The UK’s News of the World newspaper is reporting that Tiger Woods wife Elin Nordegren wants a divorce, sole custody of the couple’s two kids, and half of Woods fortune estimated at nearly $600 million
The paper also reports that Woods reneged on his promise to go to rehab. As had been previously reported, Woods was rumored to be entering a rehab center in Arizona for his alleged addictions to sex and the prescription drugs Ambien and Vicodin.
According to the paper, a friend of Nordegren said: "Tiger was supposed to be working on getting better and he hasn't done anything. Instead he just went to stay with a friend in Maryland and says he's 'trying to get better on his own'.
“Elin is livid he hasn't checked into rehab and gotten himself off his drugs. He's acting like a big baby.
"Now she wants 100 per cent divorce, 100 per cent custody of the children and half of everything. And she WON'T be changing her mind."
As previously reported, Nordegren has consulted veteran celebrity divorce attorney Sorrell Trope.
Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting on Monday that a divorce for Woods and Nordegren may not be a sure thing. The Web site says that she is conflicted about whether to end her marriage. Nordegren’s biggest issues, according to TMZ’s source, are Woods’ 3-year affair with one of his mistresses and another alleged affair while she was pregnant.

Comments
Again Elin is being selfish! What about the kids? Should they grow up without a father? His infidelity doesn't mean he's a bad father – it means he's a lousy husband. tictacdo.com - Tiger Woods knows how to be a good father and his children shouldn't be deprived of their biological father.
Actually, it sort of does mean he is not a great father. Most father's will be with their wife when their child is going to be born instead of hammering some broad. Also, he was spending a ton of time with these women, that he didnt spend with his children. Sure, he may have been great when he was around, but from the sound of it... when was that again?
