Tiger Woods Makes A Candid Admission About His Relationship With Elin Nordegren

Golf may be a gentleman's game full of concentrated drives and careful, quiet putts, but off the green, some competitors lead legendarily wild lives. One of the most famous golf bad boys (with a really cool name) is Tiger Woods. In between racking up Masters wins and green jackets, he dominated gossip magazines in the late-2000s because of his extreme infidelity off the back 9. Details were murky when the story broke, but a decade later, Tiger's brutal admission finally shed insight on the end of his relationship — and how they're making it work.

Tiger's confession

“I was unfaithful," Tiger Woods said during a tearful 2010 press conference. "I had affairs. I cheated. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself." The world was stunned. Suddenly Tiger, the golf pro with a legendary life, had a lot of explaining to do.

Really having it all

As cliché as it sounds, Tiger Woods really did have it all in the early 2000s. In 2004, he married Elin Nordegren — a model with ambitions of being a child psychologist — and in 2005, he won his fourth Masters Tournament. Tiger and Elin would go on to have two children and a messy, messy life.

That aged poorly

Less than two years after getting together, Tiger proposed to Elin. They had a tropical wedding in Barbados in October 2004. "I love the idea of growing together," Tiger had said. "I want to have a relationship where we change for the better and continue to get closer." His dreams didn't stop there.

Knowing what he wanted

Besides his desire to get married, Tiger was also excited to be a dad. "We're definitely going to have kids soon," he said. The golfer was such a planner, he even knew how many kids he wanted — and their genders.
