Schwing and a Miss
Chivalry ain't what it used to be. Now, instead of challenging someone to a duel, you simply threaten them with a lawsuit. At least that's what Tiger Woods did when his wife, Elin Nordegren, was lampooned in an Irish magazine.
What exactly caused Tiger to bare his (lawyers') teeth? Apparently Dubliner Magazine falsly claimed nude pictures of the fair Ms. Nordegren could be found on a number of "adult web sites." The tabloid asserts this was a joke and not meant to be taken seriously, but Woods failed to see the humor.
Nevertheless, Ms. Nordegren dominated the Buzz in the same way her husband dominates the links. Six of the top ten movers were related to fetching former model, including "elin nordegren pics," "tiger woods wife," and plain ol' "elin." The bickering is bound to blow over eventually, but until Lee Trevino has a wardrobe malfunction on the 18th green, this spat will remain golf's sexiest (and most searched-for) story.
