Exclusive: Tiger Woods' Mother-in-Law Addresses Rumors to Us

Saturday – November 28, 2009 – 3:11pm

Tiger Woods' mother-in-law spoke to Usmagazine.com on Friday. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Barbro Holmberg, mother to Woods' wife Elin Nordegren, briefly addressed the ongoing headlines involving her daughter and son-in-law.

Look back on these famous infidelity scandals

"This is a private family matter," Olmberg told Us. "I'm praying for everyone and everything to be OK. Please let's just leave it at that."

Olmberg's take on Tiger's alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel? "You seem to know more than enough already," she told Us. "There is enough for them to handle already. Please can you give everyone space."

The Swedish mother is similarly dismissive of reports of her daughter's supposed involvement in Friday's crash, and suggestions that a heated argument led to Tiger's injuries. "This is gossip," she said.

Olmberg is grandmother to the couple's two children: Charlie, born in February of this year, and Sam Alexis, born in 2007.

As for supposed mistress, Rachel Uchitel, she denied any wrongdoing to Usmagazine.com, saying "I did not have an affair with Tiger Woods ... I met him twice and have not heard from him since."

    This is NOT a "black or white" money or no money issue!!! Elin and Tiger need privacy I can't imagine not being able to go the mall or out to eat without everyone involved in my personal life! Tiger has some major issues but that's their business! Elin my thoughts and prayers for you and your children I know everything seems dyer now but everything will be fine! This too shall pass! Tiger...don't make things harder than they already are do the right thing! Elin, I met Tiger at the Fed Ex Cup in Woodstock GA in 2003 and I was approached at that time I thought he was a jerk! I new that was you behind me I thought you were so pretty you actually collapsed at that tournament. Word of advice...Be strong and healthy your children need you to be there for them...Don't let this make you physically ill be strong!

    Tiger you going to be find, you made a big mistake,and you will get through this just step us and tell the media to take a hike, because if you don't they will have you killing yourself and that will may thier day. Be strong for all that love you. By the way I don't watch golf unless you are in the game. So for all of, tell the media to get off, and tell them on thier ground.

    Tiger is lost in the woods When it doesn't rain it pours, as the saying goes. Things seem to get from bad to worse at the Woods residence. The Tiger Woods saga continues to go on and some sports blogs listed on sports index www.dozensports site say the count of women linked to the richest sports star is up to 8. So the last thing you need is a sick mother-in-law thrown into the bargain! Barbro Holmberg, the mother of Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, was taken to the same hospital that treated Woods after his strange late-night car crash. Thankfully she returned after 11 hours, but it makes me wonder how on earth Woods can live in the same house as his wife and mother-in-law with all these allegations? I bet he wished he could get out and shoot some golf balls rather than be hounded at home.

    I AM SURE HIS MOTHER IS PROUD OF TIGER AND WHAT HE HAS DONE, NOW SHE GOT 9 MORE TO LOOK AT TO BE TIGERS NEW WIFE! I THINK THE PORNO STAR IS HIS BEST BET, SHE LIKE TO HAVE HER HAIR PULLED

    If Elin had been in a wreck leaving the house, and Tiger was said to have used a golf club to get her out, I think it is fair to say he would have been investigated for abuse. They are covering it up for her. Is it EVER legal? Only if someone has cheated? Only if it is a woman towards a man? Is she justified in going after him? Only if it were so for the man to do so.

    Elin came to US, not as a nanny, but as an au pair. An au pair is someone who comes as a member of the family, helps with the kids, gets a stipend, stays a year and then goes home. Elin comes from a well off and well connected family. I hope she takes the kids and goes back to Sweden. She has kept a low profile, has not sought public attention, and, with her child psychology and au pair background, has no doubt been a good mom to her children. Take the kids and go home, Elin! And get yourself an HIV test, as someone suggested. Line up a dozen of the best divorce attorneys in the US, immediately. Good luck!!!

    1. HOLMBERG...YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND SWITCHED TO OLMBERG, WHAT'S WRONG, CAN'T SPELL?
  • December 04, 2009 - 8:22pm truth Says:

    I wonder what kind of home education from the mother-in-law. A wise mother would not allow her daughter acting like that. Tiger deserves a better wife. He made a wrong choice in selecting wife.

    Elin, PLEASE get tested for AIDS.

    Welcome America to Jasper, Elin & her mom. Here Adulterty is treated as a human failing. If you talk to the Republican senator from Nevada, it is legal too. So can money buy happiness? No. I work in McDonals, married to a wonderful hardworking wife and have god's gift of 2 children. With out modest income, we are happy to be with one another as much as possible. Our occasional going out is for a free happy meal at McDonalds.

  • December 03, 2009 - 3:44am Shelby's Aunt Says:

    What kind of a mother encourages her daughter to stay with a scumbag like Tiger Woods? Are you nuts????!!!!????? Your daughter and grandchildren need to get the heck out of Dodge and the pig-headed, holier-than-thou son in law of yours. Shame on you for wanting her to stay!

  • December 02, 2009 - 12:14am Kathy Says:

    How did she get a golf club so quickly?? Why can't men keep their "thingy" in their pants?? MEN ARE ALL ALIKE... They are all dogs and if you think you have one who will not cheat on you, well you had better wise up and do not turn your back on him.
