DUBLIN MAGAZINE MUST PAY TIGER'S
WIFE $183,250 FOR UNTRUE AND
OFFENSIVE ARTICLE

Tiger Woods' wife Eilin won $183,250 and a grovelling apology today in a Dublin court from an Irish magazine that published an abusive article and a faked nude photo of her during the Ryder Cup match in September 2006.
Trevor White, publisher of "The Dubliner" magazine, conceded that the article "was cheap, tasteless, and deliberately offensive. It was also completely untrue."
"The false and deeply offensive article in 'The Dubliner' magazine, with the accompanying photograph of another woman wrongly claimed to be me, caused great personal distress to me and my family," said Mrs Woods.
She would donate the money to a cancer charity in honour of Heather Clarke, the wife of Northern Ireland golfer Darren Clarke who died of cancer before the Ryder Cup tournament.
As part of the settlement accepted by a Dublin court, "The Dubliner" must publish its lengthy apology in a variety of venues, including in its next issue. If the magazine fails to meet the conditions the award will be increased to $366,500 and the publishers will have to pay Nordegren Woods' legal costs.
