To celebrate his big career comeback, Tiger Woods takes his kids on a trip as estranged wife Elin Nordegren heads to help her ailing mom in Arizona. C’mon, Tiger – shouldn’t you be there for your wife during this difficult time after all you’ve put her through?
Although he’s made a huge career comeback, Tiger Wood’s personal life is still a mess — so you probably shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for him and wife Elin Nordegren to play happy family again any time soon. Just one day after making his return to golf at the Masters tournament, Tiger took his kids on a separate vacation from his wife — who went to support her ailing mother. What a nice guy, right?
“Elin’s mother is having private treatments in the U.S., ” a source told Peopleof Elin, who flew to mom Barbro Holmberg’s side in Scottsdale, Ariz. April 11. “Even though it is paid for in Sweden, her mother had private treatments here before and really liked where she was.”
Like people who really love each other do (ahem, Tiger), Barbro jetted to be by her daughter’s side when news of Tiger’s many infidelities broke over Thanksgiving weekend. In the midst of all the drama, the 57-year-old Swedish politician was rushed to hospital and treated for stomach pains Dec. 8.
Now, Elin, 30, is taking care of her mother the same way her mother tried to care for her. Tiger, 34, is not there to give her support – surprise, surprise. And instead of being there to help his wife of five years and try to win her back, the golf pro took their daughter Sam, 2, and son Charlie, 10, on a family vacation April 12. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers. At least he’s spending time with SOME members of his family!
Regardless, if I was trying to make a relationship work (as Tiger claims he’s doing), I’d go to whatever ends I needed to regain my spouse’s trust — even if that person claimed he didn’t want me there. You listening, Tiger?

Why should Tiger have to go to his estranged mother-in-law to participate in this supporting act? He shown his support by taking time off on the middle of the tournament and took his children to little getaway.What’s wrong with that?
Otherwise,he could continue to play (earn money for Elin,as always)and Elin could take her kids to Arizona to see the grandma.

Elin left alone to be with her sick mother who is hospitalized. I hope Elin’s mother is not seriously ill. Elin has already gone through a lot of pain and suffering because of Tiger’s betrayal. Meanwhile, it is about time that Tiger dedicates some time to his children. Elin is the one that has been there for those kids all along, while Tiger was spending his time with every w*h*o*r*e* in and out of town.

Mike at7:28- Phil Mickelson who won the Masters is no prince either. He made a dig at Tiger for his wife not showing up. FYI, Google Phil and there are rumors of affairs and even an illegitimate child. PLEASE! It will all come out. A lot of these pro athletes are shaking in their boots right now.

“Come on Tiger” you say? How do you know Elin did not say she wanted to visit w/ her mother alone? I see quite the contrary. I feel Tiger has shown a lot of remorse. I think Elin either needs to move ahead w/ her marriage or divorce. Punishing him relentlessly is a no win…for either of them. I think the public is turning on Elin as she comes off ice cold. I can certainly understand, but stick by him or don’t. It’s her choice. I can tell you there’s not a chance for her to take her kids out of the country if she thinks she’s going to leave him.

thats right because Tiger will fight till all the money is finished in the bank and elin won’t match that. I wonder why elin didn’t let tiger come to visit her mom with the kids.. ghee and u should make up or move forward. Tiger should fight back for his wife. i would . a hot wife like that..

Hey people….. wake up. Tiger is not the only person that has been unfaithful. If you have ever been on the side of the one that was cheated on (as I was), its not up to you and me(dia) to continue to let this story go on. This might not be the right time for Tiger and the little ones to go to Grandma’s house. She is sick. Elin may need this time alone to care for her mother. Give this couple a break. Let THEM DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THEIR LIFE. Maybe we need to get out own lives.

Man let the family be enough is enough …… maybe they have seperated and just trying to take sometime to think about the future, of course he needs to spend time with his children and I dont think his mother-in-law would really enjoy seeing him.
