TIGER TIED

By Rebecca Winters

Finally, a plausible explanation for TIGER WOODS' recent subpar game: the former No. 1 golfer, now ranked third, was busy playing wedding planner. Woods, 28, married his Swedish sweetie, ELIN NORDEGREN, 24, last week at a swank and secluded Barbados resort. As bridesmaids in seafoam green dresses and guests Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley looked on, the couple said, "I do," amid armed guards and thousands of roses. To start their honeymoon, the duo boarded a yacht called Privacy. We assume the Leave Us the Heck Alone cruiser was booked.
