Years After Their Rough Split, Ex-wife Elin Nordegren ‘Bent Over Backwards’ for Tiger Woods After His Horrific Car Crash in 2021

Tiger Woods has suffered some close calls in the past, but one of the closest of all was his car accident in 2021. Woods’ car had flipped over, leaving him with multiple injuries and requiring surgery. He spent numerous days in the hospital, and even after being released, his movement was restricted. 

The 82-time PGA Tour winner had to spend a lot of his time away from golf. But he didn’t care much about it because, thanks to his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, he got to spend that time with his children.

Due to the extent of the injuries, Tiger spent a lot of time in the hospital. His recovery that followed was no walk in the park either.

Around six weeks after the accident, Woods was back home. And since he could not go around to meet his kids, his ex-wife brought them to him. Sources close to Woods said, “A lot of that is because of Elin, who is just amazing. She’s been incredible since the crash.”

Woods spent the majority of his free time with his kids and his girlfriend, Erica Herman. And the golf pro owed it all to his ex-wife. “She has bent over backwards to make sure that he can see the kids while he recovers from his injuries,” said the sources. Tiger spent “almost every day” of his recovery with his family.

In 2015, Woods sat down with Lorne Rubenstein from Time, where he spoke of his current relationship with his ex-wife.

The 15-time major winner expressed his regret at not being more honest and upfront with Elin sooner, saying, “We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids.” I wish I would have known that back then.” But he was grateful now to have this close friendship with her.
