Tiger Woods' marriage is on the brink of breakup as Elin Nordegren, Tiger's wife, will divorce the billionaire golf star following the series of sex scandal, according to local media reports on Wednesday. ABC News, NBC News and People magazine, all citing unnamed sources close to Nordegren, reported that she will split with Woods following his admission of infidelity and reports that at least 14 women had affairs with the golf icon.
"Divorce is 100 percent on," ABC News' website reported a source saying. "She's not rushing to divorce, however. She's going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything."

Nordegren, who has two Tiger's children, two-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie, has met with lawyers to renegotiate her prenuptial agreement with Woods, People magazine reported.
"She plans to leave Tiger," one source was quoted as saying.
NBC News reported that Nordegren's recent trips to a gas station and Thai restaurant without her wedding ring were meant to signal her plans.
"She and Tiger are living separately now but she'll be making this split very open and official right after Christmas," NBC reported one source as saying.
"Elin is not going to be one of these 'stand by her man' women," another source told NBC.
"This is beyond embarrassing, and she has a daughter and son she has to think about, who will know about this one day."
Nordegren has bought a beachfront estate on an island near Stockholm and several websites reported Nordegren talked with movers at the mansion she shared with Woods near Orlando.
"She's making plans to move out and take the kids with her," the New York Post quoted an unnamed source as saying. "She's planning to go somewhere warm and Tiger-free for Christmas."
Entertainment gossip website TMZ reported Wednesday that Nordegren, 29, is also near a marketing deal with Puma, a rival of Nike, which is the foremost sponsor to announce it will support Woods, even as Accenture has cut ties with him and several others are reassessing their deals.
