We Finally Know What Went Wrong Between Tiger Woods And Elin Nordegren

Publish date: 2024-05-10

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren's children were super young when the golf star's cheating scandal rocked the world: daughter Sam (pictured, center), was on the cusp of her second birthday, while their son, Charlie, was just nine months old. So, clearly, their youngins had no idea what daddy had been up to behind mommy's back.

And that brings us to the internet — it's a gift and a curse. In the case of Woods, the world wide web houses all the secrets from his less-than-stellar past, and he knew his children would eventually find out what caused their parents to breakup, whether they read about it online or if one of their friends told them about it at school. For that reason alone, Woods told Time that he took the "initiative" to come clean to his two children: "Guys, the reason why we're not in the same house, why we don't live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes."

Woods added that he wanted the truth to come from him and only him. And, in the future, if they probe for more answers, he said, "I'll just tell them the real story. But meanwhile, it's just, 'Hey, Daddy made some mistakes. But it's O.K. We're all human. We all make mistakes.'"
