Tiger Woods ‘set to divorce’ as furious wife flies off

Tiger Woods appears to be heading for divorce after losing the battle to save his marriage, according to reports in the United States.

The golfer's wife Elin Nordegren is said to have refused to join Woods in Georgia last weekend to see him make his sporting comeback at the US Masters, despite the fact that he had rented a house for her and their two children.

She was photographed taking a private jet alone out of Florida after he returned home.

US television show Entertainment Tonight claimed that the five-year marriage was "definitely over" and that the couple were now working out the details with their lawyers.

A divorce could see the Swedish former model awarded around £200 million by Woods, 33, who is believed to be worth more than £500 million.

His wife was also reported by People magazine to be angry over a Nike advertisement screened on US sports channels which showed a solemn Woods listening to the voice of his late father Earl. Friends said she thought the bizarre advertisement was "cheesy".

Woods has been undergoing treatment at a sex addiction clinic after he was linked to up to 12 women.
