Tiger Woods was married to Elin Nordegren for almost six years. But in August 2010, the golfer was divorced by his wife, and as per sources, the outcome was a result of a cheating scandal. Woods had several affairs, but the fifteen-time major winner was found betraying his wife with a next-door girl. Elin couldn’t bear it anymore and decided to part ways.
In their years of marriage, there were several untold stories nobody knew about. And these are written in the book: ‘The big miss: My years coaching Tiger Woods’ by Hank Haney, who was the former coach of the eighty-two-time PGA Tour winner.
The former coach wrote that Tiger’s wife, Elin, once asked him to celebrate one of his victories since her former employee, Jesper Parnevik, used to do that with his wife every time he won.
But discouraging her thoughts, he said, “E, that’s not what we do. I’m not Jesper. We’re supposed to win.” This came as a shock to her, and she realized there were depths of understanding she had yet to fathom. Apart from having differences with Elin, Woods’ bond with Erica also made things sour.
