Tiger Woods heads to Barbados with wedding plans in making
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) -- Tiger Woods says he's planning a Caribbean vacation, but Barbados is abuzz with reports that he's set to wed Swedish model Elin Nordegren this week.
Newspapers in Barbados and Ireland have reported that the two are to marry early this week at the Sandy Lane luxury resort on the Caribbean island's west coast.
Hotel manager Wilbert Mason said he doesn't know of any plans for a wedding. But two sources who said they had knowledge of the event told The Associated Press that it was planned for Tuesday at the resort. They spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Barbados Daily Nation newspaper ran a story Wednesday under the headline "Tiger Woods tying knot at Sandy Lane."
Woods declined to confirm the reports, and when asked about a Caribbean vacation said only, "I'm ready to go diving. I'm ready to hop in that water and shoot some fish."
"All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that," Woods told reporters in Ireland where he played in the American Express Championship. "I think you guys would be the last people I'd ever tell."
Nordegren arrived in Barbados last Monday with four other women including her twin sister, according to an airport employee, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.
