08/23/2010 - Panama City, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have divorced.
They will share custody of their two children, acording to a release posted Monday on the golfer's website.
Lawyers for both sides confirmed the divorce in the release, which said a judgment was entered Monday at Bay County Circuit Court ending the marriage between Woods and his Swedish former wife.
Woods and Nordegren released a joint statement on his website.
"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," the statement read. "While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us.
"Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
Monday's announcement ended speculation about the couple's status.
Woods' early-morning car accident last November led to revelations of infidelity and the resulting scandal prompted him to take months off from the game until his return at The Masters.
Woods lost several endorsement deals and this season has not gone well.
He has not won on tour, missed a cut, withdrew from The Players Championship with a neck injury and suffered his worst professional score and finish in a tournament a few weeks back at the WGC-Bridestone Invitational, a tournament he won seven times.
Woods is in the field this week at The Barclays, the first event of the 2010 FedEx Cup playoffs. He won the FedEx Cup twice, including last year, but due to his poor play, he enters the event ranked 112th on the points list. The top 100 on the list advance to the Deutsche Bank Championship, so Woods will need a strong finish just to get into the field next week.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
