Tiger Woods' marriage officially over

Famous US golfist Tiger Woods and his Swedish-born wife officially divorced Monday, nine months after a car crash outside his home set off shocking revelations that the world's most famous athlete was unfaithful.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their lawyers.

The divorce was granted in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando. The couple married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son, Charlie.
Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will "share parenting" of their two children.

The divorce was finalized by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel in her chambers. The hearing only lasted only about five or 10 minutes. Woods and Nordegren were present, along with their lawyers, who needed to get back to their offices ASAP and start counting money.
