Tiger Woods just had a terrible weekend on the golf course — but it looks like he and Elin will be sharing custody of the kids after a divorce.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have finally found something to agree upon: They both need to take care kids after they split, assuming they do.

RadarOnline.com reports this morning that Tiger and Elin have decided to share custody of their kids — daughter Sam, 3, and son Charlie, 1, in a divorce. “They have not been getting along as a married couple but there has been no conflict over the children,” says a source. “They both want what’s best for the kids.”

Adds the source, “This isn’t going to get ugly. They’ve both made sure of that.”

As far as the divorce goes, any hope of a reconciliation is fading fast. Elin confronted Tiger about it while he was at dinner with friends. “She was screaming so loudly that everyone at the table could hear what he was saying,” a source told the magazine. And she yelled for all to hear that this would be pushing her to divorce.”

It is now being reported Tiger has hired attorney Thomas Sasser, an expert in enforcing international child custody agreements. TMZ says, “the goal is for Sasser and lawyers from Elin’s team to work out an agreement before divorce papers are filed.” His hiring seems to suggest Tiger’s children will split their time between the United States and their mother’s home country of Sweden. Sasser’s former clients include NASCAR star Jeff Gordon.

Yeah I would have to say in all his interviews when he talks about life changing events he’s talking about the DIVORCE… just hope they can be civil for the children, because they for sure have done nothing to deserve this….And he will be the one explaining to the cubs when they are old enough!

What is with calling Elin “Toxic”? She has been a good mother to the children and has kept herself out of the spotlight unlike all the “women” who have come forth. Her life has been torn apart and she has been a dignified young lady and has conducted herself with dignity. Tiger and Elin will both be good parents to the children. Why are you trying to pit one against the other – there are too many tabloids that are doing that job just fine. Only Elin and Tiger truly know what is said in their daily lives and this is no one’s business but theirs.

PARDON ME, BONNIE…THIS IS NO GIFT, IT IS TIGERS RIGHT, HE WOULD HAVE FOUGHT HER AND WON…SHE IS A GOLDIGGER, SO WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WILL DO. MAIN THING IS SHE HAS BEEN SO TOXIC, LATELY THEY ARE BETTER OFF WITH THEIR DADDY. LEAVE IT ALONE. SHE IS GETTING THAT SHE HAS BEEN THE SICK ONE LATELY, I SURE DO HOPE.

How has she the “sick one” lately? I wonder if anyone, walking in the same shoes would handle any better or worse…but we’re not. She’s probably doing the best she can. She’s kept her comments private and not sold out to any tear filled interviews or constant quotes as so many celebs do and many women would in her shoes. From what Ive seen she’s been focused on her kids. Unless you are a close, personal and trusted friend/ family member any assumptions are based on tabloid hearsay and speculation. I for one am just happy the kids are being put first by both of them. One small positive step in this siuation.

Good for them. Let’s hope that Tiger takes the opportunity to spend as much time on his kids as he did texting and being with all those party girls.

TIGER HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD DAD ALL ALONG. LOOK AT ELINS BEHAVIOR WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. HER ANGER AND RAGE HAS BEEN VERY DAMAGING. BE REAL HERE. TIGER HAS DONE REHAB, AND DOES NEED TO FOLLOW UP, HOWEVER, AND CONTINUE HIS HEALING. HE WILL.
