Tiger Woods, Elin get divorced


PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods and his wife are officially divorced.

The lawyers for Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a statement that the divorce became official today in Bay County Circuit Court.

The divorce comes nine months after Woods crashed his SUV outside their home near Orlando, setting off explosive revelations that the world's No. 1 golfer had been cheating on his wife. It led to Woods losing millions of dollars in endorsements and taking five months away from the game.

Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will share parenting of their two children, ages 3 and 1.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," the two said in a statement released by McGuireWoods, the law firm representing Nordegren. "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."
