How Tiger Woods and Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Built an ‘Incredible’ Relationship as Co-Parents After Their Divorce

How Tiger Woods and ex-wife Elin Nordegren maintained a ‘wonderful’ relationship as parents after their split

“It’s amazing to see people who have been married for 20, 30, 40 years and still be in love. That’s what I want for us.” Tiger Woods once spoke to PEOPLE about his relationship with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. But they had no love life. Two days before Thanksgiving in 2009, the National Enquirer published an article accusing Woods of having an affair with club owner Rachel Uchitel. Woods had Uchitel call Nordegren to quell the rumor, but Nordegren discovered the text messages and called Uchitel from Woods’ phone on Thanksgiving. He was greeted with “Hi, baby,” confirming Nordegren’s suspicions. At approximately 2:30 a.m. that evening, Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade and police found him near Nordegren. Woods is believed to have taken sleeping pills and tranquilizers before getting into the SUV.

Five days later, Woods said in a statement: “I have let my family down and I am deeply sorry for these violations.” “I deal with my behavior and personal shortcomings privately with my family. Only we should share these feelings.”

In 2021, Woods was involved in another car accident.
