Tiger Woods had dated Elin Nordegren for three years before getting married in 2004. After living happily for almost six years, the two had to part ways and go through a very public divorce in the end.
A scandal involving the golfer that broke out in 2009 led to the couple’s split in 2010. Even though the two ended their relationship on a sour note, the two wanted to give their marriage another shot. And they had a reason for it.
“You think of every way you can save a marriage when it is in a crisis,” Nordegren said. “And I think you try even harder when you have children.” She explained the reason why she and the golf legend tried hard to get back together in an interview she gave to PEOPLE.
