Tiger Woods Divorce Finalized

The somehow still No 1 ranked golf player in the world, Tiger Woods, finalizes his very expected divorce. After almost 6 years of marriage to Elin Nordegren, they were divorced on August 23, 2010 after Tiger's sex scandal and infidelity was revealed last Thanksgiving 2009. After the revelations of Tiger's sex scandal his personal life and professional life went into a downward tailspin. Playing some of the worst golf ever in his career and no major wins, it is now questionable whether or not Tiger will ever beat Jack Nicklaus' record wins.

Tiger and Elin have asked for their privacy, wished the other well, and want to focus on what's best for their two children Sam Alexis 3 and Charlie Exel  1. No details of the divorce settlement are being disclosed, but it is being speculated that Elin will receive $100 - $150 million and they will share custody of their children.

With all this in what should be the past, will Tiger ever be able to return to greatness or beat Nicklaus' record? With Woods scheduled to play at The Barclays this week, it will be his first tournament as a single man. Will he be able to play well enough to get past the first round at the FedEx Cup playoffs, a tournament he has been victorious in the last two times he played, or will he miss the cut? The Barclays is also important in showing his value to be picked for the Ryder Cup. Let's hope this ends a bad chapter in his career and he can move on to play well. I don't know if Tiger will ever be the player he used to be, but am still slightly excited at the prospect of a comeback.
