The rumors are now no longer rumors. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are now divorced. Below is their official statement, released through their attorneys.
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. 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.
Rumors have it that the total dough to Elin is about $100 million, not $750 million. Either way she’ll be fine.
The good news
Elin Nordegren, hot blond Swedish (now rich) model is single. Too bad for her I just tied the knot a couple of months ago…

They’re just finishing the 2nd round of the PGA Championship. Round three will be starting shortly.
Matt Kuchar is in the lead at -8. Phil Mickelson is 5 shots back. Despite horrible driving Tiger Woods is 6 shots back at -2. John Daly withdrew with a torn “rotator cup.”
Weather conditions are much improved over yesterday’s wind and rain.
For those of you who are bored tonight, and on location at the PGA Championship, Golf.com’s David Dusek had an entertaining Twitter post a few minutes ago:
“A truck is pulling a sign around d’town Milwaukee advertising one of Tiger Woods’ alleged mistresses is dancing @ a local strip club.”
The Bridgestone Invitational is over for Tiger Woods, and the leaders still don’t tee off for another couple of hours. Today Tiger scored a 77 to cap off the worst four days of scoring in his professional career, 18 over par.
Tiger said he wasn’t surprised by his performance this week. When asked why he wasn’t surprised about his performance by the press, his answer was, “it’s been a long year.”
In a few hours we’ll get to see if Phil Mickelson can climb up the leaderboard from 10th position to a top four, which would put in in the #1 world ranking.
It will be an interesting rest of the day and I’ll be sitting here watching it all because my back is out and I can’t play right now.
My fellow golf blogger (who also qualifies as a golf writer) has a fun read on Tiger Woods’ post round comments today at the 3rd round of the Bridgestone Invitational. After a round of 75 where he mentally threw in the towel, Tiger told the press to “go talk to the leaders.”
Pop over to Jay’s blog to read more.
It is sort of interesting that the Bridgestone is a no-cut event. TW could have gone home already with a missed cut in a normal event, but has to endure the misery of not playing golf up to the level he or anyone else expects from him for this weekend. Obviously the pending divorce, which he isn’t talking about, is weighing heavily on his game.
Meanwhile Bubba Watson is looking good at the beginning of the round and has the lead. Phil Mickelson is one stroke back, smelling a #1 world ranking.
