accident in 2019, a loss that deeply affected Nordegren.
Despite the difficult past, Nordegren and Woods have built a cooperative and respectful co-parenting relationship. Reports suggest that she even maintains cordial ties with Woods’ partner, Erica Herman, showing maturity and prioritizing family harmony.
Woods himself has acknowledged Nordegren’s importance, once calling her his “best friend” while highlighting their commitment to raising their children together. Their ability to move past betrayal and focus on family stability has drawn praise from many observers. Today, Nordegren lives largely out of the spotlight. She has embraced a quieter life, dedicating her time to her children and personal well-being. Her journey reflects resilience, grace, and the ability to rebuild after public heartbreak.
