  • Story Text: Divorce papers pertaining to Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were released to the media on Tuesday (August 24) confirming that the world's No. 1 golfer and his Swedish wife are no longer married.
    A joint statement from the couple, released by their lawyers and published on Woods' website, said the judgment dissolving the marriage was entered at the Bay County Circuit Court in Florida.
    "The judgment provides for shared parenting of their two children," the statement said, asking for privacy for the family.
    "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," the joint statement said.
    Woods, a 14-time major champion, returned to the game in April after losing up to $35 million sponsorship revenue as his private life unravelled over allegations that surfaced in late November and December about affairs between him and several women.
