Tiger Woods Flees To Bahamas On Luxury Yacht - Without His Wife Elin
Shamed golf star Tiger Woods is reported to have fled to the Bahamas on his luxury £14million yacht.
He was joined in the 155ft vessel called Privacy by a group of golfing pals - and not his wife Elin Nordegren.
A limo with blacked out windows was seen arriving at Old Port Cover in North Palm Beach, Florida, where the yacht has been moored for over a week.
The boat slipped its mooring over the weekend with staff at the marina speculating that it was headed to the Bahamas.
Extra provisions were seen being loaded on the yacht before it departed.
Woods, 33, has not been seen in public since being linked with more than 12 women and admitted he had cheated on his wife.
Elin, 29, is said to be planning to spend Christmas in her native Sweden with her family before filing for divorce.
According to People magazine an unnamed friend said Woods planned to cruise around the Bahamas over the Christmas break.
'Tiger's boat Privacy has been docked at Old Port Cove in North Palm Beach for more than a week,' the source told the magazine.
On Saturday morning, after stocking up on provisions from Costco the boat left town.'
Tight security has been in force at the marina after Wood's yacht arrived.
Its crew had attempted to conceal the yacht's name by draping a sheet over the bow of the vessel.
The luxury yacht has all the comforts of home, including a gym, Jacuzzi and sky lounge bar.
It also has a 12,000 gallon fuel tank that gives it a range of 4,000 miles.
Tiger Woods' Mother Is Angry And Disappointed Over Son's Infidelity
Tiger Woods' mother has hit out at her son, saying she is 'angry and disappointed' with him, according to a family friend.
However, Kultida Woods has vowed to stand by her 33-year-old son, despite being 'furious' over his infidelity.
'[She] is hurt, angry and disappointed in Tiger,' the friend told People magazine.
'She wants to know how he could do this to his family.'
But, despite reportedly dealing with infidelity in her own marriage, 65-year-old Kultida is trying to forgive her son, according to the source.
'She loves him and will support him through anything, but she needs some time to work through this.'
'It was devastating to her. She likes Elin, and adores her grandchildren.
'She's worried about them. She doesn't want to see them hurt,' said the family friend.
Woods' father, Earl Woods, who died from prostate cancer a couple of years ago, was allegedly unfaithful to Thai-born Kultida several years ago.
The golfer was said to have been 'devastated' when he learned of his father's infidelity.
Kultida's anger comes as Elin Woods prepares for divorce and a custody battle over her and Woods' two young children, Sam, two, and Charlie, ten months.
Woods is thought to have cheated on Elin with up to 14 mistresses.
It is reported the ex-model had been prepared to discuss joint custody arrangements with Woods, but his refusal to see a doctor for his reported sex addiction has prompted Elin, 29, to limit his involvement in the children's lives.
One of Elin's close friends told the Sunday Mirror: 'She can't believe Tiger's behaviour. He says he wants to save the marriage, but he's not doing anything about it.
'He's hiding out like a child and refusing to go to rehab to get the treatment he needs. She's so mad at him, she's flipping out.
Everyone wants Tiger to get treatment and going down that road was his only real chance of delaying the divorce, but he wouldn't even sit through therapy.
'Elin has had enough now,' the friend told the newspaper. 'She's made up her mind that she's going for custody.'
It is reported that Elin will instruct her lawyer, legendary Hollywood divorce specialist Sorrell Trope, to fight for half of Woods' £340million fortune along with full custody of the children.
But legal experts told the Sunday Mirror Elin is unlikely to win full custody as Woods' home state of Florida is 'dad-friendly' and his serial cheating would not count unless Elin can prove his behaviour made him 'a detriment' to his children.
