the money is pretty meaningless, actually. He could give her every penny he has today, and tommorow he would still have more than I will make in the next ten years.

what is 750 million, really, to make it all go away quietly? He's tiger fucking woods! He just wants to get back to winning tournaments & banging hoes.

LMAO, you think they gave Tiger up to Elin in exchange for some dough?

LOL, yeah they probably did. But that's on Tiger, too. He should have kept his pen out of other girs' inkwells.

Did I think? Look, anyone advising u 2 "settle" 4 upwards of $750m in NOT worth having on your team.

If it's true.

And I think I covered that. He'll loose A LOT my respect if it is. More respect than he lost for sleeping around like a dawg. No amount of guilt is worth that much money. It's ridiculous beyond the words I have to explain it right now in my pre-coffee condition.

LMAO, get some good coffee!

Like I've said, I think it's more likely that whatever Elin has, it's bad enough that it could cost Tiger the chance to ever see his kids again.

That's why she was able to set her price, and he paid it.

That's why she was able to ask for, and apparently get, sole custody.

That's why she was able to demand that Tiger can never, ever bring a woman around the children that is not his wife.

What else makes any sense? Tiger may be scum, but I don't think he's so stupid as to just start writing $750 million checks for no good reason. Hell, if we know anything about Tiger at all, it's that he's one cheap SOB.

He's the LAST person that would write a check like that. So I think that means Elin has some bad, bad stuff on him.

As I and a couple of other people have mentioned, the only thing it could be about is the steroids accusations. There is nothing she could say about his sleeping with (reportedly) 18 women that would make people think any less of him. Maybe there were other men involved in some of those instances (not saying Tiger slept with them, just that they were "involved"). But again, I find this really suspect. It hasn't been reported very many places. It certainly hasn't been the lead story on every website and news show that you'd expect it to be if it were announced it was the truth. I just don't see the dude signing over 3/4 of his reported worth AND custody of his kids, "because she asked him to". It doesn't work in my head, at all! And if it ends up that it's working in Tiger's head, well, then he's either done some SERIOUS dirt that nobody else knows about (because if anybody other than he and Elin knew about it you know it would be out there), or he's a complete and total wuss!!

$750 million is the ONLY way to atone? Bullshit.

Tiger Woods doesn't want atonement. Tiger Woods wants Elin's silence.

She told him it would take $750 million or more to get it, and he said OK.

He's NOT getting custody of the kids - Elin gets SOLE custody. He CAN'T bring ANY woman with him when he sees his kids, unless he's married to her.

He gets NOTHING for this money EXCEPT Elin's silence. And he has decided that silence is worth the money.

If you want to get mad, get mad at Tiger for doing stuff that is apparently so bad that he's willing to pay Elin $750 million or more not to tell the world what else he's done.

I hope all that pussy was good, cause it sure cost a lot.

I will wait until the final settlement to see if in fact this is going to costs him 750 mil. Yanno, I could understand if they've known each other since grade school...dated the whole time....she shared responsibility for "putting him on". But 750 is a bit much, and I will have to wait until everythiing is final before I can really believe it. Since this whole thing started there have been several figures thrown in the air by the media. Sometimes it seems like they are playing a "guessing" game.

No way he pays that much..

He's gonna pay no doubt, custody and loot.

Tiger does not have $750 million dollars...that may be his worth but not what his wife will get

Not sure exactly how you know that to be fact, but I'd sure like to see some proof of that claim.

That's what happens when you cheat on your wife and the mother of your kids with dog food dish pussy

Frederick96 said:

You know you make a very good point. Even if he is estimated to amass a 1.5 billion dollar fortune. All of that money is not "liquid'. Some of that money goes for all sorts of things, and to pay for all sorts of expenses. Tiger woods is a "Business" not just a golf player. So even if Tiger's business is in fact 1.5 billion dollars that does not mean that it is practical for him to just up and sell everything, fire people, etc.

I'm just not feeling that number. Not sure if we'll ever really know. If it is not a "judgement" and in fact a "settlement"; there's always a chance that the terms of the settlement can be made private, and we'll never find out. "Settled for an undisclosed amount".

Good for Elin. I thought he was going to trick her into staying in that hellish marriage with him for a while there. Glad she's walking out.

Tiger really done lost his damn mind. I can see 25 or 30 million and i'm being nice. I know

her and the kids gotta be taking care of but damn he's paying for her next boy toy and

mansion.

His wife went out straight "gangsta". She bashed in the cheating mofo's back windows with a golf club, caused the mofo to crash into a fire hydrant and cut that lil "pretty face" that the "itches" wanted him for, and then she stuck him for damned near all of his cheddar. See this is how "gansta's" go out, they go out straight up "gully" ya heard. She has definitely changed the stereotypes of the "white chick wife" in my book.

If the story is true, she's leaving Tiger with his dick in his pants, and a bunch of hoes on the sidelines. Nuffin else! Cheaters you bedda recognize!

[Edited 7/1/10 19:53pm]

I'm tellin' y'all it's not true. First of all, nothing is being reported as facts. Nothing is coming from a legal standpoint. No statements have been given by anybody with ANY kind of authority. It's all being delivered sensationally as "reportedly". Really? By who? Well, nobody! It's not true.

And finally somebody has issued some kind of article that actually makes sense. Forbes.com is saying Tiger's worth, by their estimates (and that IS what they do) is somewhere around $600 million. They also say that Elin will likely get a FRACTION of what is currently being "reported".

So once again, it's just a continuation of the first rumor (with more made up crap added to it) started a month or so ago until somebody can show me ANY KIND OF PROOF that this is actually happening.

Random, conflicting, befuddled thoughts:

• the settlement figure for silence makes it seem like TW's an even bigger perv/pig than we'd already figured him for -- or at least leaves most people with the impression that he walks away with something (even if he doesn't really).
• the figure also makes him seem far richer than he probably is.

• if he can afford this deal and still eat, let alone live well, he just might attract the IRS' attention.
• He's stupid for agreeing to such an egregious deal. Unless, of course, Elin has videotape of him from the night of the "crash," cowering from her as she prepared to hit him again...
• He's stupid for agreeing to such an egregious deal. But, we figured him for stupid already.

They could be factoring his future earning potential. Even Michael Douglas' ex-wife filed this week to get some of his Wall Street 2 money and they've been divorced for over 10 years.

Many divorce settlements are paid out over time in installments not in one lump sum.

Don't roll your eyes at me. Find a quotable, legally knowledgable source to back any of the reports. You can't. Just unnamed quotation marks repeating the same unfounded rumors. I've said since the beginning of this thread that this report was suspect. Still is.

So why are you still posting here since you've already spoken??? It's not that serious for me to do all that especially since the money ain't coming outta my pocket so I couldn't give a fuck. Like I said, it was reported on ESPN and on the local news twice. If you're so concerned why don't you do the research cuz I got better things to do. But I will spare a moment or two to laugh at Tigga's dumb ass which is the point of the thread. and

OK, so now you're going to backpedal and make contradictory statements instead of proving you supposed point. If you don't give a fuck, why are YOU still here? I gotcha loud and clear, hater. I did do the reseach. I did a search for "Tiger Woods divorce settlement" and read approximately 15 articles. They all repeat the exact same rumors with quotes that have no names and no sources attributed to them. I also watch ESPN for several hours each day and they are not running anything about this story at this time. If they had been able to validate the information the story would be on loop every fifteen minutes and on the scroll at the bottom of the screen 24/7 - it's not. Lastly, I'm still posting here because it's an ongoing discussion. Duh. What kind of question is that?

you play, you pay!

If I was messing with Chester Cheatah, I'd get that cheddar too!

Forbes: Tiger Woods Divorce Story is Bunk

Forbes magazine says it's absolute bunk that Tiger Woods is about to pay wife Elin Nordegren $750 million in a divorce settlement.

That figure has been tossed around for a couple of months in reports, with no named sourcing, and the rumor picked up speed this week when an English tabloid, The Sun, recycled the story.

The reason Forbes says Woods can't possibly be paying a $750 million settlement is because his net worth is about $600 million.

Writes Forbes senior editor Kurt Badenhausen:

"We've been tracking Tiger's earnings since he turned pro in 1996. Last year he became the first athlete to earn a cumulative $1 billion through his income from prize money, appearance fees, endorsements and his golf course design business. Nike has been his biggest benefactor paying the world's top golfer in the neighborhood of $250 million since 1996. The relationship has obviously bolstered Nike as its golf division reported annual sales of $638 million last week. Tiger's annual earnings in 2010 will be down at least $30 million after sponsors like Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade walked away. He still earned $105 million over the past 12-months and ranks fifth on our recent list of the most powerful celebrities.

"Yet those earnings are before the tax man and his agents at IMG took their cut. And if you think Tiger made a killing in the stock market, think again. The S&P 500 is at the same level it was at 12 years ago. By our count Woods is worth $600 million and any divorce settlement is likely to be worth a fraction of current reports."

How can you project what his future earnings will be?

He doesn't get residuals for past tournaments.

There are no 'future' earnings to factor in.

SCNDLS said:

Tiger Woods has reportedly agreed to pay at least $750 million in a divorce settlement with his wife, Elin Nordegren, according to the London Sun.

As part of the agreement, Nordegren can never speak publicly about Tiger's extramarital affairs and Tiger isn't allowed to bring any girlfriends around his two young children.

The Sun reports that Woods and Nordegren will sign divorce papers next week during a court hearing in Orlando, Fla.

The deal will also reportedly give Nordegren full custody of the couple's children, 3-year-old daughter Sam and 1-year-old son Charlie.

Woods will pay the 30-year-old Nordegren between $750 million and $833 million, provided she doesn't reveal any details about her former husband's reported affairs.

I know that the Tiger Woods Franchise is worth over a billion dollars, but Tiger Woods himself, isn't worth as much as $750 million. Is this an acurate account of his divorce proceedings?
