Although golf fans are well aware of what led to the divorce of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, there are still many details that some are less familiar with. Although many people think that your life is shaped the most by your wife, your marriage and your relationships with others have a huge influence on your parents.
The main reason for Tiger’s divorce from Elin, of course, was his affairs, which saw the light of day. Nordegren decided to put an end to everything and get a divorce.
However, it seems that there were some obstacles much earlier that indicated that this marriage might not last or would have negative consequences for Tiger.
Earl Woods’ impact
His father, Earl Woods, advised Tiger not to marry before the age of 30, considering that his wife could be an obstacle to success in the world of golf. However, Tiger married Elin much earlier, and decided to build a life with her.
An interesting fact is that when Elin met the famous golfer, she was already in a relationship, and one of the sources pointed out that Nordegren was not in love with him.
Also, one of the sources stresses that Elin had a negative attitude towards the 49-year-old golfer, and that he was not her type. She even refused an invitation to a first date. A huge problem was the fact that Tiger was famous, and that turned her off.
She admitted that she felt stressed due to his popularity and media attention, and clearly did not enjoy it.
Elin revealed that she is a shy person, not wanting to be in the center of attention, but still, she decided to give Tiger a chance after a while.
Some of the sources say that Tiger was not nervous on the day of the wedding, which was obviously strange, considering that the experienced golfer admitted that he is nervous from the first day he steps on the golf course. He was probably not ready for marriage at that moment, so it seemed like an ordinary day for him.
Their marriage still attracts various controversies.
