Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Once Proved She Has No Love Left for Tiger Woods by Making a Huge Million Dollar Decision

Professionally, Tiger Woods has achieved nothing but success. He has won over 100 titles worldwide, including 15 majors and 18 World Golf Championships. On the contrary, he struggled to keep up with his personal life, especially the relationship with his then-wife, Elin Nordegren. 

A mistake on the golfer’s part led the couple to get a divorce in 2010. Notably, as part of the settlement, Nordegren reportedly received $100 million from her ex-husband. While their relationship ended in court, the latter wanted to prove it to the entire world. Hence, she took a shocking measure.

Nordegren auctioned $2.5 million worth of jewelry Woods gifted her throughout their six-year-long marriage. According to reports, her jewelry collection included pieces from popular brands like Tiffany, Harry Winston, and Cartier. 

Elin Nordegren didn’t auction her jewelry for money! 

“It’s the ultimate act of revenge,” a source close to Nordegren said. The source further added, “It’s her way of saying, ‘Now do you get the message? It’s over!” 

Some might believe that she did it for money. However, $2.5 million is nothing compared to the $100 million she got in the divorce settlement. In fact, the former Swedish model and nanny had revealed that she took the money from Woods not because she wanted it but because she needed it. 

“Money doesn’t make you happy,” Woods’ ex-wife told the People. “But I have to be honest: It is making some things easier,” she added. “I have the opportunity to be with my children as much as I want.”

Woods and Nordegren had two children in their six-year marriage; Sam Alexis Woods and Charlie Axel Woods. And according to her, she accepted the money to provide a better life for the children and to adjust to the new situation. 

Do Tiger Woods and his ex-wife get along well after the divorce? 

The couple’s divorce was very messy due to the media attention that it grabbed. However, they decided that it was best to co-parent their children. 

“She’s been one of my best friends,” Woods revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2016. The 15-time major champion also explained that they communicate better after their divorce than they did when they were married. Furthermore, when Woods was recovering from a nearly fatal accident in 2021, Nordegren made sure to help him see his children. 

Woods and Nordegren have become best friends now, who share everything with each other. However, the scandal and divorce were too much for her at the time and she went on to auction the gifts that she received from him to prove she no longer had any feelings for him.
