Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Officially Divorced

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

Nearly six months after his public apology to his wife, Tiger Woods’ marriage to Elin Nordegren is officially over.

Both parties appeared briefly in a Florida courtroom today to finalize their agreement.

The divorce came nearly 9 months after Tiger Woods hit both a tree and a hydrant outside of the family home in Florida. That incident lead to a string of reports about the golf star’s infidelities.

No financial details about the split have been made public, but the two will reportedly “share custody” of their two children - daughter Sam, 3, and son Charlie, 19 months – according to a statement on Woods’ website.

“We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us,” the two said in a joint statement. “Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern.”

Elin, 30, and Tiger, 34, had been married since October 2004. The two met back in 2001 at the British Open.
