Tiger Woods’ wife could get $50m extra for sticking with him

LONDON - Scandal-hit golfer Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren will miss out on more than 50 million dollars if she divorces him now, American divorce lawyers have said.

Nordegren, 29, was widely reported last week to be ‘100 per cent’ set on a divorce and in line to receive in excess of 100 million dollars.

However, Raoul Felder, a celebrity divorce attorney, said that if she pursues a legal split now, she would only be entitled under Florida law to the sum agreed in the prenuptial agreement before the couple married in 2004 - believed to be 20 million dollars.

Woods would also have to pay child support for their two-year-old daughter and baby son.

Lawyers familiar with the talks said she could be paid up to an additional 55 million dollars to remain with Woods, 33, for just two more years.

“If this is a financial calculation, then I don’t think you will see her seeking a divorce. If she left now, she would only get the prenup deal. You normally don’t get extra reparations for adultery or humiliation,” the Telegraph quoted Felder as saying. (ANI)
