Tiger Woods Weds Sweddish Model Girlfriend in Barbados
SANDY LANE BEACH, Barbados - Tiger Woods married Swedish model Elin Nordegren as a Caribbean sunset painted a spectacular array of colors across the sky over an exclusive resort in Barbados, according to witnesses.
Celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and former NBA stars Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley were among guests seen by a reporter perched on a hill overlooking the club house of the Sandy Lane resort golf course.
The Barbados Daily Nation quoted unidentified sources who said the wedding cost $3 million. The couple appeared to be guarding the traditional day of no contact on the wedding day.
'Privacy' was the name of the yacht where the bride, a 24-year-old model who met Woods while she was being nanny to the children of a fellow golfer, had remained offshore before a celebration under white-netted pagoda and red roses.
But an AP photographer caught Woods on film early Tuesday, before the wedding, carrying scuba equipment from the yacht to a small attached dive boat. It had minor engine trouble before it took off with a smiling Woods stretching one arm into the sea.
Shirtless and grinning, Woods then took a turn at the wheel, according to exclusive photographs from The Associated Press.
At the ceremony, she wore an off-white sleeveless gown. Woods wore a beige suit.
The couple had refused to respond to reports of the wedding, and there still was no official confirmation of its happening by Tuesday night — hours after the event.
