sport news Who is Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods' ex-wife and mother of his two children, ... trends now
Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods publicly reunited on Wednesday to celebrate their son Charlie's high school state golf championship in Palm Beach, Florida.
The former spouses, who are said to co-parent very well together, have rarely been spotted together in the intervening years since their well-publicised 2010 divorce after Woods' numerous infidelities left their marriage in tatters.
But the pair remain committed parents to Charlie, 15, and their 16-year-old daughter Samantha, and there was no sign of ancient history as the pair posed for photos with their delighted son.
Here, Mail Sport breaks down Nordergren and Woods' relationship from start to finish, and looks at what the Swedish mother-of-four is doing now.

Born in Stockholm, former teenage model Nordegren began working as an au pair for her compatriot, golfer Jesper Parnevik. Relocating to the United States full time, the then-21-year-old was reported besieged by romantic overtures from Parnevik's peers on the Tour.
She met Woods at the 2001 Open Championship, and after turning him down a number of times, agreed to go on a date with him - despite having a boyfriend in Sweden at the time.
After getting to know the PGA Player of the Year, Nordegren started dating Woods more seriously, before golfer proposed at the Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa.

The pair married in October 2004 on the 19th hole at the ultra-exclusive Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, with Woods renting the luxury hotel for a week. In total, the wedding is thought to have cost over £2million.
Hootie and the Blowfish and Kelly Clarkson performed at the wedding reception, and Woods and Nordegren are reported to have had 500 roses delivered to the Caribbean resort.
The couple were later based in Florida, with houses in Isleworth, an upmarket enclave in Orlando, and Jupiter Island, where they built a £41m mansion Woods moved into after their split.
Do they have any children together?The former spouses have two children: Samantha and Charlie. Both of the teenagers are keen golfers, with the latter competing alongside his father for the fourth time in December's PNC Championship Pro-Am.
