reportedly been in talks with the golfer, and had a half-hour chat with him before canceling the presser. According to TMZ, Uchitel and Woods had also been speaking just before Friday's mysterious car accident. While TMZ says no monetary exchange has been made, the site does assert that Woods, as well as his representation, knew of her plan to deny the alleged sexual relationship. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast's Gerald Posner has learned exclusively that the beleaguered golfer is negotiating an immediate $5 million payout to his wife--and revising her prenup to give her as much as $55 million more to stay with him two more years. Traditionally it's a divorce that makes a financial dent for a wealthy athlete like Tiger Woods. But it appears that in Tiger's case, it's going to cost him to stay with his wife, Elin Nordegren, the mother of their two children. In a statement Wednesday, Tiger said, "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart." Words are evidently not enough to mollify Elin: The Daily Beast has learned the details of what it's costing Tiger to keep his marriage intact. A lawyer familiar with the hastily conducted negotiations of the past 72 hours said that as of Wednesday evening Elin has been offered a $5 million payment immediately if she agrees to stay--and her prenuptial agreement is being revised to give her up to an additional $55 million. There's a price to having a life turned upside down in the public eye.
into an account she alone controls--to stick with her husband," Zwecker wrote. "At this point, the couple needed to remain married for 10 years in order for Woods' wife to collect a splitsville settlement of $20 million. And the revised agreement provides for a staggered schedule of payments spread out over five years that could be worth upward of $75 million. So for Elin to collect $80 million, she'll need to stay with Tiger another seven years, be a dutiful wife in showing up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story. Even if she lasts only two more years, she'll still walk away with nearly twice what she was entitled to under the original prenup. Tiger's advisers, who have successfully gotten the couple into counseling sessions, believe that keeping the marriage intact will help Tiger keep his corporate sponsors and bolster his dented image. She's never been a publicity hound or used her marriage to make money through self-help books, lecture series, or QVC makeup and jewelry lines. Rather, she's just maintained a low profile and dedicated herself to being a spouse and mother. As opposed to some other celebrities, like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie, Elin has never pushed her kids into the public eye. So, now, if she is persuaded to stay, she knows little will be the same. A Los Angeles-based paparazzo told me that a photo of Elin and the children would fetch $250,000. Some agencies are offering $100,000 just for tips that pay off with photos. There's a price to having a life turned upside down in the public eye. is in crisis, it's likely she will accept a deal rather than allow her anger and sense of humiliation to prevail. The Woods camp is about to pull off the most expensive "stand by your man" stand ever. Gerald Posner is The Daily Beast's Chief Investigative Reporter. He's the award-winning author of 10 investigative nonfiction bestsellers, ranging from political assassinations, to Nazi war criminals, to 9/11, to terrorism.
Right Nuld001 Woods has revealed himself to be another arrogant athlete with a sense of entitlement guided by his brains in his pants. If his father were still alive, he'd probably kick Tiger's ass to kingdom come for being so selfish and stupid. If Elin consults and retains a good shyster attorney, all bets are off.

On another sad note, Tiger's infamy on the links, and all the trappings of success, have totally obscured his sense of humanity. He's brand Tiger, a slave to the corporate $$ he thinks he controls and his 'team' whose on his payroll.

This is not a matter of money, as many of you seemto think. If she leaves him, she will have a chance to meet a man who will love her, not see her as part of his image.

It's ALL about the money else why are they giving her a fat payout to stay? Even if their father is a whore they are better off being with both their parents. I don't think she is the one that has to worry about self respect as she did not do anything but be a dutiful wife and mother.

But how can you love a man you thought you knew, who loved you, but now you find out he screwed around with other women practivally from the beginning of your marriage, while you were at home having two babies? Let him have them but don't pretend to love his wife, when she is just a convenience. Any woman who stays in those circumstances is just looking for more trouble.

Is he that insulated, living in such a closed bubble, that he loses perspective ? It really is mind boggling how stupid he acted, considering how smart he is. Perhaps LUST squelches any form of smarts or common sense. Flag It | Permalink 12:56 pm, Dec 3, 2009 djanimaequeen Newswoman, try for a moment to put your emotions aside on this one because it's obvious that is where you are operating from. Tiger is a pro athlete, how any woman would expect a pro athlete to be monogamous is beyond me. You may think it's stupid for her to stay but that's why you're poor and she's rich, laughing her "stupid" ass all the way to the bank. They need to take Tiger's ass off the box of Wheties and put Elin on instead.

If she wants to leave then, she'll leave and hopefully find a good man that will love her. But what crystal ball says she'll find love now or later?

If he were that guy that fixes your car, and got divorced for infidelity, nobody would care this much. Here are some facts: The facts about marital infidelity (sexual unfaithfulness to a spouse) are astounding. Polls show that although 90% of married people disapprove of extramarital relationships, statistics from a national survey indicate that 15% of wives and 25% of husbands have experienced extramarital intercourse. These numbers increase by 20% when emotional affairs and sexual relationships without intercourse are included. Another source, The Monogamy Myth, authored by Peggy Vaughan, approximates that 60% of husbands and 40% of wives will have an affair at some time in their marriage. Alot of people will never say the truth in a survey,or...
