Divorced Woods should concentrate on the game of golf

Less than six years after their marriage and nine months after a car accident early in the morning caused an unprecedented wave of scandalous infidelity, Tiger Woods and Elin officially divorced.

Both share the parenting of their two son, a daughter and a son 3 years 19 months.

Unequivocal terms were released. Elin is likely to receive a sum of nine digits, but probably less than $ 750 million surprise that some reports provided. In return, he almost certainly approved a non-disclosure agreement prohibiting reviews, interviews, books and other details of the life of Tiger.

For Tiger, 34 years, maintaining a certain strength to the recognition of your brand for future business opportunities would be appropriately priced. Send to a Elin Woods "all the books and subsequent media tour would be devastating for the rest of the good will of the tiger.

I do not think Elin, 30, left in silence. You do not just ask her maiden name - Mary Elin Nordegren Pernille - to restore.

It uses six different lawyers in three different cities on two continents: Richard Cullen McGuireWoods lawyers and Dennis I. Belcher in Richmond, Virginia, Scott S. Cairns in Jacksonville, Florida, and Walter H. Josefin Lonnborg White Jr. in London, who was assisted by Rebecca Palmer of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, PA

Tiger, meanwhile, has hired two independent law firms - one in Florida, one in Connecticut.

It's a lot of legal fees necessary mouths to feed.

Now, perhaps, with the trauma of the attempted reconciliation, the details of the divorce is over, Tiger can return to form in the championship golf course and turn his game around in a spiral. Has not won a single tournament on the PGA Tour in 2010, the worst drought of his career. He was 0-4 in the majors and has not won one in eight attempts since the subject of a knee operation during the summer of 2008.

Although the sensational details of her infidelity was the meat to the public at the end Woods is a golfer. First, you can turn the focus on his game, the better - at least if you start winning again.

The couple filed for divorce in the Circuit Court for Bay County, Panama City, Florida, far from home in the Orlando area that became famous after Tiger took a Cadillac into a wall of water just to Elin break two windows back with a club supposedly in an attempt to free him.

Since then, a parade of waste are issues involving Tiger, with rooms scattered girlfriends, bars and pancake houses around the country. He went twice to treat patients in an attempt to save the Union. He held a news conference uncomfortable apologetics, star of bad taste, lessons Nike commercial with the voice of his dead father and tried to get rid of the air and breaks endless night jokes comic fodder.

None of this was sufficient to maintain the marriage, which for most outsiders, it seemed impossible to solve.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the best for the future," said Tiger and Elin in a joint statement. "Although they are not married, are parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been and continues to be essential for both.

"Once we reached the decision that our marriage was over, the focus of our discussions, it was easy to ensure their future welfare. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them we adapt to new circumstances and therefore our family privacy should be a major concern. "

Elin did not speak after the incident - which came one day after the National Enquirer published a detailed account of how cheating Tiger.

Tiger has refused to discuss details of the situation, but he acknowledged the distractions are concentrated on his golf game a challenge string. And at risk and looked uncomfortable on the ground.

"It's been a year, Tiger continues to repeat after the end of a career plus-18 above normal in a tournament in Akron, Ohio, earlier this month. The year has been so long, he said, discovered the game was not even surprised.

If the divorce changes, nothing remains to be seen. The pain and guilt may remain, and the challenge of parental cooperation is not immediately easy. The two have signed the divorce agreement in early July that Woods has not broken by the AT & T National, Pennsylvania.

His game has not improved since then.

However, from the standpoint of your golf game, Tiger clearly need to turn the page. His frame, once the strength of his game has deteriorated - perhaps a sign of a lack of concentration and time to play. It has been spotty since the start and was subjected to stretching first game.

Suddenly, Woods can beat the record of Jack Nicklaus was 18 majors (Tiger has 14), once-bet, have greatly facilitated. His ability to intimidate other players also dissipated. Rory McIlroy's young stars asked ironically U. S. Ryder Cup team invite Tiger.

"I want him," said McIlroy. "If we play] [Woods is improving rapidly in the month or two, I think no European team fancy their chances against him."

Nobody said a year ago. And perhaps no one will. However, the next step for Tiger Woods is complete. His reputation is shot; he kept his game at least now that the energy and excitement that spending to try to save his family, with retrospective effect will not be necessary.

Woods marriage is over. What remains of Tiger is a mystery.
