An optimistic Tiger Wood rented a house near the US Masters course in Augusta, Georgia, for wife Elin and their two children but it has remained empty all week.

"Tiger rented this house right next to the one he's in and had it all set up with staff, toys, food, everything - he really wanted to see his kids during
his down-time," revealed a source close to Elin.
But Elin refused, according to the confidant.
"She's not willing to drag the kids back and forth so he can get a quick paternal hit out of seeing them," the source added.
With Tiger in contention going into Sunday's final round, it is clear that Elin is steadfast in her decision not to attend the tournament, even if her philandering husband was to achieve a stunning victory.
As RadarOnline.com has reported, the couple's marriage has been getting worse, after a brief period where they appeared to be growing closer.
Elin has not moved back in with Tiger and has a one-year lease on a house about a mile away from the family home.

ad for Nike.

Elin, 30, told friends the controversial ad brought home how much she has missed the support of her "second dad" Earl Woods since Tiger was exposed as
a serial love cheat.

A pal said: Elin was sent a tape and watched it at home she started to cry, she said the tears just started streaming.
She was surprised at her outburst of emotion, she is normally very restrained. But she really loved Earl and she misses him, "mourned" was the word she used.
"She grew up without having access to her own father all the time and Earl was very paternal and loving towards her, so just hearing his voice touched
her."

It tickles me when i read that Elin has rented a house a mile away. She is simply living at the other house that they own in Isleworth.

I never saw so many "Holier then Thou' people - it must be tough being so perfect. Just all your negativity proves your not so perfect - just a bitter person.

ROL Lindsay Davenport is not a new friend. She's been friend with Elin for more than 4 years. So stop your stupid false reports. We all know you are fabricating these stories but make it more gullible please.

Great to be watching the Masters live and seeing Tiger self destruct while Phil a true family man is going well. So much for Tiger's religion of BOOTYISM helping him!!!!

Totally agree with you. I love watching Tiger failing like this. Thi is what I wanted : he needed to be humiliated in front of the world like he humiliated his wife and kids. Tiger should have listened to Elin when she told him not to go LOl

The public won't turn on Elin or Sandra Bullock. Neither one of these women deserved the treatment like this from their spouses. It only takes one person to lie and cheat to break a marriage. And, it's usually the one with the UBER EGO.
