Woods' Wife Seen without Wedding Ring

By
CBSNews
(CBS)  Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren was spotted Saturday in Florida filling her SUV while her kids waited in the back seat. But something was missing - Nordegren's wedding ring.

The 29-year-old Swede and former model reportedly moved out of Woods' house a week ago amid an infidelity scandal that has led the world's richest athlete to give up professional golf indefinitely while he tries to repair his family.

"I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person," Woods said in a statement on his Web site Friday.

Woods and Nordegren have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son.

Splash News photographers said Nordegren was pictured in Orlando, Fla. and went from the gas station to what appeared to be a party. She is reportedly staying with a neighbor in the Orlando golf community of Windemere, where she and Woods lived.

Woods has been losing sponsors lately (read more), but with an estimated fortune $1 billion, Woods isn't exactly in financial peril.

i have a great idea.. instead of worrying what the woods are doing or not doing and pay attention to this country slowly but surely going to hell in a hand basket.. out of respect for the wife and kids leave it alone. c

Can't say as I blame her for not wearing the ring.

She's beautiful, young, and now a multi-millionaire. She can trade up! Tiger? Not so much.

I think Elin should leave Tiger Woods and should never look back at the marriage except for the children. The has been mention of a prenump but one would think that went out the window when Tiger started his affairs outside the marriage and as for him stating that he is taking time off from golf to work on his marriage. He should have remained the man with all the responsibilities of the marriage with children. Since he has not followed the realm of the marriage vows he took then he was the one that should be denied from the prenump. Who is he to make rules for a marriage on paper then deviate from his own vows. I think very little of him as a man and as a golfer. By the way, he cannot fill the shoes of Roger Federer. Maybe Tiger won best decade athlete but I think that is a crock.

Ain't it great the way Sharpton/Jackson have legitimized the new expectations for cultural or ethnic diversity?

Elin not only can compete with the scuzy girls Tiger cheated on her with, she surpasses all of them as far as "looks" and class.

You can bet that if my "husband" was having intimate affairs with at least 9 women, not using protection and doing the wild thing with porn star garbage, you can bet I wouldn't be wearing mine. I'd be embarrassed by the fact that I was ever married to the piece of trash. He should have thought about focusing his attention on being a better husband, father, and person before he was having threesomes with that skanky he/she looking tramp he was sleeping with.
