Tiger Woods And Ex Wife Gets Along Really Well

A lot has happened since Tiger Woods dominated the PGA Tour.

The 42-year-old athlete, once the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world, has struggled in the 2018 Masters‚ but his ranking has been steadily improving over the past year. (He was at No. 1,199 in 2017. As of April 8, he's now at No. 103.)

As Woods works on his comeback, his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, lives a quiet life in South Florida. Last month, she put her North Palm Beach mansion on the market for $49.5 million to "downsize."

Nordegren —who shares two kids, daughter Sam, 10, and son Charlie, 9, with Woods — famously purchased a home on the 1.4 acre waterfront parcel back in 2011 for $12.25 million using part of her reported $100 million divorce settlement from Woods and demolished it to build a three-story, custom residence.

Things are decidedly calmer for Woods and Nordegren than they were in 2009, when the golfer became embroiled in a shocking sex scandal as numerous women came forward alleging extramarital affairs. The couple divorced in August 2010.

But a source close to the golfer says that the former couple gets along well now. "They're friends now," the insider tells PEOPLE. "Everything that happened in the past is in the past. They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the kids. So they get along really well."

"Tiger says really great things about Elin," the source continues. "He never complains about her, ever. He never says things like, 'Oh, my ex is being unreasonable.' On the contrary, he talks about her in glowing terms. They're closer now than they were when they were married. The kids love them both."

Nordegren continued her education after the split. She is scheduled to get a master's degree in psychology next month.

Woods rarely talks about his marital woes, but he gave a candid interview to TIME magazine in 2015, explaining his relationship with Nordegren.

"She's one of my best friends," he said. "We're able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then."

Woods told the magazine that he has come clean with his kids about the events leading to the divorce. "I've taken the initiative with the kids, and told them up front, 'Guys, the reason why we're not in the same house, why we don't live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes,' " he said.

But the Woods source tells PEOPLE that Nordegren, 38, doesn't hold Woods' past against him when it comes to co-parenting. "Elin is not someone who uses the kids as a weapon," the source says. "When Tiger wants to see his children, Elin makes sure that he can. She is a really classy woman."

In 2014, Nordegren told PEOPLE that things between her and Woods are "really good."

"I have moved on and I am in a good place," she said. "My relationship with Tiger is centered around our children and we are doing really good — we really are — and I am so happy that is the case. He is a great father."

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...
