#9  A true cinderella story, from nanny to one of the top 200 wealthiest women in America.

Her mother is one of the leading politicians in whichever Scandinavian country she hails from. The nanny thing was no doubt an au pair job, which is what nice European girls from good families do when they want to explore a foreign country beyond a summer vacation. I had four au pair girls during our time in Germany: one had a BA in computer programming, has since got her PhD, now teaches at a university in Washington or Oregon; the second was a secretary who wanted to improve her German and English, and subsequently got a BA in business and works at an international company in Prague; number three had a Masters degree in physical therapy, and could outdo entire units of American soldiers at their chosen athletic endeavor, while maintaining all the charming attractiveness an intelligent, blue-eyed, blond Czech girl is capable of; the last was an RN, as lovely and sweet as her predecessors, who was wooed by several hospitals -- and several eligible men -- when her year of service ended.

I rather imagine Mrs. Woods would have been much happier with a faithful husband than all of the future earnings of an unfaithful one... and probably doesn't really need the overfull checkbook she's extracted from him as punishment with as dull and rusty a scalpel as she could find in the interval.

#7  She probably got 25 million from the pre-nup. The other 725 million is to buy her silence (for the rest of her life) so she won't mess up Tiger's recovery.

#5  Whatever happened to the prenup? Void in the case of adultery or something?

#4  $750 million, ya say? That is more than I will make in a lifetime, I think.

The previous owner of the company I work for told us,
"If it flies, floats, or f***s, it is cheaper to rent."

I do not agree with that philosophy, but in Tiger's case, it would have been the best alternative for him. Ima sure that it has not been good for the children.

#3  I blame his late father's admonition.

"Concentrate on golf son, bugger everything else."
