Tiger Woods' cheated wife says it's over
Elin to end marriage after Christmas and head for Sweden
TIGER WOODS' MOST RECENT MISTRESS: Rachel
A DREAM GONE SOUR: Woods & Elin on their wedding day
MOVED OUT: Elin when she was a model
CHEATING Tiger Woods' wife will DUMP him after Christmas, we can sensationally reveal.
Shattered Swedish model Elin Nordegren is in talks with divorce lawyers but keeping up a show of normal family life for the sake of their two children.
With her mind in turmoil over what to do for the best, Elin wants to spend Christmas with Tiger and the kids in Sweden before a trial separation in the New Year, she confided to a close friend.
And last night, as major sponsor Gillette DROPPED the disgraced golf superstar from their advertising, the pal told us: "Elin will pretend it's the usual family celebration for the children and then ditch the man.
"In the short-term they'll act like any other loving couple. Elin won't break it all up right away. But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly."
As lurid details emerged of Tiger's serial flings furious Elin, 29, told him: "Don't talk to me, speak to your therapist! I don't want to see you!"
To prove her point she has ALREADY moved herself and the children - two-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie - OUT of the marital home to a separate house 200 yards down the road in Windermere, Florida.
And later will come the big move across the world - to the new Faglaro mansion she's bought on an island near Stockholm. Elin's plans come as the News of the World reveals that shamed Tiger, 33, argued with his Swedish mother-in-law just minutes before she collapsed and was dramatically rushed into hospital this week.
And we have discovered Tiger is STILL in touch with his most recent mistress Rachel Uchitel - the VIP party hostess who sparked the domestic row two weeks ago that flushed the whole scandal out into the open.
Despite Rachel clinching £1,350,000 hush money from Tiger not to talk to the media, she told a close friend how the billion-dollar sportsman:
- PROMISED that he'd leave his wife for her.
- CRUISED bars with her to pick up other women for threesomes.
- LAVISHED her with expensive gifts.
- ROWED with her after SHE was accused of bedding another celebrity.
Rachel's sordid revelations will come as another hammer blow to Elin.
Talking to friends about the five-month affair, 34-year-old Rachel insisted: "Tiger and I are still together no matter what. He said we have to wait a couple of weeks before we can meet up again. But I AM his number one girl.
"The media are putting me out there like I'm some whore but that's not what I'm about. It IS a relationship and I can't believe everyone is so surprised and making a big deal out if it.
"He says he still wants us to continue and I believe him. I'm really lonely without him right now."
Asked if she had taken part in threesomes with Tiger, she said: "Every once in a while we'd pick up a girl in a bar, a pretty girl.
"It was nothing serious, nothing crazy, just normal stuff. We had fun. That's what he wanted."
Then Rachel spoke of the hush money deal and revealed how Woods promised her he was going to walk out on his marriage.
"He always says he's gonna leave the wife," she told friends. "Tiger is taking care of me and I'm not gonna talk to anyone.
"It's crazy, so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut and keep what I have with Tiger - gotta keep it good. It will blow out over time.
"This is horrible for Tiger. This is gonna cost him so much money. I can't believe this is going on." Rachel told pals how the star loved buying her expensive gifts. "He bought me anything I wanted - everything and anything," she said. "It was great."
But the flood of other mistresses hitting the headlines has stunned Rachel.
"I thought I was the only one," she admitted to pals. "His wife wasn't happy and I'd have kicked off too if I were her. It's ridiculous."
Tiger's affair with Rachel began earlier at summer party in New York held by his baseball star pal Derek Jeter. Tiger was instantly attracted to her and they were soon having sex, meeting secretly in Las Vegas and New York.
Their romps became more and more adventurous and they recruited other women to join them.
A close friend of Rachel told us: "Tiger sent her a string of raunchy texts about group sex. It was his kinky thing.
"Rachel's always been an open-minded girl and loved what she called their 'fun'.
"She also told me they took drugs together, but didn't go into which substances. Sometimes they made love many, many times in a night. She said Tiger was awesome in bed." In October the pair almost ended their fling after a US magazine claimed she bedded Angel and Bones actor David Boreanaz, 40.
Our source said: "Tiger went mad, claiming he felt deeply hurt by what she'd done.
"Rachel argued that Tiger was married and had no right to try and rule her life.
"They had furious rows and texts and Rachel actually ended it.
"That drove Tiger crazy, and sparked him into sending dozens of emails outlining his feelings about how much she meant to him and how his marriage was over.
"Tiger then begged Rachel to fly to Australia for 'make-up sex'."
Tiger wrote: "Please just come down here. Just pack your things, come down here. We can fight down here or we can have make-up sex."
Other texts begged Rachel to confirm that he measured up in the bedroom.
A close childhood pal of Tiger's arranged for Rachel to join the star in Melbourne on November 12 where they did indeed have passionate make-up sex. But all their movements were watched by an undercover reporter for an American magazine. And the story of their affair broke on November 24.
Tiger was at first able to brush off the report with an emphatic denial.
But three days later wife Elin found the telltale texts on Tiger's phone and the game was up.
As Tiger's Friday statement admitting "infidelity" and announcing an "indefinite break from golf" to save the marriage went online, Elin's removal lorry was loading up packing cases from the family home.
Although Elin is seething, she has agreed to let Tiger help her with the transition to their new life - in a determined effort to keep the children happy.
Her pal explained: "Elin's understandably mad at Tiger, but she's hurting for him too.
"And she won't make Daddy, or Poppa as they call him, the bad guy - no matter how much she's suffering."
"Her anger is now mixed with some sadness involving Tiger and his state of mind and health right now. She's definitely going to Sweden though and at the moment sees it as a permanent move. And that means Tiger will have to fly back and forth to see his kids. But they're all used to that, and to being gone all the time.
"Elin's in constant turmoil with all these thoughts going round in her head. It's a confusing and emotional time.
"Her own parents' divorce affected her immensely, so she's not taking this decision lightly at all.
"He doesn't want to break up the family unit without serious consideration.
"She needs to think about what's best for their children.
"What she wants changes all the time. She's actually less angry now. And a sad element is really affecting her. She's very, very sad.
"She simply can't believe that the man she loves, the father of her two children, would do all of these things and act the way he's being portrayed. It's too much to take in all at once." The pal said Elin, who signed a prenuptial agreement before she married Tiger in 2004, was immediately in touch with lawyers when she learned of his affairs with up to 11 women.
"Her options have been laid out on the table, the pros and cons of staying or going," said the friend. "That certainly means financially and with regards to the kids and custody, that sort of thing."
Reports in America claim that Tiger has offered Elin £3 million from his £600 million fortune to stand by him for the next two years.
She will reportedly receive a further £34 million if she stays for a further five years.
One divorce lawyer predicted that she was in line to receive the biggest-ever divorce settlement of up to £185 million.
But our source told us Elin's tough stance has softened this week as she is determined not to make any rash decisions on her long-term future.
"The rush to file papers has slowed down," explained the pal. "It was hot and heavy at first. But I have to tell you that all those figures of what she'll make if she divorces are lies. It's just rumours. Elin won't stay for a buy-out of cash for each passing year. That won't happen.
"I can tell you for sure that Elin is not going to stay OR go for money. She can't be bought. She didn't marry Tiger for money and she won't stay with him for money. It's not about that for her."
The pal says Elin's weight has plummeted as she loses sleep and struggles to eat with all the stress.
"To have been lied to for so long and not have a clue about it, she's got to wonder about the man she married," said her friend.
"And she's also blaming herself, which is the worst. Elin's doubting her own abilities to chose the right people in her life.
"The trouble is Elin had no idea Tiger was cheating on her. He did an excellent job at keeping his lifestyle under wraps.
"And Elin isn't one of those controlling wives who checks up on her husband ten times a day. He'd never have married her if she was high maintenance or suspicious at all.
"So this stuff could have been happening during her pregnancies for all she knows.
"It's all so raw for her right now. But she doesn't believe he had 20 affairs and that there's a sex tape out there.
"The only one Elin really knows about for sure is Rachel Uchitel, and the fact that went on so long and that she travelled to various continents with him just kills her."
Extra worry was piled on Elin when her mother Barbro, 57, collapsed on Tuesday at their Windermere home after a row with Tiger and was rushed into hospital for 10 hours.
Our source revealed: "Barbro has been deeply affected by the dramas and taken much of the emotional burden off her daughter by acting as a go-between on all phone calls from Tiger. On Monday night he couldn't sleep and in a late-night call he had a heated exchange with Barbro.
"Added to that, little Sam wasn't well and Barbro was helping out. We believe a combination of all that stress and tiredness led her to collapse.
"Elin very much sees Tiger as the villain for causing more drama."
But although Tiger realises that things will never ever be the same with his wife after the scandal, he has been bullish with aides about how his millions of fans around the globe will view his disgrace.
Call it arrogance or confidence, but even as his multi-million sponsors were looking nervous last night one close source revealed:
"Tiger told us 'Once I win another tournament this will all be put on the back seat'."

Tiger Woods has been a superstar since almost boyhood; has had fame and fortune and the world in his hand. People like this in the stratosphere of life are not like common ordinary folk with simpler lives and more moderate appetites. What has ever been denied to him? He's had it all. It's hard to judge..he married a beautiful model at the peak of his career who reflected how he wanted to be seen. Folks with too much money, fame and adulation are not like us: they have terrific egos and strong appetites and the need to sate them. He's a great golfer, that's it. Same as the politicians, big money people; they live by their own code (whatever that is).

Guys, there is always a cause to every action/reaction. Have we questioned as to why Tiger s behaved like this before just damning him, anyway?

Really feel for Elin - deception of the worst kind, nobody who hasn't been through it before sees it coming. Try not to blame yourself too much for not seeing his true self or for still caring for him if you do. All the best to you and your children.

All this that has happened with Tiger Woods, and so many other sex scandals in recent years,with famous people, politicians and so on, is another pointer that we are in ' the end times', when all these things were to happen. It tells all this in Revelations, about the breakdown of family life.
