'I never hit Woods', says ex-wife

Tiger Woods's ex-wife Elin Nordegren said she has "been through hell" since news of her husband's serial infidelity surfaced but insisted that she never hit him, according to an interview released today.

Nordegren told People magazine that she and Woods tried for months to reconcile their relationship but, in the end, a marriage "without trust and love" wasn't good for anyone.

The world No1 golfer's private life became public in November 2009 after he drove his car over a fire hydrant and into a tree outside the couple's Florida home. The incident sparked a series of shocking revelations that Woods had been cheating on his wife. The couple officially divorced on Monday. Nordegren said that she never hit Woods on the night of the car crash.
