Agreed and I think you are understating the case.

wtf. I would totally hit it (even after she's had babies), but that's not a very good picture of her.

Tiger doesn't want to "defend himself", that is the point of doing a private settlement. He pays her to stay quiet and not make a public scene. Given everything that is already out there, I think it's obvious that there are some skeletons lurking in the closet.

supposedly she's getting $100,000,000.00... (tmz). its still a shit load but seems a bit low considering looks like a win win situation (except for the kids).

The 100 mil amount makes more sense. I would've doubted Tiger even made 750 mil in the 6 years they were married. TMZ says he's only worth 500-600 mil. Small timer.

I'm not saying what is fair or not fair, but that kind of money gets the public all riled up. just like the former NYSE chairman Richard Grasso who was given a retirement payout proposed to be in the $140,000,000.00 range. It may have even been a fair payout, but because it was so big people (especially the NYSE board) went up and arms and they had to restructure the bill. i'm just arguing the numbers and perception warps when the amount gets to that kind of level. i could see her getting it if she was the victim of domestic abuse, but if its cheating then he can always play the "she was frigid+ i have a sex addiction" card and have the religious right side starts squawking about its the job of the woman to "perform wifely duties and keep her man happy".
This is wrong, even if it wasn't now known to be closer to $100M. A court can't step into a private agreement and say "WHOA! You were gonna give the bitch HOW much to keep her mouth shut?! The public won't stand for it, regardless of what two sophisticated people with independent legal representation decided upon!" There is nothing against public policy in the agreement. Grasso, on the other hand, caused public outrage because the compensation committee was loaded and at the time the NYSE was a not-for-profit falling under the ambit of state regulation. Hence Grasso winning on appeal now that the NYSE is a for profit private org. And that, children, is today's lesson in corporate law. Tomorrow we will go behind the scenes in Conrad Black and Jeffrey Skilling' separate, but oh so related, exonerations! Til then my pups!

I thought so. I could swear I saw her at the 99 Cents Only store earlier today.

Consider it this way - she wanted blood and has family money. A legal team paid on contingency looking at settlement of $250MM to $750MM to $1B can put a lot of resources into that fight and she still can destroy him publicly even after the nastiness of a divorce trial. He'd lose his existing equity and, assuming loss of sponsorships, diminished ability to generate future revenues.

I think Tiger is taking a gamble in assuming he can still play at elite levels. With his knee, I'm not sure if that's true anymore.

The flaw in your argument is that in most states, domestic relations attorneys are prohibited from working on a contingency. Either flat rate (rare) or billed by the hour.
