00:00Reconciling with his ex has no doubt been an uphill battle for Tiger Woods,
00:04but recent footage shows that things between them are completely different than they used to be.
00:09Despite the disastrous ending to their marriage,
00:11it looks like Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are fully back on good terms now.
00:15And we have proof. In December 2024, Woods competed at the PNC Championship,
00:20where he was joined by his son and daughter, Charlie and Sam. Nordegren was also present,
00:25and cameras captured her giving her ex-husband a warm hug on the 18th hole.
00:30Fans took to the comments to cheer them on,
00:32saying it was awesome to see them co-parenting so well together. One fan pointed out an interview
00:37Tiger gave in the past where he said that Nordegren was still one of his best friends.
00:41Woods' 2009 cheating scandal was one of the biggest headlines of its time,
00:44and it's no shock that his marriage to Nordegren went horribly wrong not long after.
00:49After being caught having an affair with Rachel Uchitel, he and his then-wife made headlines when
00:54they famously fought outside their home, resulting in Tiger crashing his car and ending up unconscious.
00:59Since then, it was revealed that the golf pro had cheated on Nordegren with multiple women,
01:04and the two divorced in 2010.
01:05I wish her the best in everything. It was a sad time in our lives."
01:11Although the pro golfer's career was never the same after his scandal, this video of
01:14them hugging in public is even more confirmation that Tiger managed to
01:18revive his relationship with Nordegren. Sadly, part of the reason for Tiger Woods'
01:22flailing career post-scandal was his extensive injuries. But his improved relationship with
01:28Nordegren was a silver lining. In a 2015 interview with Time, he did indeed call her
01:32one of his best friends, saying,
01:34"'Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic. She's one of my best friends.
01:38We're able to pick up the phone and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the
01:42most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then."
01:46Woods added that he took full responsibility for his actions and even told their kids that
01:50the divorce was his fault.
01:52"'I was to blame and so I'm taking initiative with the kids. I'd rather have it come from
01:56me as the source. And I can tell them absolutely everything so they hear it from me.'"
02:00Woods never remarried after the divorce, but Nordegren moved on with retired NFL pro Jordan
02:05Cameron, with whom she shares three kids. They also co-parent Jordan's son Tristan,
02:09whom he had from a prior relationship. And apparently, that's what she's always desired.
02:14A source claiming to be close to Nordegren told People,
02:16"[Elin always wanted a big family and loved the idea of a house filled with kids.
02:20She has that now, living her sweetest dream."
02:23As for the former model and her ex, the insider shared,
02:26"'Everything that happened in the past is in the past. They both decided to be adults
02:29and to do what was best for the kids. So they get along really well.'"
