What do you mean? At this point, 3 is the minimum. It looks like Tiger has enough money to prevent more singing, as the Uchitel press conference was mysteriously canceled today. He’s most likely going through his little black book and sending out early Christmas presents in the form of stacks wound up in rubber bands. Must be nice to have that kind of money. It prevented him from having to use the “sexual addiction” card.

Here’s the current story on the ABC News website: [Tabloids Allege Tiger Woods Had Affairs With at Least Three Women - ABC News](http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/tabloids-allege-woods-affairs-women/story?id=9232973)

> [@ABC News](#):
>
> Woods’ statement was released on the same day two tabloids – US Weekly and Life & Style – published the names of two separate women, Kalika Moquin and Jaimee Grubbs, with whom they reported he had carried on affairs. Those magazines both followed stories by the National Enquirer over the weekend that named another woman, Rachel Uchitel.

Photos of women are included with article. I assume the veracity of the claims is untested at this point…

Interesting that the accident report states that owner of the vehicle is General Motors.

I’m guessing it’s part of a sponsorship deal. I had always assumed in cases like that the ownership would pass to the sportsperson in question, but apparently not.

Looks like they are re-working their prenup agreement. I take it this means she is actually planning to stay with him, but wants more if he goofs up again.

You could be right, but he also could be leasing the SUV, through GMAC.

Please forgive my bluntness but doesn’t this sound like Elin is just a high priced hooker?

Doesn’t that make it a postnup, or a postprenup?

I think the term is “trophy wife”. Not a lot of difference, really.

Not quite. Hes paying her to shut her trap and act like everything is ok. Hes still just trying to keep his personal life private no matter how many millions it costs him.

If she goes for a divorce he will pay a ton. TV show said he gave her 5 million to forget about it.

I think it would just be a nup.

I believe you can be arrested for that in Mississippi. :dubious:

At this point, I really think they should just get divorced. Pay her what it takes under the old pre-nup, and go on to lead whatever style of life he wants to.

Loved the concise description in the paper this a.m.:

_“A Thanksgiving argument broke out when Woods yelled at his wife for ruining the holiday by arguing with him over his relationships with other women.”_

Somehow “a Thanksgiving argument” just seems like such an American tradition! 😛

Hadn’t really thought about it, but the paper said Tiger’s and Elin’s moms were there as well. Must have been one hell of a scene!

It’s a regular SNL sketch topic. Be sure to watch tomorrow night.

Look, I know that my marriage is far from perfect, but can you even call an arrangement like this marriage? Sit down with your lawyers and talk about my account, his account, I get x number of dollars, but I’ll be a good little Victorian wife, etc.

It sounds like, as another poster said, a VERY high priced prostitution contract. And as another said, it’s time to just get divorced. Pay the piper and have fun messing around with women around the world. When/if Tiger ever decides to settle down, then he can get into a real marriage.

What is a real marriage? Over half end in divorce. Is that the kind you mean?

I don’t see anythign there about her having to have sex with him. I’m betting he’ll be living in the guest room for quite some time.

IMO, The vows of a “real” marriage don’t contain the words “if you stay married to me for **X** amount of years, you will receive **Y** amount of dollars”

So anyone who has a prenup is in a fake marriage?

Anyway, going back to whether he changed his name, he is still registered to vote as Eldrick Woods:
