Yeah, right (Tiger Woods thread)

Learning to read is a definite time-saver.

When the couple married on Oct. 5, 2004, at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, Elin signed a prenuptial agreement reportedly worth $20 million after 10 years of marriage, not considered a large payout for someone who was already as successful as Tiger by then. (The tightlipped Woods camp, almost obsessive about releasing any personal information after Tiger’s blundering interviews with GQ in 1997, has never acknowledged the existence of the first prenup, although it’s been widely reported).

But in light of a string of women coming forward to say they had affairs with Tiger since his marriage, Elin has demanded that the prenup be rewritten, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker reported Wednesday. “The links legend’s spouse is reportedly being paid a hefty seven-figure amount—immediately transferred [sic] into an account she alone controls—to stick with her husband,” Zwecker wrote. “At this point, the couple needed to remain married for 10 years in order for Woods’ wife to collect a splitsville settlement of $20 million. I’m being told that time frame has been shortened—and the dollar amount increased ‘substantially.’”

The lawyer familiar with the couple’s negotiations told The Daily Beast that Tiger also has agreed to shorten the original prenup to seven years from the date of marriage, meaning it will vest in another two. And the revised agreement provides for a staggered schedule of payments spread out over five years that could be worth upward of $75 million. So for Elin to collect $80 million, she’ll need to stay with Tiger another seven years, be a dutiful wife in showing up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story. Even if she lasts only two more years, she’ll still walk away with nearly twice what she was entitled to under the original prenup.

Tiger’s advisers, who have successfully gotten the couple into counseling sessions, believe that keeping the marriage intact will help Tiger keep his corporate sponsors and bolster his dented image. Elin is herself considered a good asset. She’s never been a publicity hound or used her marriage to make money through self-help books, lecture series, or QVC makeup and jewelry lines. Rather, she’s just maintained a low profile and dedicated herself to being a spouse and mother. As opposed to some other celebrities, like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie, Elin has never pushed her kids into the public eye. So, now, if she is persuaded to stay, she knows little will be the same. Her quiet life is finished. A Los Angeles-based paparazzo told me that a photo of Elin and the children would fetch $250,000. Some agencies are offering $100,000 just for tips that pay off with photos.

I'd tell her to take a hike and get a new Swedish model.

Obviously after you were bored screwing her.

You've got to laugh over the just released police interview with the neighbor where he says "Tiger Woods was laying on the ground snoring (asleep) after the accident". Yeah, thats normal!

I cant wait for the tabloid comparisons of Tiger and Michael Jackson's addictions to pain meds. Does Tiger have his own anaesthesiologist to put him out at night? People want to know!

I think the "Tiger Girls" should get together and do a calendar.

[SlowwHand]

I just don't think that it all should be ignored just because they live in a gated community.
If 911 was called on any of us, it would be Adios for someone.

Give it up, Sloww. He's not going to prison, no matter how much you ***** about it online...

[SlowwHand]

I didn't say he and I didn't say prison, numbnuts.

[Kitschum]

They should have tasered him for good measure though

[DanS]

This is starting to surprise me. Wilt and Magic do thousands and they're celebrated. Tiger does a dozen and his sponsors are pulling out.

The latest is vicodin and ambien along with booze prior to the driving incident! I think he's been possessed by the spirit of Michael Jackson!

[KrazyHorse]

vicodin + booze = awesome

...or so I've heard

[SlowwHand]

The good news, the police sought a blood sample.
The bad news, they walked away when it was refused.

I still want to see one of you people pull a crap scenario like this and get away with it.
