Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren ‘received’ a staggering amount in her divorce settlement following their high-profile split.

Woods and Nordegren were married for six years before they divorced in 2010, just months after the golfer became embroiled in a cheating scandal which saw their relationship unravel in the public eye.

In November 2009, the Swedish model discovered Woods was cheating on her during Thanksgiving week.

He later admitted himself into a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 addiction rehab clinic and went through a messy divorce.

Nordegren walked away from her marriage to Woods with a staggering settlement.

While some reports initially reported that her divorce settlement payout from Woods was $750 million, she actually ‘received’ a whopping $100 million, according to TMZ.

“Money doesn’t make you happy, but I have to be honest: It is making some things easier,” Nordegren told PEOPLE. “I have the opportunity to be with my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren as much I want, and I am able to travel to see my family and also have them come here as often as I like.”

She added: “I was always going to have a career – with or without Tiger. Now that I will not be traveling and following Tiger around to golf tournaments, I will be able to finish my studies faster. Then I want to find a way to contribute and make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

Woods has since announced that he is dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of US president Donald Trump, prompting a hilarious response from Snoop Dogg.

On Instagram, the 49-year-old shared a picture of himself alongside Vanessa, who was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years.

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” he wrote on social media.

“At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

It is unclear what prompted him to make their relationship public, but rumours of their romance had been reported in recent weeks.
