Tiger Woods’ just signed a divorce with his ex-wife due to…
After an amazing ascent to stardom, Tiger Woods fell from grace and returned to the pinnacle of his sport, all documented in tabloid fever. When he accomplished a “grand slam,” winning the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and Open Championship, the professional golfer was just 24 years old. The only golfer to ever do so, he held all four major championships simultaneously in that year.
And then it all collapsed in November 2009. Several women eventually came looking forward professing to have slept with the married athlete after a high-profile car crash gave rise to cheating allegations. Woods admitted, “I was unfaithful,” during a press conference held a few months after the accident through the use of CNN. I engaged in extramarital affairs. I lied. It is unacceptable what I did.

In reality, Woods disliked the mansion’s size when he was on crutches during his recovery at the house following an injury he had in a vehicle accident in February 2021. He smiled and said, “I didn’t realize how far it is from one side of the property to the other and back,” to Golf Digest. “I constructed a pretty lovely house for myself, but I haven’t been able to do what I love to do, which is go outside and spend time in nature. Sometimes I just want to go outside, so I crutch and lie on the grass for an hour. “Following their divorce, Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren received a $100 million divorce payment. This indicated that Woods was trying to find ways to save money, and selling his yacht was one option he looked into. The Wall Street Journal stated that he’d purchased the yacht in 2004 for $20 million. He gave the yacht the name Privacy, but the makers of the vessel used his name in their marketing, which led to a lawsuit that awarded him a cool $1 million in damages.
