The bevy of blonde mistresses, the trips to sex rehab, the nanny wars and the billion dollar rumors soon will become faded footnotes as Tiger Woods and his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, finalized their divorce on Monday. Providing a non-stop buffet for news outlets and divorce lawyers in Pasadena, Tiger and Elin's long, dramatic journey has come to an end.

The superstar golfer whose personal and professional lives have taken a beating the last six months may be back on the road to being just another golfer. On Monday, Woods and Nordegren were present at a Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., for the execution of their divorce agreement. Details of the settlement, which is said to include the standard division of assets and property, were kept from the press, but divorce watchers say that Nordegren could walk away with upwards of $500 million. The main issue for both Nordegren and Woods in the proceedings was the custody of their two children Sam Alexis, 3, and Charlie Axel, 18 months.

Both Woods and Nordegren have attended the state law-required four hour parenting class in order to finalize the divorce. Again, the exact provisions of the custody arrangement are mum, but shared parenting of the children, which has taken place since last November, is likely to continue under the new agreement.

"The parenting plan is in the best interest of the children," their divorce papers say. The documents also cite that Woods and Nordegren have singed a Marital Settlement Agreement which covers the custody arrangements and all financial settlements.

With well-chronicled affairs and a shocking car accident last Thanksgiving, the paperwork cites the reason for divorce only as "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken." Nordegren did sign a prenuptial agreement but it was said to have been thrown out after news of Woods' affairs became public.
