Even in the history of sports scandals, there has always been something pretty weird about Tiger Woods cheating on his wife and getting a very messy (and very expensive) divorce. Part of what is strange is that golf is not a sport that lends itself to nearly as many scandals as, say, football or baseball. Another strange aspect is Woods himself: confident on and off the green, Woods seemed like the last guy we could expect to generate a scandal.
However, he did just that with a string of affairs that imploded his marriage to Elin Nordegren. Over the years, many have wondered if she could have seen this coming and if she had any legal protections in place in the form of a pre-nuptial agreement. It turns out the prenup was there, but its contents are likely to surprise you. Keep reading to discover everything about Tiger Woods’ prenup with his ex-wife!
A divorce that will live in infamy
It’s possible the world might not have known nearly as much about Tiger Woods’ failed marriage to Elin Nordegren if the golfer hadn’t accidentally invited public attention. It all started when the athlete crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant in 2009. Everyone wanted to know what caused this, and it came out that Woods was in the middle of a domestic dispute with Nordegren over his marital affairs.
After that news went public, it was like a faucet had been turned on: more and more women came out and alleged that they had affairs with Woods. This naturally led to a divorce from his wife, and considering that the golfer was worth $600 million at the time, many wondered whether Woods had signed a prenup and just how good it really was.
