Elin Nordegren, the wife of pro-golfer Tiger Woods, is reportedly set to divorce him, various U.S. media reported Wednesday

Elin Nordegren, the wife of pro-golfer Tiger Woods, is reportedly set to divorce him, according to various U.S. media.

In its upcoming issue, People magazine cites a source who confirmed the former Swedish model and nanny will split from the billionaire athlete after reports surfaced that he had extramarital affairs with at least 14 women.

"She's made up her mind; there's nothing to think about," People's source says in the article, which comes out Friday. "He's never going to change."

Several media reported this week that Nordegren has been seen recently without her wedding ring.

ABC News reported on its website that a source said, "Divorce is 100 per cent on … 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."

However, NBC said the breakup is imminent.

"She and Tiger are living separately now, but she'll be making this split very open and official right after Christmas," NBC said, citing a source.

"Elin is not going to be one of these 'stand by her man' women ...This is beyond embarrassing, and she has a daughter and son she has to think about, who will know about this one day. Forgiveness isn't exactly around the corner."

Married in 2004, the couple have a two-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 10-month-old son, Charlie.
