It appears Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren have struck a deal regarding their marriage, says nymag.com.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the terms of the deal are as follows: Tiger gets to remain married and Elin gets a seven-figure transfer into her personal bank account and a re-written prenup. Together, they get several-times-a-day marriage counselling.
The Daily Beast reports that as of Wednesday evening, the deal is that Elin gets US$5 million just to stay, and the prenup agreement is being revised to give her up to an additional $55 million.
If they ever divorced, Elin could receive a record-breaking settlement.
According to Us magazine, Elin signed a prenuptial agreement at the time of her marriage to Woods worth a reported $300 million, topping the previous record for celebrity divorces held by Michael Jordan's wife, Juanita, who received approximately $150 million.
In addition to the settlement, Us reports that the couple -married since 2004 -- own a $2.6 million home in Florida, a 155-foot $22 million yacht and a $39 million mansion on Jupiter Island, Fla.
Woods and Nordegren, a former swimsuit model, met during the British Open in 2001. At the time, Nordegren was a nanny for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. The couple began dating and married in October of 2004 on a golf course in Barbados.
