No way that is possible that is over 1/2 of his net worth.

That was my first thought too. Maybe that amount includes some kind future earnings from endorsement contracts he signed while they were married. I just heard about it tonight on the local sports. I believe it came out of the Orlando Sentinal newspaper.

Now according to TMZ she is getting 100 million.

Sounds more realistic than the 750 million.

---

Elin Nordegren -- The $100 Million Woman

TMZ has learned ... Elin Nordegren will walk away from her marriage with Tiger Woods with approximately $100 million.

As one source with direct knowledge of the terms of the divorce tells TMZ, "She'll be getting close to $100,000,000."

There have been reports Elin would score $750 million, but we have confirmed that figure is wrong. Indeed, as we first reported, Tiger is not even worth $750 million. We're told his net worth is somewhere between $500 and $600 million.

The $100 million is way more than Elin would have received under the prenup.

Sources say Elin will receive child support, but we do not know the specific amount.

As for the $100 million figure ... this is not speculation ... it comes from sources with direct knowledge of the property settlement agreement.

To put this in some perspective, Elin will be getting 10 times what Rachel Uchitel scored from Tiger.

One year later, Woods thinks game is going forward

By Associated Press ,

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A news helicopter showed up over Victoria Golf Club early Wednesday morning, about the time Tiger Woods set foot on the course for the first time on the eve of his title defense in the Australian Masters.
The chopper left a short time later and never returned.
There was not much buzz — in the sky or on the ground — compared with his appearance a year ago at Kingston Heath, when some 7,000 fans complained that helicopter rotors kept them from hearing the sound of Woods' iron shots.
The crowd was not even half that size for his pro–am round Wednesday, a reflection of Woods being a regular in these parts. It's his second straight year Down Under after an 11–year absence, and he'll likely be back next year for at least the Presidents Cup.
Some look at this Australian Masters as Woods coming full circle.
It was in Melbourne a year ago that the National Enquirer first linked him to a New York nightclub hostess. And it was here that he last looked like a daunting figure in golf. He won for the 82nd time in his career. He was No. 1 in the world by miles.
Woods doesn't see it that way.
"I think I'm just here to defend the title," he said. "I'm here to play a great golf course and play against a great field. And that's how I'm looking at it."
Does he at least return with mixed emotions?
Woods shook his head.
"I wanted to come back," he said. "I love it down here. I always have."
He returns with his game in such bad shape that he faces the prospect of going an entire year without winning for the first time in his professional career. His impeccable image is not much better, shredded by revelations of infidelity that led to his divorce.
Woods at least can roll with the punches. At a gala dinner Tuesday night at the Crown Casino, he was on stage with Shane Warne, legendary in Australian cricket as a leg spinner and for his many dalliances.
"I think we've got a little bit in common," Warne said with a smile, pausing for effect. "I love golf, too."
Woods broke into a smile and the audience roared with laughter. Such a self–deprecating moment is another step for Woods as he tries to move forward, and he hopes his game is not far behind.
The field at Victoria features fewer players in the top 50 than any other tournament Woods has played all year, which doesn't make it any easier. It includes Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Camilo Villegas, Sergio Garcia and Geoff Ogilvy (News - Alert), who grew up at Victoria and knows this course better than any in the world.
"I don't think you can be missing in any part of your game," Ogilvy said. "You can probably not be at your best in every aspect, but you have to do everything pretty well to do well around here, which is why I think it's a really good test."
Woods wasn't particularly sharp Wednesday, missing several tee shots to the left. He was hitting driver more than he will when the tournament gets under way Thursday, and while he thrilled the gallery with a 20–foot eagle putt on his final hole, they didn't see the tee shot that landed in a bush. Woods had a spectator toss it back toward the fairway.
It's that kind of golf that produced only three top 10s this year, including a tie for sixth last week in the HSBC Champions, where he finished 12 shots out of the lead.
"I'm going to go out there and give it my best, and I'll try and make sure I give myself every opportunity to win this event," Woods said. "If it happens, it happens. It if doesn't, it doesn't. That doesn't change my commitment to getting better."
That commitment revved up again in August.
Three tournaments into his return, Woods parted ways with swing coach Hank Haney and tried to figure it out himself. The results were even worse, and it didn't help that his time was divided between golf and working out a divorce settlement.
Woods eventually wound up with Sean Foley, intrigued by his ideas through two other Foley pupils, Sean O'Hair and Hunter Mahan. But even after they met up at the PGA Championship, Woods said he wasn't sure he was prepared for another swing change.
He revamped his swing twice under Butch Harmon, again under Haney. He knew how long it could take, and he wasn't sure he was ready to go that direction. It was only after the PGA Championship, where Woods tied for 28th, that he decided to take it on.
"I was definitely waffling," he said. "At the PGA, every night I was trying to figure out, 'Should I actually do this or not?' Because I know the undertaking it is. I know how much effort it takes, how many swings you have to make in the mirror, how many things you have to think about, the adjustments that it takes. Do I really want to do that again?"
He saw enough positive signs at Whistling Straits that he got together with Foley during the week between the PGA Championship and the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Walking off the course Wednesday, Woods had a text from Foley, who was giving him a list of swing keys to remember.
"When that laundry list becomes short and he says, 'Go play well tomorrow,' then it will be a little bit better," Woods said.

Gillette Drops Tiger Woods
Golfer loses another endorsement deal
Reporter:
from Tim Staudt

tiger+woods+miss+cut.jpg




Proctor and Gamble Company is dropping Tiger Woods and several other athletes from its endorsement line-- it ends a three year run with Woods involved in its Gillette Champions marketing program. It has now been 13 months since Woods' marital infidelities scandal broke. Woods has lost several other key endorsements in the past year. Gillettee says it will keep other athletes under contract including New York Yankees slugger Derek Jeter and hockey star Alex Ovechkin.

nice try, but the players is not a major.

tiger doesn't win majors anymore, just meaningless tourneys like this.
The TPC isn't a Major, but it should be. In fact if I had a choice between keeping the PGA Championship as a major or the TPC, I would pick the TPC. It has the better field, no amateurs or PGA course pros, more money, and more international players.

i can't really think of a major when Tiger isn't hurt that he isn't in some sort of contention. Players is top three tourneys of the year for me. Excellent course and the prize money isnt that shabby

The prize money and the Win is a "Major" in my eyes. Biggest pay day of the year. Good laws, second place pays over a $1M.

Tiger's bad round and knocking himself out of competition for the Memorial will only help his odds going into the U.S. Open. I've found that the best time to bet on him is when there is some sort of negative news where the public doesn't think he has his best chance to win that week. For example The Players Championship. He hadn't won that tournament in 10 years. And all we heard all week was it just wasn't the type of course that gives him his best chance to win. So we got at least some halfway decent odds on him that week. I think Tiger feeds off of all this negativity about him, and he brings his A game to these kinds of tournaments. Now if we could just get one more bad or very average round out of Tiger today, it should put a few doubts in the public's heads, and bring up those odds by another one or two points for the US Open.
