With Tiger Woods' marriage heading towards a divorce and his career not going the way he wants it to, things aren't looking too rosy for the golfer.
And now, a book written about him has revealed that his wife, Elin Nordegren didn't even like him at first.
According to the author of Tiger: The Real Story by Steve Helling: “Elin Nordegren was not the type of young woman to date Tiger Woods, at least not at first.
“For one thing, she had a boyfriend at home in Sweden. He was a normal, decent guy, driving a forklift in a warehouse. If things worked out with him, her life would be safe and predictable, an option that Elin actually found extremely appealing.
“Dating Tiger Woods would be just the opposite: paparazzi and tabloids would be around every corner, and Elin couldn't bear the thought of such an invasion of privacy. Besides, she really didn't find Tiger attractive; he simply wasn't her type.”
With Elin constantly refusing to go out with him, he saw it as a challenge he had to win.
“The challenge of pursuit appealed to Tiger. The more Elin declined, the more insistent Tiger became. On his fifth request, Elin finally agreed to go out with him, but only for one date. She knew he would keep asking her out until she said yes, so this would be the easiest way to get him of her back.”
Surprisingly that one date turned into quite a few and resulted in the pair getting married...probably a decision Elin is wishing she hadn't made.
