It’s not just his reputation Tiger Woods has to protect — his fortune reportedly could take a record hit if his former Swedish model wife decides to split.
US Weekly magazine reports Tiger and wife Elin have a prenup worth $300 million — an amount that would top the current celebrity divorce record held by Michael Jordan, whose wife Juanita got an estimated $150 million settlement.
But the Chicago Sun-Times has another version. It says Tiger’s wife is getting a total rewrite of her prenup — making it a lot more attractive for her to weather the scandal.
The Sun-Times said the couple, under the current pact, have to stay married for 10 years in order for Elin to collect $20 million; a new pact shortens the time frame and jacks up the dollar amount.
One expert said Tiger has to worry about another consequence of his bad behavior.
“Chances are if he’s hurt financially, it will not be by her, but by lost endorsements,” said matrimonial lawyer Raoul Felder.
Woods met Nordegren, 29, during the British Open in 2001. She was working as a nanny for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik at the time.
The couple started dating the following year, and were married in October 2004 on a Barbados golf course. Woods reportedly paid $1.5 million to rent out the entire resort for the big day.
In 2006, the couple bought a $39 million mansion in Jupiter Island, Fla. They also own the $2.4 million house in Windermere, where the crash took place, and other residences in Wyoming, California and Sweden.
They have two children, a daughter, Sam Alexis, 2, and their son, Charlie Axel, who was born in February of this year.
Child support for the two children would not be determined by the prenuptial agreement, but in a court settlement, Felder said.
