Tiger Woods: What Should Elin Do With the Ring?

Swedish beauty leaves her ring at home, but does it mean she's leaving her cheating golf-god husband for good?

If Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren's Barbados wedding cost $1.5 million, we can only imagine what the golf champion paid for the now MIA wedding ring.

And it's probably safe to assume that Elin isn't about to reveal what she's done with the sparkler. However, Elle magazine's famed (and hilarious) advice columnist E. Jean Carroll has an idea.

"I'm guessing she's so pissed off, she's destroyed it," Carroll tells us. "She's probably thrown in it into a fire or taken a hammer to it."

But get this, Carroll doesn't think Elin will divorce Woods…

"When you marry a man like that, you're attached in ways that normal human beings can't understand," Carroll said. "Mark Sanford you can leave because he's a twit. He's not really a god. You can't leave somebody like Kobe or David [Beckham] or Tiger. You just can't do it. They are too big. You can't leave Bill Clinton. It's impossible because of their gravity. They just suck you in."

But that doesn't mean Elin is running back into Tiger's arms anytime soon.

"If he wants her back, he's going to have to give her a Kobe ring—actually quadruple the Kobe ring," Carroll said. "It has to be big enough where she can not only not lift her left hand, but not lift her arm or the entire left side of her body."

For now, however, Elin's finger is bare.

"She has to show her independence from her man," Carroll said. "Going without the ring indicates that she can get along without Tiger…[and] that she now is an independent woman."
