Tiger Woods and his wife are headed to divorce court.
A "divorce is 100 percent on," a source close to Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, tells ABC News.

The 29-year-old Nordegren -- who is rumored to be consulting L.A. based divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope -- "is not rushing to divorce, however," the source says. "She's going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything."

The new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now) reports that neighbors at their Isleworth gated community in Windermere, Fla., are buzzing that Nordegren (who has recently been photographed without her wedding ring) may already have kicked Tiger out.
"He's been coming by in the early evenings only for their counseling and therapy," one resident tells Us Weekly.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Nordegren and the kids -- Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months -- won't be spending the holiday with Woods, who has been named Athlete of the Decade by The Associated Press.

The New York Post said she wants to go somewhere "Tiger-free for Christmas," while New York's Daily News said she is going to "spend the holidays with her family in Sweden."

383I would dump him just as quick as he can sink a "hole in one" (no pun intended). Regardless of the therapy he has gone through, he will need many more sessions as to why he needs extramarital activity to fulfill him. His wife and children are beautiful, so he needs to question what is missing in his life. He should focus on the holes within himself he can fill, instead of the holes of every women he comes in contact with!
Jack, your "statement" is flawed. You say that Tiger made half of his money from endorsements connected to his "family life". He was married for the last 5 years, but he's been playing professionally over 13 years. Are you using new math?? Tiger signed big endorsement contracts before he was taking his first professional swings. I think his "family life" had little or nothing to do with any of his receiving those contracts.
slaminsam says, Duh, "I wont to see him going down the street hitting a ball with a stick". What an ignoramus...
It's never changed in the course of human history, one sad story to another. He should be ashamed of himself, and to be perfectly honest a fall from grace isn't a bad thing for all these 'celebs' that get above their station.
Half of his money came from endorsements connected to his "family life" and those are the companies that dropped him. They earned that money together - 100's of millions. I do hope he's getting some serious help. It's not that hard to be faithful to your wife and kids. If he couldn't control himself he should have ended the marriage before they had kids. He was having affairs before she got pregnant the first time.
DEBBI YOU ARE RIGHT,,, I HOPE HE IS BROKE AND HOMELESS I WONT TO SEE HIM GOING DOWN THE STREET HITTING A BALL WITH A STICK

I forgot to mention that I have practiced what I preach today. After 8 years of marriage, I learned that my own husband had a girlfriend. He was very close to leaving me to be with this woman. The most important thing to me, was my children. I was not about to allow some cheap tramp take my children's father away from them. I got down on her level and fought back. I decided that I could seduce him and give him everything that she was giving him, and more. I had the upper hand in this battle, by being his wife and the mother of his children. You want to know how this worked out? The other woman is history. My husband and I are happier than we've ever been, after 31 years of marriage. :) Our children are both grown, educated, married, and have each given us grandchildren, whom are all the highlight of our lives! Our kids have also both thanked us from time to time, for not getting divorced when they were little, like so many of their friends' parents did. They said that they always felt sorry for their friends for "having such a sucky life". Their own words, not mine. STICK IT OUT ELIN, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID SOMEDAY!
When children are born to a marriage, divorce is no longer an option for anyone who loves their children more than they love themselves. A childhood spent bouncing back and forth from parent to parent, most often ending up with step parents who don't love them or want them around, is far worse than hearing your parents fight from time to time. Besides, if the parents re-marry, then they have to listen to two sets of parents fighting. Married people will fight on occassion. All close relationships will spat from time to time because it is impossible for two people to be together ALL of the time, without sometimes disagreeing. I cannot stand the fact that nearly half of the population recites wedding vows that they do not take seriously! The vows clearly state, "TILL DEATH DO US PART". How many couples have stood before God, family and friends, and recited, "FOR AS LONG AS I FEEL LIKE IT"? What Tiger Woods did was shameful, and was also the same thing that all wealthy, famous men do. He just got caught. When there's a man with that much money, there's gonna be gold digging, attention seeking women sniffing him out. When it comes to sex...men are weak, plain and simple. My advice to Elin...be the winner, by NOT letting these trashy women take Sam's and Charlie's daddy away from them. They get to keep daddy, and Daddy gets to spend the rest of his life making it up to you by treating you like the mother of his children deserves to be treated!
Elin was probably only interested in Tigers money if she is so quick to get a divorce. After all, ordinary couples manage problems far greater than this and their relationship survives. Being in the spotlight doesn't make one stupid or unforgiving. Elin, grow up

Elin, nobody ever said that marriage was a bed of roses. Tiger is human with human frailties and no matter the hurt, you have a greater responsibility to your children's happiness than to yours. Beyond that, if you truly loved Tiger, why should you be unable to forgive. All the journalists want is a story, and the divorce lawyers their share of your money and you'll be giving it to them big time. No body cares whether you'll be happy if you leave Tiger so long as they can say, I predicted a divorce and it worked.
hes gone,let him stay gone you dumb freaks
this is for serena who says elin is wrong..so what if they wont be with their father.that is his fault,not elin's...you really think it's right for kids to see their parents arguing all the time,which will probably happen if they stay together..tiger messed up,not elin..yes the kids will suffer,but they will suffer too if they see them fighting all the time,plus it's not good for them either,sorry,but tiger messed up and she should leave him

ellin is beautiful, tiger is the loser. he will get to see the kids, and he knows this from the thousands of contracts they signed TOGETHER, plus in this country divorced dads have visitation rights. details will be worked out by attorneys. custody battle in this case is not probable. and ellin is back in florida now working on the future (she cannot permanently leave the country with the kids) the real loser is tiger mom who wont see grandkids as often due to dad not living at (former) home.
The thing that makes me so mad about this whole thing is that she could have handled it a better way. I am not saying his cheating was okay, but she could have taken a diffrent direction. Beating his car with a d*@#$ club? UGH!!! Attracting all that flippin attention. Now look, all his sponsors are starting to back out. Not like I watch golf or care about Tigers life it is just that I hate to see people in the spotlight act stupid. I can't stand this woman. And if I hear one more person say " oh pretty Tigers wife, why would he cheat"? UGH! She is not that cute, she will rebound and she knew what she was doing. Tiger is talented, but he is not that cute. All those other ugly women that slept with him did it for the money. His money, even if they got nothing from him, they still got a chance to sleep with him. A chance in their eyes... I know Tiger it is going to suck to give that milkmaid half of your fortune, but you will bounce back. With someone that doesn't look like a trani!
so much for STICKING it out tiger was wrong but it doeen't mean he can not be forgiven it hurts when someone you love cheats on you or finds someone eles to be with but elin forgive tiger in order to go on with her life or stay with him becuause don't use this affiar he had to punish him because in the end you will be hurting herself as well forgive and move on or walk away but don't leave torn between what to do and what is right for your family. know before hand what your heart wants remember there are children involed in this too GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU BOTH.
If Tiger and his wife do divorce the entire blame is on Tiger Woods shoulders. He is a very ignorant and self absorbed man. His wife and children deserve true happiness. Somehow I don't think Tiger is the guy to do that. He is too busy spending time with women who love to be in pictures half nude on the beach. You are not fooling anyone, anytime anywhere Tiger. You and Rachel Uchitel deserve one another. You will lose your fan base over your disgusting disregard for your family. Golf on without us jerk.
Tiger Woods is a fool for cheating on his family. He needs to think of the effect this will have on his children. I am really upset that his face is still used for advertising. Elin, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. Be sure to ask for supervised visits if your children are to see Mr. Woods.
