The love-cheat golfer has agreed to keep single women away from daughter Sam, three, and son Charlie, one.

He can bring a new flame into their lives only if he has married her, London’s The Sun reports.

In return, former wife Elin Nordegren, 30, gets the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce – £500 million (AU$883m).

But she can never publicly speak out over his flings with socialite Rachel Uchitel, reality star Jaimee Grubbs, porn queen ¨ and up to 17 others, who will work out costing him £25m ($44m) each.

A pal said: “Elin is desperate to protect the children from the womanising side of their father.

“Tiger’s main fear is her telling her story after he’s rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter.”

Swedish ex-nanny Nordegren ended up with double the sum she originally sought, after her lawyers proved Woods, 34, was worth much more than the £660m ($1.16B) she thought.

Her friend explained: “Elin’s legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets.

“The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life – even if Tiger dies first – or she’ll lose the lot.”

Nordegren keeps their main home in Windermere, Florida, and a nearby property – jointly worth £3million – plus an apartment in Stockholm and her island farmhouse nearby.

Woods gets a £50million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida, where they had been building a new mansion.

He will also keep their £2million apartment in Los Angeles, when the six-year marriage officially ends.

The pal said: “Everything’s signed. Elin is ready to file for divorce at Orlando County Court. She expects to in the next seven days.”

Nordegren gets sole physical custody of their kids but they will split legal custody.

That means Woods will share decisions about their future – so Nordegren will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden.

Woods – believed to be building a golf resort in Dubai and investing in the Bahamas – will be able to see the kids for up to half of each week.

He can renegotiate the custody agreement in five years.

The pal said: “Elin admits that despite everything, Tiger loves his kids and has been a decent dad.

“She is confident he will not pursue seeing the children that much, due to his work and lifestyle.”

Under the no-girlfriends deal, only married women not romantically linked to Woods will be allowed around the children – plus female members of staff known to Nordegren.

The pair threw separate birthday parties for daughter Sam last week.

Woods took his office manager Kathy to this. Nordegren also went along.

A source said: “Elin made an effort not to make it uncomfortable. They handed out goodie bags to the kids together. That was a nice moment.”

The previous most costly celebrity divorce was £100m ($176m), paid by Woods’ friend, basketball star Michael Jordan, to his wife Juanita in 2007.
