Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were highly regarded as one of the sports’ most powerful couples. However, their marriage came crashing down after Tiger’s extramarital affairs became public. Nonetheless, despite being under massive public scrutiny, the golfer got back with his ex-wife on better terms and even claimed to be best friends after divorcing each other.

After being in a relationship for three years, Woods tied the knot with Nordegren in 2004. However, five years later, a report revealed Tiger cheated on the Swedish model with nearly 120 women. Though the couple was under massive scrutiny, they had a peaceful agreement in the end.

Tiger Woods wished for an honest relationship with his ex-wife

Following Woods’ cheating revelations, the golfer’s public reputation was affected immensely. Nonetheless, as years passed, the fans as well as Elin Nordegren forgave the 15-time Major winner. While speaking to The Time in 2015, Tiger Woods revealed how he regrets his mistakes.

“In hindsight, it’s not how I would change 2009 and how it all came about,” he said. “It would be having a more open, honest relationship with my ex-wife.” Woods further addressed how he frequently had phone calls with Nordegren.
