Tiger Woods yachts to Bahamas as Elin Nordegren off to Sweden

Tiger Woods is proceeding to the Bahamas in his yacht for the holidays while his wife Elin Nordegren is said to be off back to Sweden for Christmas with her family.

Tiger Woods launched his yacht from Palm Beach in Florida for the Bahamas at the weekend, with People magazine quoting an unidentified friend as saying that the golf star faced a deeply unhappy time ahead.

Woods turns 34 next week and remains unusually silent, off the media radar. Monday evening Larry King Live replayed his June 10 1998 interview, when he was only 22.

‘Woods devastated’

“He’s devastated at everything he has lost,” the magazine quoted the source as saying. “He will go through some dark times. It’s going to be a lonely Christmas for him.”

Woods has admitted cheating on wife Elin and at least 14 women, one for every major golf crown he has won, have claimed to have had affairs with the world’s first billionaire sportsman.

Sponsors have backed away from Woods, who has put his golf career on hold indefinitely to work on his personal woes.

People also reported that Elin Woods, a Swedish model whom Woods married in 2004, will take the couple’s two children with her to Sweden.

Divorce can wait
Celebrity website TMZ reported Elin would not immediately move to divorce Woods but said she has been especially upset by the sheer number of her husband’s affairs and two particularly painful relationships that were highlighted.

She was reportedly most upset about a three-year relationship Woods had with one woman and that he was with another woman while she herself was pregnant.

People also reported a source saying that Tiger’s Thai-born mother, Kultida Woods “wants to know how he could do this to his family.”

Meanwhile, MSNBC’s Courtney Hazlett said sources close to Woods indicated he may appear on the January 9 edition of Saturday Night Live, to be hosted by his friend, retired basketball star Charles Barkley.”

Tiger Woods 'Love Child' and How Tiger Woods Killed National Enquirer Story in 2007

Tiger Woods has a Love Child claims mistress and How Tiger Woods Killed a National Enquirer Affair Story in 2007: New details on how Tiger Woods’ representatives killed a National Enquirer story on his infidelity by giving an extensive cover interview to Men’s Fitness have emerged.

Earlier reports said that the National Enquirer killed a story on a Woods affair in 2007 in exchange for a Men’s Fitness feature on the golfer.

According to new reports, National Enquirer’s main owner, American Media’s CEO David Pecker knew about Tiger Woods’ infidelity a long time ago but he traded silence for a Men’s Fitness cover story”. The editor-in-chief of the Men’s Fitness magazine left shortly thereafter in disgust, the NY Post reported.

And while American Media who owns both publications National Enquirer and Men’s Fitness, has denied the quid-pro-quo deal, the Wall Street Journal today reported further details of the story:

Mr. Woods had cut an unusual deal with American Media Inc., the owner of both Men’s Fitness magazine and the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper. Mr. Woods agreed to the cover shot and photo spread in Men’s Fitness, whose circulation of about 700,000 per issue is less than half of Golf Digest’s nearly 1.7 million, in return for the National Enquirer squelching a story and photographs purportedly showing Mr. Woods in a liaison with a woman who wasn’t his wife, according to people directly involved in the arrangement.

The Enquirer reportedly had photographs of Woods and a Florida waitress named Mindy Lawton in a car together in a church parking lot in “late winter or early spring of 2007,” the WSJ reports. The paper cites an individual who saw the pictures in reporting that “the photos were so poorly lit that it was nearly impossible to tell what the couple was doing in the parking lot” and that “it was unlikely the story could have been published without more evidence.”

Still, when the Enquirer approached Woods’ representatives about the photos, the reps almost immediately “made an offer,” the influential WSJ reported. It said:

If the Enquirer dropped the story, Mr. Woods would sit for an elaborate interview for sister publication Men’s Fitness, according to people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

Meanwhile, a Tiger Woods mistress claims $3 million to keep silence about a lovechild: A woman who claims to have Tiger Woods’ love child wants 1.5 million pounds to keep silent.

The internet magazine RadarOnline.com reported today that Tiger Wwas in relationship with Rogers and then the child was born.

Another report says that Rogers was simultaneously seeing a Serbian basketball player and the love child may be the result of that relationship.
