Elin Nordegren Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education

Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren was born on 1 January 1980, in Stockholm, Sweden, the daughter of Barbo Homberg and Thomas Nordegren. Her mother was a politician and former Swedish migration and asylum policy minister, and the Governor of Gavleborg County, while her father has been a radio journalist, serving as a bureau chief in Washington, D.C. Elin has a twin sister, Josefin, and an older brother, Axel.

During their teenage years, Elin and her sister had several summer jobs, such as working as cashiers in supermarkets, to support their studies. However, at 20 years old, Elin launched her modeling career, appearing on the cover of Cafe Sport magazine. However, her modeling career wasn’t much of a success.

Life and Career

Her life took a significant turn when she accepted a job at a clothing store in Stockholm, where she crossed paths with Mia Parnevik, the wife of Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. Recognizing Nordegren’s potential, Mia hired her as an au pair for their children, which prompted Nordegren to make a life-changing decision: she relocated to the United States.

While working as an au pair, Nordegren’s path intertwined with that of Tiger Woods. At the 2001 Open Championship, she was introduced to Tiger, but at the time Elin was already involved with someone else and had no interest in pursuing a relationship with Woods. Nevertheless, Woods was captivated by her charm and beauty. Mia Parnevik recounted that many single golfers were drawn to Nordegren’s allure, but it was Woods who eventually won her heart.

Everything changed in November 2003, as Woods and Nordegren embarked on a new chapter in their relationship. During the Presidents Cup tournament held in South Africa, Woods proposed to Nordegren at the luxurious Shamwari Game Reserve, and she joyfully accepted. Their engagement set the stage for a grand wedding ceremony, which took place in October 2004 at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. The extravagant event saw Woods renting the entire complex for a week, including three golf courses and 110 rooms, amounting to a staggering cost of almost $2 million.

However, Nordegren’s life soon faced a media storm, when nude photographs, falsely attributed to her but later revealed to be faked, began circulating on the internet. In response, she filed a libel suit against The Dubliner magazine in November 2006, and emerged victorious in the legal battle, with The Dubliner being required to issue a public apology and pay €125,000 in damages.

In 2007, Nordegren and Woods announced the birth of their first child, a daughter they named Sam Alexis. Nordegren became pregnant again in the following year, and in 2009 gave birth to their son, Charlie Axel. Tragically, their seemingly idyllic marriage unraveled in December 2009, when Woods admitted to infidelity following a single-vehicle accident near their Florida home. The revelation of Woods’ transgressions thrust their personal lives into the public eye, and put an end to their union. After attempts to reconcile proved unsuccessful, Nordegren and Woods finalized their divorce in August 2010.

As part of the divorce settlement, Nordegren received a substantial $100 million settlement, and with her newfound financial independence, she made a significant purchase—a $12 million mansion in Florida, built in the 1920s. However, after consulting with an architect who advised that renovating the home to meet current hurricane safety codes would be impractical, Nordegren decided to have the entire structure demolished. Before its demolition in December 2011, she generously allowed Habitat for Humanity to salvage anything of value from the property.

Following her divorce from Woods, Nordegren started a romance with coal mogul and philanthropist Chris Cline. Their time together marked a new chapter in her personal life, however, they broke up in 2014.

In 2017, she started dating Jordan Cameron, and two years later shared the news that she was expecting her third child and first with Jordan. In October of the same year, she welcomed her third child, a son.

Continuing to navigate life on her terms, Nordegren sold her Palm Beach home for an impressive $28.6 million in September 2020.
