Tiger Woods Biography: Elin Wasn’t Keen at First


There’s a new Tiger Woods biography out there, and one of the interesting claims made by author Steve Helling is that Elin Nordegren wasn’t really into Woods from the get-go.

“Tiger; The Real Story” explains, "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."
Helling continues, "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."

"The challenge of the 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 off her back."
