Wood’s ex: ‘been through hell’

Golf: Elin Nordegren said she never had an inkling.

“I’ve been through hell,” Nordegren said in an interview with People magazine released Wednesday, two days after she and Tiger Woods were officially divorced. “It’s hard to think you have this life, and then all of a sudden – was it a lie?”

She and the couple’s children, 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and 18-month-old son Charlie, have settled a mile from her ex-husband in a gated community in Windermere, Fla.

Many wondered if Nordegren had a hand in the car accident last Thanksgiving that eventually brought Woods’ infidelities to light.

“The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous,” Nordegren said.

Nordegren said she had never suspected Woods of cheating

“I felt stupid as more things were revealed – how could I not have known anything?” Nordegren said. “The word betrayal isn’t strong enough.”

Still, Nordegren said the couple tried for months to reconcile. In the end, Nordegren said she decided that a marriage “without trust and love” wasn’t good for anyone.
