Tiger's checkbook

This guy is really becoming a joke. The Daily Beast reports of negotiations in which Woods' wife Elin has been offered a $5 million payment if she agrees to stay. An immediate payment. Also, her prenup is being adjusted upward - to as much as $80 million. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker broke the basics this morning and the Beast now has some numbers. All this, by the way, was leaked by a lawyer who is described as "familiar with the hastily conducted negotiations." From the Daily Beast:

Tiger's advisers, who have successfully gotten the couple into counseling sessions, believe that keeping the marriage intact will help Tiger keep his corporate sponsors and bolster his dented image. Elin is herself considered a good asset. She's never been a publicity hound or used her marriage to make money through self-help books, lecture series, or QVC makeup and jewelry lines. Rather, she's just maintained a low profile and dedicated herself to being a spouse and mother. As opposed to some other celebrities, like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie, Elin has never pushed her kids into the public eye. So, now, if she is persuaded to stay, she knows little will be the same. Her quiet life is finished. A Los Angeles-based paparazzo told me that a photo of Elin and the children would fetch $250,000. Some agencies are offering $100,000 just for tips that pay off with photos.
