Ok...the last word I heard is.....Tiger has left the house and is in hiding...(probably on his yacht) Elin says she will stay with him...no suprise there cause there is a ton of money involved!!! And Elin's mom and dad divorced and she doesn't want to put the children through that...KUDO'S to Elin for thinking about the children. Certainly Tiger was not thinking about that when he strayed....

Update:
Woods says he's going to put his golf career on hold while he gets his personal life back in order. "I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf," he told his official web site. "I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person."

STOCKHOLM -- Tiger Woods' wife bought a six-bedroom house on a small island near Stockholm that is reachable only by boat.
Stenake Johansson, chairman of the Residential Association on Faglaro island, told the Associated Press on Saturday that Elin Nordegren became the owner on Dec. 1.
"Elin Nordegren has bought it, but I don't know how much Tiger has signed on to those papers," said Johansson, adding that his organization is still awaiting all the paperwork.

You're Elin Nordegren. You're hurting and humiliated. And in two weeks you've watched your home life go from a car crash to a train wreck.
Maybe you'll stay with Tiger Woods. Maybe you'll leave. Amid all the rumor, speculation and nonsense, only you know for certain what you think and feel.
But what are your options? I spoke to three experts on money and divorce to get the skinny.
A.J. Barranco, a partner at Barranco & Kircher in Miami, is an experienced Florida matrimonial lawyer and represented Hulk Hogan's wife in their recent divorce. Michelle Smith and Mark Hill are both Certified Financial Divorce Analysts with more than 20 years' experience advising high-net-worth individuals. Ms. Smith runs Smith Divorce Financial Strategies in New York; Mr. Hill runs Pacific Wealth Management and Pacific Divorce Management in San Diego.
What advice would they give to Ms. Nordegren? Here's the rundown:
• Don't give in to anger or rush your decision. "My first recommendation would be: Take your time, go slow, don't do anything precipitously," says A.J. Barranco. "Try to save your marriage if you can, and if you can't, explore your options." Mark Hill agrees. "Don't listen to your girlfriends and go out and get the most aggressive lawyer in your jurisdiction," he says. He's seen it too many times. Most people are hurt, angry or scared, he says. "They hire an aggressive attorney because they feel that will protect their rights more. But that tends to push their spouse to hire an even more aggressive attorney."
Once couples get on the "divorce escalator," Mr. Hill says, it's hard to get off. And the divorce fight often ends up damaging the relationship far more than the breakdown of the marriage. That's a special concern here because the couple have two young children.
• Get this out of the public eye as fast as you can, and keep it there. "You want to prevent this from becoming any more public than it's become already," says Mr. Barranco. This is turning into a public-relations fiasco, and that's bad news for everyone involved. And by damaging Tiger Woods's reputation, it may be damaging all of their financial interests. Your willingness to take this private and play ball is probably your strongest financial card—and can give you a lot of leverage. Tiger Woods does not want to suffer any more damage in public.
• Be aware that even if you take it to court, trying to overturn your prenuptial agreement is going to be an incredibly tough challenge, no matter what your husband has done. Generally speaking, you have to prove you signed it under duress, or that you were a victim of fraud or incomplete disclosure. Philandering doesn't count. "Disclosure is about financial disclosure," rather than anything to do with behavior or proclivities, says Michelle Smith. "Prenups are usually unwound because there hasn't been full financial disclosure." Duress "is a little harder to prove," she adds. But if Tiger pressured you to sign an agreement after the wedding invitations went out, say, or while you were picking out china patterns, you may have a case.
• Even if you do decide to divorce your husband, "choose how you are going to divorce first," says Mark Hill. "Realize that you have that decision to make first." That means looking at nonconfrontational options, such as mediation, before you even think about going to war. One nonconfrontational option: so-called "collaborative divorce," in which the two parties hire lawyers, personal counselors and a neutral financial expert such as a CPA to help them sort through all the issues—but sign an agreement at the outset not to go to court. It's not cheap, says Mr. Hill, but most times it's cheaper than a messy legal fight.
• Be aware that the prenup won't have any effect on what support Tiger will have to pay to support the children. The courts will determine that based on his assets and earnings and the lifestyle the children enjoy at the moment, says A.J. Barranco.
• Decide how much you really need to live on before you start negotiating. As a rule of thumb, your investments ought to earn—at the least—4% over inflation over the long haul. So you'll really need a lump sum of around 20 to 25 times your income if you want it to last a lifetime. In other words, if you want an annual income of $1 million a year, you'd probably need a settlement of $20 million, if not more.
But if you do get divorced, be aware you are going to have to downsize your lifestyle from your days as Mrs. Tiger Woods. "She won't be able to continue life as she has known it," says Michelle Smith. "This may be the biggest paycheck of her life."

I think we are up to 14 women now. Number 14 hired Gloria Allred.
At work, I have the over-under at 24 because no "escorts" have yet been named.

Twas the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house
Tiger Woods came a flyin', chased by his spouse.
She wielded a nine iron and wasn't too merry,
Cause a bimbo’s phone number was in his Blackberry.
He’d been cheatin on Elin, and the story progressed.
Woman after woman stepped up and confessed.
He’d been cheatin with Holly, and Jaimee, and Cori,
With Joselyn, and Kalika. The world had the story.
From the top of the Tour to the basement of blues,
Tiger’s sad sordid tale was all over the news.
With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex,
When not in their pants, he was sendin them texts.
Despite all his cryin and beggin and pleadin,
Tiger’s wife went investin -- a new home in Sweden.
And I heard her exclaim from her white Escalade,
"If you’re gettin' laid then I’m gettin' paid."
She’s not pouting, in fact, she is of jolly good cheer,
Her prenup made Christmas come early this year.

What a disappointment Tiger is as he has been so successful at portraying himself as this super clean cut family man... Don’t really mean to be judgmental, but “A scum bucket is a scum bucket in any language”
