From the outside, their relationship seemed ideal.
But years into their marriage, Woods and Nordegren’s life imploded.
Take a closer look at the tragic story of Tiger Woods' ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
When Nordegren was 7 years old, her parents divorced.
Nordegren learned quite a bit from her parents' divorce.
“Despite the split, I feel like the base was still there.
Nordegren has also used what she learned from her parents after their divorce to inform her own parenting decisions.
After her divorce, the model wanted to set a good example for her children.
In 2003, at an Orlando, Florida golf course, Nordegren collapsed and was hospitalized for dehydration.
I told her she should just stay home today, but she’s stubborn,” the golfer added.
As other outlets reported, Nordegren had to spend the night in the hospital following her dehydration collapse.
However, the model seemingly made a full recovery as the story disappeared afterward.
Unfortunately, though, Woods also suffered from food poisoning, and the golfer vomited multiple times while playing.
Amazingly, Woods still won the invitational.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take long before things went south.
A few years into their marriage, Woods stepped out, having affairs with multiple women.
As Nordegren later shared, she was unaware of the cheating until 2009.
“I’m so embarrassed that I never suspected not a one.
Nordegren had lots of emotions to process after learning of her husband’s infidelity.
“I’ve been through hell.
You’re struggling because it wasn’t real.
The public first caught wind of trouble after Woods suffered a single-car accident on Thanksgiving night.
In 2010, the couple divorced.
Misinformation about the demise of Woods and Nordegren’s relationship only continued to circulate, deeply hurting Nordegren.
The model was especially upset by the rumor that she had beat Woods with a golf club.
“This was one of the things I had the hardest time with people thinking.
There was never any violence inside or outside our home.
And that change happened relatively quickly after their divorce.
Our relationship is centered around our children, and we are doing really good we really are.
He is a great father.
That year, Woods got into another single-car accident in California, with the injuries requiring emergency surgery.
According to reports, Nordegren was there for Woods after his crash.
“She’s been incredible since the crash.
