London (ANI): Scandal-hit Tiger Woods' wife has been spotted without her wedding ring, strengthening rumors that the golfer's marriage has come to an end. Elin Nordegren reportedly had no gold band and diamond engagement ring on her finger, when she stopped for petrol, while taking a car trip from the couple's house in Windermere with her two kids.

However, much couldn't be said about her mood, as she donned sunglasses. Meanwhile, reports have come that the 29-year-old blonde is in touch with divorce lawyers and plans to part ways with the sportsman in the New Year.

"She's putting on a brave face but she's hurting terribly," the Sun quoted a source as saying. The insider added: "Tiger is doing everything he can to save his marriage but I can't see them getting through this. The wounds are too deep."
