Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren announced their divorce Monday, ending months of speculation about the future of their marriage.
A statement on tigerwoods.com said: “Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods confirmed today that they have divorced. Judgment was entered today in Bay County (Florida) Circuit Court dissolving the marriage. The Judgment provides for shared parenting of their two children.”
The couple also issued a joint statement, focusing on their 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and 1-year-old son, Charlie.
We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us. Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern.
Woods has been the focus of worldwide media attention since his Thanksgiving night car accident and subsequent sex scandals.
Nordegren and Woods were married in October of 2004 after meeting at the 2001 British Open. When they met, Nordegren was working as an au pair for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. After Woods’s infidelities became public, Parnevik was critical of Woods, saying he regretted introducing Woods to Nordegren.
The financial terms of the divorce were not made public. Nordegren is widely believed to have signed a prenuptial agreement before marrying Woods. In Florida, divorce proceedings are part of the public record. However, if Woods and Nordegren agreed to a private settlement, those details would remain confidential.
