How Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods overcame their co-parenting scandal…

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren began co-parenting their two children after their cheating scandal became public more than a decade ago. Nordegren introduced Woods in 2001 when Woods was working as a nanny for golfer Jesper Parnevik. Three years later, the couple married and had two children, son Charlie in 2009 and daughter Sam in 2007.

In the year Charlie was born, news broke about Woods’ multiple relationships, including a committed relationship with Rachel Uchitel. On Thanksgiving Day 2009, Nordegren contacted Woods about his misdeeds. They divorced the following August. Five years later, in an interview with Time, Woods opened up about the difficulties in his marriage. “Looking back, I wouldn’t change 2009 or how it started. That means communicating more directly and honestly with my ex-wife,” he said. “Ultimately, I wish I had been more open and honest with my ex-wife during our marriage.

If we discussed this openly and honestly, we would express our disappointment. It’s great where we are now. Scroll down to see a timeline of your ex-spouse’s ups and downs.

Woods invited Uchitel to watch him perform at the Australian Masters in November 2009. That same month, Woods asked his ex-girlfriend to call her ex-woman to quell media speculation about his affair. In the 2021 HBO documentary Tiger, Uchitel said, “Eline and I had a long 30-minute conversation trying to convince her that I did not have a sexual relationship with Tiger.” We talked about how and why we came to Australia and how we met Tiger and his friends.When this story was published, no one read it. Between that crap and the phone call with Erin, I remember thinking, “Oh my god, I’m going to skim this.”
