12/12/09-Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren maybe moving from her luxury family home in Florida to the cooler climate of Sweden according to recent reports. Tigers wife has bought a house that has cost more than $2 million in Stockholm. The New York Daily News describes the home’s location as “a small, secluded island reachable from Stockholm only by ferryboat.
The news of the new home in Sweden comes as Tiger Woods’s announced that he is take an indefinite break from playing golf to tackle problems in his private life.
BBC commentator Peter Alliss “He is undoubtedly the biggest figure in golf and has been for the last 10 or 12 years and he would be sorely missed but the game’s been there for hundreds of years and it’s gone on.
Speculation is rife about the house purchase in Stockholm with rumours that the couple might move to Sweden to escape the media spotlight; it’s possible that the Woods family could be living in the new residence soon.
A Swedish housing official has confirmed that Tiger Woods’ wife bought a house on an island off Stockholm. Stenake Johansson, the chairman of the Faglaro Residential Association, said that Elin Nordegren became the owner of a six-bedroom house on Dec. 1 on Faglaro. The island is only reachable by boat.
He says negotiations likely started shortly after the house was put on the market in August — well before the recent reports about Woods’ alleged extramarital affairs.
