The entire Elin-Tiger situation has been open to much speculation most of which assumed Elin would run, not walk away from Tiger and her marriage. We’re hearing reports from a a friend of the Woods’ camp that Miss Elin, herself a child of divorce, “Wants a solid family life.”

“She was a child of divorce and felt her dad slighted her. She absolutely does not want that to happen to Sam and Charlie <the Woods’ children>. So she wants to keep her family together even if she and Tiger live together as friends instead of lovers.”

Elin reportedly visited her husband at the Gentle Path sexual addiction clinic in Hattiesburg, Miss., where he has been getting treatment. During the visit, she stayed at the house of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, a friend of the family’s.
