Bookie taking bets on Elin’s payout

Tiger’s wife, Elin Nordegren is set to land a whopping $500m divorce settlement according to Ireland’s biggest bookie Paddy Power.

The bookie is taking bets on how much her settlement will be following news that she is set to meet celebrity lawyer Sorrell Trope.

The most likely outcome of a California divorce could leave Tiger on the wrong end of a payout of between $100m and $500m at red hot odds of 1/2, with a worst case scenario of more than $500m at 25/1.

With Tiger’s sponsors seemingly dropping like flies, AT&T now head the list of the next to jump ship. And with news that Elin is talking sponsorship with Puma, Paddy Power are taking bets on who will buck the trend and sign a new sponsorship deal with the world’s most talked about man.

Ambien is favourite at 4/1 to head the charge to sign Woods after hitting the headlines as his alleged pre-sex sleeping pill of choice, ahead of being a player for John Player at 6/1 and giving Red Bull wings at 8/1.

Many commentators have also raised an eyebrow that all of Tiger’s alleged squeezes to date have been white, Paddy Power are offering odds of 4/1 that the next lady to claim an affair with Tiger is black.

Paddy Power said, “No matter what way you look at it, everyone is talking Tiger – there’s got to be plenty of brands out there who’d sign him straight away. And if our divorce settlement betting is accurate he’s going to need every penny he can get!”

Paddy Power bet:

4/1 Next lady to claim an affair with Tiger to be black.
