Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren finalize their divorce in August 2010

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren finalized their divorce on 23 August 2010, ending a marriage of about six years. The couple had wed in October 2004 in Barbados.

The split followed a scandal that began in late 2009. After Woods crashed his car outside his Florida home in November of that year, reports emerged of multiple extramarital affairs. Woods publicly apologized and stepped away from golf for a period to seek treatment, and his image and several sponsorship deals suffered heavily.

The divorce settled custody arrangements for their two children, daughter Sam and son Charlie. The terms of the financial settlement were reported in the media, but the couple never confirmed them publicly.

In the years since, Woods and Nordegren have been seen as an example of amicable co-parenting. They have appeared together at their children's sporting events, which is why joint public appearances, like the one at Charlie's college signing, draw attention.
