Early life

Nordegren was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Her mother, Barbro Holmberg, is a politician and former Swedish migration and asylum policy minister. Her father, Thomas Nordegren, is a radio journalist who served as a bureau chief in Washington, D.C..2 She has an older brother, Axel, and a twin sister, Josefin.3 Nordegren and her sister worked odd summer jobs and as cashiers in supermarkets to finance their studies.4 She started modeling in 2000, and appeared on the cover of Cafe Sport magazine in the summer of 2000.

Marriage to Tiger Woods

Nordegren took a job in a Stockholm clothing store called Champagne, where she met Mia Parnevik, wife of Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who hired Nordegren as the nanny to their children, a job that required her to move to the U.S.5 He introduced her to Woods during the 2001 British Open. Previously, Woods had asked for a year to be introduced to Nordegren, who was seeing someone else at the time. "There was a big line of single golfers wanting to meet her. They were gaga over her."6 She had hopes of becoming a child psychiatrist at the time and was concerned about appearing to be a "gold-digger".7 In November 2003, Woods and Nordegren attended the Presidents Cup tournament in South Africa and became officially engaged when Woods proposed at the luxury Shamwari Game Reserve.

They were married October 2004, by the 19th hole of the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. The 150 guests included Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Bill Gates. Woods rented the entire complex for a week, including three golf courses and 110 rooms, costing almost $2 million.8

Shortly after Nordegren's relationship with Woods became public, nude photographs purporting to be of Nordegren began circulating on the internet, which were established to be fakes.910 Despite the debunking, in 2006, Irish magazine The Dubliner published the nude photographs and stated they were of Nordegren.1112 On November 16, 2006, Nordegren filed a libel suit against The Dubliner.13 Nordegren won the lawsuit, and as part of the settlement accepted by a Dublin court, The Dubliner was required to publish a lengthy apology in a variety of venues. Were the magazine to have failed to meet the conditions, the award would have been increased to $366,500 plus all of Nordegren's legal expenses.141516

On June 18, 2007, Woods announced the birth of the couple's daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, a day after finishing second in the U.S.Open.17 On September 2, 2008, Woods announced they were expecting another child in late winter.18 Five months later it was announced that Elin had given birth to a boy, Charlie Axel, on February 8, 2009.19

In December 2009, her marriage to Woods was the subject of extensive media coverage after Woods admitted to infidelity, which had been revealed following his single-vehicle accident near the family's Florida home.20 Woods subsequently announced he would take an "indefinite break" from golf to work on his marriage.20 She is presently enrolled as a student at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where she is working towards a degree in psychology.2122
