EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods Wife Won't Commit To Staying Married
Feb. 19 2010, Published 4:30 a.m. ET
Tiger Woods apologized profusely to his wife Elin during his televised new conference Friday and he fiercely defended her.
One thing he didn’t do, however, is reveal if the couple will stay married.
And sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively that’s because Tiger doesn’t know.
“It’s up to Elin now,” one source who knows the couple told RadarOnline.com.
Elin did not attend the event, as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively on Thursday that she would stay away. Tiger made a last-minute push Thursday night to get her to be by his side but she refused.

“Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal,” Tiger said at the news conference. “Elin deserves praise not blame.
“I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did was not acceptable and I am the only person to blame.”
He also strenuously denied an urban legend that Elin had physically attacked him in the early morning hours after Thanksgiving, saying that there has never been an incident of domestic violence between them.

Toward the end of his statement, Tiger addressed his marriage and said: “I understand the press wants to ask me for the details... if Elin and I will remain together... as far as I am concerned every one of these questions and answers are between Elin and I.”

RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Elin and Tiger are still living in separate homes but had dinner this week two nights in a row. Elin still is not wearing her wedding ring and has not decided if she will stay in the marriage.
And while she has not spoken publicly about Tiger’s cheating, her absence at his press event Friday seemed to say quite a bit.
