The two had to eventually split up and get divorced despite having a 6-7 year-long marriage. Woods and Nordegren had two children together – Sam and Charlie. And after getting to know about Woods’ alleged controversies, Nordegren didn’t want the kids to be around the golfer much.

As per sources, Nordegren tried everything in her hands to receive 100% custody of the kids after their divorce. A source close to the golf star’s ex-wife told People Magazine how Nordegren had a huge concern about leaving her kids around Woods. “Elin does not want Tiger to have female friends around when he has the children,” the source said. “This is very important to her, and she will not give in to anything less.”
