Tiger and Elin have officially divorced

Tiger Woods and his Swedish wife Elin Nordegren have officially divorced, nine months after his middle-of-the-night car crash outside his home set off shocking revelations that golf's biggest star had been cheating big-time on his wife.
The divorce was filed in Bay County Circuit Court in Florida. The couple married in October 2004 in Barbados and have two children, 3 and 1.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," they said in a statement released by attorneys.

"While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."

Terms of the divorce were not released, except that they will "share parenting" of their three-year-old daughter, Sam, and 19-month-old son, Charlie.

Woods is playing golf this week at The Barclays in northern New Jersey.

The sex scandal cost him millions of dollars in corporate endorsements and forced him to take five months away from the game, including two months in therapy in a Mississippi clinic, when he was trying to save his marriage.
It has been previously reported that the divorce will cost Woods £500 million. In return he gets shared parenting of the two children and Elin's silence. That should at least bring Woods some peace of mind.
