Golf | Golf | Magazine owes Woods' wife money, apology | Seattle Times Newspaper: "Golf | Magazine owes Woods' wife money, apology By The Associated Press and Reuters Related * PGA leaderboard DUBLIN, Ireland — The wife of top-ranked Tiger Woods won $183,250 and an apology Friday from an Irish magazine that published an abusive article and a faked nude photo of her. Elin Nordegren Woods received the money as part of a settlement of a libel action brought against The Dubliner magazine in November 2006. The former swimsuit model said the money would be donated to cancer-support charities in memory of Heather Clarke, the late wife of British golfer Darren Clarke. Trevor White, publisher of The Dubliner, conceded the article — published in September 2006 when Ireland was hosting the Ryder Cup — 'was cheap, tasteless, and deliberately offensive. It was also completely untrue.' The article angered Woods during the first day of competition, which the United States lost to Europe. The article's headline described the U.S. golfers' wives as 'Ryder Cup filth.'"
