ABC News, NBC News and People magazine, all citing unnamed sources close to Nordegren, reported that she will split with Woods following his admission of infidelity and reports that at least 14 women had affairs with the golf icon.

"Divorce is 100 percent on," ABC News' website reported a source saying. "She's not rushing to divorce, however. She's going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything."

Nordegren, who has two Tiger's children, two-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie, has met with lawyers to renegotiate her prenuptial agreement with Woods, People magazine reported.

"She plans to leave Tiger," one source was quoted as saying.

NBC News reported that Nordegren's recent trips to a gas station and Thai restaurant without her wedding ring were meant to signal her plans.

"She and Tiger are living separately now but she'll be making this split very open and official right after Christmas," NBC reported one source as saying.
