Tiger Woods ''offered wife $5m after transgressions''

Troubled sports star Tiger Woods offered wife Elin Nordegren 5 million dollars after admitting to "trangressions" of their marriage, it has emerged.

After 3 days of rigorous negotiations, the cash was offered to Nordegren as recompense for her husband's mysterious car crash on Friday, a lawyer familiar with the case told The Daily Beast.

It is part of a deal in which the couple's pre-nuptial agreement has also been revised, reports The Telegraph.

In their original agreement signed before their October 2004 wedding, Nordegren was set to earn 20 million dollars after 10 years of marriage if they didn't last.

It has been reported that Woods and his wife are both said to be desperate to save their marriage and are undergoing counselling.

But celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder said: "I don't think the prognosis is too great for something like this unless she's willing to make some kind of deal and live with it.

"There''s a separate level of hell when you're a celebrity. You're subject to extraordinary temptation that ordinary people are not subject to."
