Another day, another development in the Tiger Woods Cheating Scandal. Yesterday we learned that Tiger‘s wife Elin Nordegren had reportedly packed her shizz and moved out of the Woods manse in the wake of all the drama EXPLODING all around Tiger and his supposed cavalcade of mistresses … but considering that Elin‘s mother was rushed to the hospital from the Woods mansion early Tuesday morning after she suffered a “stomach ailment”, it would seem that Elin hadn’t really moved out just yet. But, don’t be surprised if she really does move out of her home with hubby Tiger to a new home … a home that is far, far away … in Sweden. It turns out that Elin bought a $2.5 million dollar mansion in Sweden (her homeland) with her twin sister Josefin just a couple of weeks before this Tiger Woods Cheating Scandal came to light … has she been planning her exit for longer than we we knew?
Elin Nordegren: Smarter than we thought? According to NBC London, Tiger Woods’ beleaguered wife purchased a $2.5 million home in Sweden in negotiations that began “two months ago,” apparently in her own name and that of her twin sister. Could it be that Elin discovered her husband’s (alleged!) philandering ways long before anyone thought she did? As we all learned in Beowulf, you don’t mess with Nordic women. They will kick your ass in every conceivable way. Nordegren is said to have packed up the kids and moved out of the Orlando home she shared with Woods, and is supposedly now living in another home nearby. Hakam Andreasson of Aftonbladet, a Stockholm newspaper, confirmed that Elin and her sister purchased the property on the Stockholm archipeligo of Faglaro. Negotiations began about 2 months ago and were finalized on December 1st. From the New York Daily News: Her Swedish getaway is located on some prime Scandinavian real estate — a small, secluded island reachable from Stockholm only by ferryboat. Or, you know, by simply walking across the ice nine months out of the year. “It belonged to a professional soccer player who wanted privacy,” Linge said. “I heard she started looking at it last summer and bought it two weeks ago.” What can we deduce from this? Just speaking for myself, I believe that Elin devised an exit strategy the minute she discovered that Tiger was cavorting with floozies. She got the kids, money, a house in Sweden and got to bend a golf club over Tiger’s head. She got it all.
Some say that the wife is always the last to know when a husband starts cheating but that is not always the case. Perhaps Elin knew more than she wanted to know early on? If all of these reports of infidelity on Tiger‘s part are to be believed, my guess is that Elin prolly knew about some of this drama for some time … she just was prolly not aware of just how unfaithful her husband allegedly was to her. I would bet good money that Elin will flee to Sweden to take up (temporary?) residence in this new mansion. It can’t be fun hanging around and dealing with this growing mess on a daily basis.
It suddenly occurred to me that it now makes so much sense that Tiger Woods would so fiercely guard his privacy. If he really had all of these secret women to deal with, of course he would choose to NOT speak at all about any private family matter so as not to slip up and ruin his plans. He managed to keep things totally quiet for some time now so I guess he was mostly successful … but if he really was cheating on such a huge scale, he had to know that it wouldn’t last forever. What next?! Stay tuned …

Go ELIN!!! You rock!! Don’t even look back.
Tiger is such a manwhore, I wonder if he has gotten any lately. I would bet the hoes are still being smuggled in for him. As for Elin, she is very wise to dump his sorry a** and move on with a big payout.
Oh my god… Everyone in Sweden is so worked up over this story, it’s crazy! Poor Elin, Tiger seemed so sweet…
Kudos to her on finding a new home for her and the kids, far away from the glare of the media and far away from Tiger’s cheating ways. Team Elin!
Go Svenska Flicka!
Um, she can’t move the kids to Sweden without Tiger’s consent. It’s called kidnapping. But good for her to leave.
or rather *it’s good that she decided to leave*. I wonder about a pre-nup though.
I just saw some details of a pre-nup: apparently she has to be with him for 10 years to receive 10 million, but prior to all this, she was in negotiations to change the pre-nup. It’s really messed up, but I think she knew of his cheating ways but decided to stay to get some money out of it. Either way, it’s so bleh!
@Danielle – thats what i was thinking….
@Danielle – You know, it may seem that way but wasn’t she successful on her own before she met Tiger? And, also, women who aren’t rich at all stay with their husbands even if they know they’ve cheated. Sometimes you don’t want to be alone even if you know your significant other isn’t a complete saint, you know? It makes sense. Perhaps she was thinking about her children? Some parents even wait until their kids are grown up to get a divorce. It happens. She doesn’t strike me as the kind of woman just to get money. She is the mother of his children and I’m sure she took good care of them while Tiger was busy with golf. For what Tiger is worth, $10 million ain’t nothin’.
@danielle…it’s not kidnapping unless there is a court ordered custody agreement. she’s thier mom. likewise he could take the kids and live in another country.
“Or, you know, by simply walking across the ice nine months out of the year.” hilarious.. hahahha.. americans crack me up!
Good for her!!!! At least she had/has a WEALTHY husband who cheated… instead of a broke mofo.
@Chase, I think she was an au pair before hand. I don’t think it’s right for her to stay (money or no money), simply because of the message they’d be sending the kids. Everyone deserves better, but then again, I’m not in her shoes so I can’t judge.
i still find it really hard to believe he cheated with all the women coming forward
i think she knew too.
@megan – you find it hard to believe he cheated w/ all the women coming forward? are you kidding me?
Elin while I feel bad for your kids,
it is best to move Tiger out of your
life. You have been humilated more
than enough!
Decent info! Did not think this post would be so entertaining.
