Tiger Woods's ex wife: Meet Elin Nordegren’s New Billionaire Boyfriend
Chris Cline and Elin Nordegren (Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg/Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
Elin Nordegren has a new man in her life.
The former Mrs. Tiger Woods, 33, is reportedly dating billionaire coal magnate Chris Cline, a neighbor in her upscale North Palm Beach, Florida, community called Seminole Landing."Elin was introduced to Chris by a local friend because they seem to have a lot in common," a source told People, noting that they've been dating casually and non-exclusively since the holidays. "They both have children, like to keep their personal lives quiet, believe in philanthropy, and enjoy leisure outdoor activity."
Just who is this guy? Here are five facts about Cline:
He's a college dropout, just like Woods. The 55-year-old Cline attended Marshall University in his home state of West Virginia, but he left before graduating to join the same industry that his grandfather and father had been in before him. Cline founded the thriving company Foresight Energy, and his career was praised by the local Herald-Dispatch newspaper in 2011 as "one of the industry's great success stories." Not exactly a walking ad for higher education, is he?

It's safe to say that he's not after Elin for her money. Cline is one of the richest people in the country, according to Forbes. The magazine ranked him as #377 on its latest list of American billionaires and, moreover, estimates his net worth at $1.2 billion -- that's with a b. Cline was even one of the targets of an attempted extortion plot, along with other bigwigs like movie producer Harvey Weinstein, last year. Of course, money is not a concern for Nordegren, especially since her divorce settlement from Woods was estimated at $100 million following his sex scandal.
He's a family guy. Cline has been married twice, with the first marriage ending when his wife died of breast cancer and the second ending in divorce. He has two sons and two daughters, so he'll understand the pressures of parenthood that Nordegren faces as she raises her children with Tiger, 5-year-old daughter Sam and 4-year-old son Charlie. As Cline revealed in a Bloomberg profile in 2010, he's not against falling in love again. "I just haven't had time to look for a wife," he explained.

His digs are even more impressive than you might expect. His home near Nordegren's is a 34,400-square-foot mansion on the ocean -- and that's not all. According to Bloomberg, he spends his time in Beckley, West Virginia, on a 150-acre-estate, featuring a go-kart track, a lake, and a stable of horses, goats, and llamas, referred to as a playground for his kids. Oh, and then there's his 164-foot-long yacht, big enough for 12, called Mine Games, which Cline rents out for cruises to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The luxury boat features five staterooms, each with its own bathroom and plasma TV; two dining rooms; a sun deck with a 72-inch flat-screen TV so that guests can watch movies under the stars; and a whirlpool spa.
He remembers his roots. He donated $5 million to West Virginia University and another $5 million to his former college back in 2011. In a humble statement issued after the Marshall donation, he said, "I attended Marshall University, have been fortunate to have lived and employed people in West Virginia, and owe the state of West Virginia and its people for much of my success," he said. "I wanted to give something back that will be beneficial to the people of the state."
Cline certainly sounds like relationship material for Nordegren, who ended her romance with investor Jamie Dingman last May.
Do you think Cline and Nordegren are a good match?

PAPA HABEMUS: Argentina's Bergoglio becomes new Pope Francis
- New pope is Argentina's Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the former archbishop of Buenos Aires, who takes the name Pope Francis.
- Francis, 76, is the first non-European pope in the modern era, the first South American pope and the first Pope Francis.
- Election comes on first full day of the cardinals' conclave in the Sistine Chapel.
- New pope, who succeeds Pope Benedict XVI, asks crowd to pray for him.
- Updates below; full story here; name is "most stunning"; iReport.com: Your views?
[Updated at 4:08 p.m. ET] CNN Vatican expert John Allen has reported previously, for the National Catholic Reporter, that the new pope may have been the runner-up in the 2005 election that saw Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger become Benedict XVI. Allen noted that there's no official account of that election - it is officially secret, after all - but various reports had Bergoglio coming in second in 2005.
Pope Francis asked the crowd in St. Peter's Square to pray for him. "Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor - I want you to bless me," he said.
As noted earlier, this is the first Pope Francis. Also, the name parallels one of the most venerated figures in the Roman Catholic Church, St. Francis of Assisi.
Allen described the name of Pope Francis as "the most stunning" choice and "precedent shattering."
"There are cornerstone figures in Catholicism" such as St. Francis, Allen said. Figures of such stature as St. Francis seem "irrepeatable – that there can be only one Francis," Allen added.
Read more about the new name, from CNN's Michael Martinez.
[Updated at 3:48 p.m. ET] The pope's Twitter account is active once again.
Moments after the new Pope Francis addressed the Vatican City crowd, a message on the pope's Twitter account – which had been dormant since Benedict XVI stepped down – said, "Habemus Papam Franciscum."
That translates, from Latin, as, "We have Pope Francis."
[Updated at 3:51 p.m. ET] Choosing the name Francis is powerful and ground-breaking, CNN Vatican expert John Allen says.

That translates, from Latin, as, "We have Pope Francis."
[Updated at 3:42 p.m. ET] After blessing the crowd, Pope Francis re-entered the basilica.
Here is video of his first public appearance as pope:
[Updated at 3:33 p.m. ET] The blessing is over, and the crowd roars.
Here's more about Pope Francis, the former Cardinal Bergoglio of Argentina: He is 76, and is considered a straight-shooter who calls things as he sees them, and a follower of the church's most conservative wing. He is a former archbishop of Buenos Aires.
He has clashed with the government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner over his opposition to gay marriage and free distribution of contraceptives.
Besides being the first non-European pope in the modern era, the first South American pope and the third straight non-Italian pope, he also is the first Pope Francis.
[Updated at 3:30 p.m. ET] Pope Francis has offered his blessing "to you and to the whole world." This is known as the "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) blessing.
[Updated at 3:29 p.m. ET] Pope Francis says he will shortly offer his blessing, but now he's asking the crowd to have a moment of silence to pray for him.
[Updated at 3:27 p.m. ET] Pope Francis says from the balcony (according to an English translation):
"As you know, the duty of the conclave was to appoint a bishop of Rome. It seems to me that my brother cardinals have chosen one who is from far away, but here I am.
"I would like to thank you for your embrace, also to ... the bishops, thank you very much.
"First and foremost, I would like to pray for our emeritus pope, Benedict XVI. Let us pray all of us together … so that he's blessed by the lord and guarded."
Pope Francis then said the Lord's Prayer.
[Updated at 3:23 p.m. ET] Bergoglio, the new pope, has chosen the name Francis, according to Vatican Radio. He's now appearing on the balcony.
[Updated at 3:20 p.m. ET] Bergoglio is the first pope from outside of Europe in the modern era, the first South American pope, and the third straight non-Italian pope.
(Correction notice: This post initially said that Bergoglio is the first non-European pope. We've corrected that to say he's the first non-European pope in the modern era.)
[Updated at 3:15 p.m. ET] And the new pope is: Argentina's Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
[Updated at 3:12 p.m. ET] The protodeacon is on the balcony, making the announcement.
[Updated at 3:08 p.m. ET] It is taking longer for the new pope to appear after the white smoke this year than it did for Benedict XVI to appear after his election in 2005. But, an extra step has been added this time - the new pope has been allowed to pray alone in the Pauline Chapel before he appears on the balcony.
That could account for at least some of the difference.
[Updated at 3:03 p.m. ET] It will be interesting to learn not only who the new pope is, but also what name he has chosen for himself. Popes often take a regnal name (like Benedict) that a previous pope used, and it generally is meant to point to a tone that the new pontiff wants to set, CNN senior Vatican analyst John Allen says.
For example, Pius XII, who served from 1939 to 1958, was very conservative, eminent Italian church historian Alberto Melloni told CNN. So, "if the new pope was to call himself Pius XIII, it would be a very ideological choice," he said.

[Updated at 2:48 p.m. ET] Here's what we're going to hear from the cardinal who will introduce the new pope:
"Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam! Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum (FIRST NAME OF NEW POPE) Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem (LAST NAME OF NEW POPE) qui sibi nomen imposuit (POPE’S NEW NAME)."
Roughly translated:
"I announce to you a great joy: We have a pope! The eminent and most reverend lord, Lord (FIRST NAME OF NEW POPE), Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church (LAST NAME OF NEW POPE), who has taken the name (POPE'S NEW NAME)."
[Updated at 2:41 p.m. ET] CNN senior Vatican analyst John Allen, on the moment that we will see the pope on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica: "First impressions last. ... It will be very interesting to see how the new pope comports himself here tonight and makes his introduction."
[Updated at 2:38 p.m. ET] It shouldn't be long before we find out who the new pope is. When Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, about 45 minutes passed between the appearance of the white smoke and the appearance of the cardinal who introduced the new pope.
Today, the smoke appeared just after 2 p.m. ET (7 p.m. in the Vatican).
[Updated at 2:30 p.m. ET] The crowd at St. Peter's Square continues to swell. "People are literally running up the block (so they can see the pope) when he comes out on the balcony for the first time," CNN's Anderson Cooper reports from the Vatican.
[Updated at 2:25 p.m. ET] From CNN's Jim Bittermann at the Vatican: The crowd waiting for the new pope represents all sorts of nationalities – "everybody from around the world."
"You see a lot of religious folks are here, different orders of nuns and priests, packing in all afternoon," as well as tourists, he said. "There are more people just as I'm speaking. All of the sudden there's been a surge of people coming in."
[Updated at 2:23 p.m. ET] Like the one in which Benedict XVI was chosen in 2005, this election didn't take long. The white smoke comes on just the conclave's second day.
We have a few steps to take before we learn who the new pope is. Here's what we've been told will happen next:
– The new pope will leave the Sistine Chapel to put on his papal robes, then re-enter the chapel for prayer with the cardinals.
– The cardinals will then line up to congratulate the new pope and promise their obedience to him.
– The pope will then go back to Pauline Chapel to pray for a few moments.
– Only then will the pope prepare to reveal himself to the public. At the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, proto-deacon Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran (assuming Tauran himself wasn't elected) will appear and announce the new pope's old name, and the name he will be known as from now on.
– The pope will then appear on the balcony.
[Posted at 2:09 p.m. ET] White smoke above the Sistine Chapel have made it official: The Roman Catholic Church has a new pope.
Bells are ringing at the Vatican, and thousands of people gathered in the square are cheering.
We'll find out in the minutes to come who the new pope is. Stay with us as we find out.

THE BEST IN SPORTS 2012: Usain Bolt superó a Phelps, Messi y Vettel como el mejor deportista de 2012
El atleta jamaicano ganó el Premios Laureus por su actuación en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres.
- 12/03/2013 - 09:22
Bolt sumó otro
premio por su actuación en Londres. Bolt, el plusmarquista jamaicano dueño de los récords mundiales en los 100 y 200 metros, fue galardonado por las tres medallas olímpicas de oro que conquistó en Londres el año pasado (100 y 200 metros y 4x100).
El jamaicano se impuso en esta categoría a Michael Phelps, el futbolista argentino Lionel Messi, el atleta británico Mo Farah, el alemán Sebastián Vettel, campeón mundial de Fórmula Uno, y el ciclista británico Bradley Wiggins.
Ennis fue considerada la mejor atleta femenina del año por su puntuación récord de 6.955 puntos que le permitió colgarse la medalla de oro en el heptatlón en Londres 2012.
Su tiempo en los 100 metros con vallas también fue récord británico, lo que también le hizo merecedora del título de Atleta Femenina Europea del año.
Bolt obtuvo su tercer Laureus como mejor deportista masculino tras los premios de 2009 y 2010, en tanto que Ennis se adjudicó por primera vez el galardón como mejor deportista femenina.
El conjunto europeo de golf capitaneado por el español José María Olazábal que venció la Copa Ryder ganó en la categoría de mejor equipo, y el dominicano Félix Sánchez, campeón olímpico de los 400 metros vallas, se impuso en retorno deportivo de 2012.
El tenista británico Andy Murray logró el premio a la mayor revelación del año por sus dos oros en Londres 2012 y el nadador brasileño Daniel Dias, que acumuló seis medallas de oro en los Paraolímpicos de Londres, se llevó el galardón al mejor atleta con capacidades diferentes.
El austríaco Felix Baumgartner, récord mundial de caída libre por su salto estratosférico de 39.045 metros, ganó el Laureus al mejor deportista de acción del año.
La Academia Laureus también entregó un Premio Especial al nadador estadounidense Michael Phelps en su condición de mayor medallista en la historia olímpica, y un reconocimiento al ex atleta británico Sebastian Coe, por su papel como organizador de los "exitosos" Juegos Olímpicos y Paraolímpicos del año pasado.
La Academia Laureus World Sports es la que entrega, desde el 2000, este premio, para el que votan 42 ex deportistas de elite
UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2013: Barcelona, Messi y Sánchez necesitan demostrar ante el Milan que están "vivos"
El elenco catalán debe dar vuelta el 2-0 de la ida para avanzar a cuartos de la Liga de Campeones. En vivo desde las 16.45.
12/03/2013 - 07:12 Para Barcelona
fue un duro golpe la caída ante el Milan en el duelo de ida. La derrota ante el Milan tuvo efectos prolongados en el Barcelona, que cayó luego en dos ocasiones consecutivas ante el Real Madrid, incluyendo las semifinales la Copa del Rey.
Desde la prensa a las redes sociales, los hinchas del Barcelona se volcaron bajo una misma consigna: se puede. Y alentaron la idea de que la remontada es posible si el equipo recupera las características por las que destacaba hace poco. Desde la presión defensiva hasta la profundidad en ataque.
La principal duda es ver si el Barcelona seguirá apostando por su conocido esquema 4-3-3 o si cambiará, por ejemplo a una zaga con tres jugadores, si retrocederá a Messi para sumar otro atacante o si Roura se arriesgará con un trío formado por Alexis Sánchez, David Villa y Messi.
El chileno, gracias a su actuación ante el Deportivo (un gol y una asistencia), salió del lado oscuro y se convirtió en una alternativa para el ataque.
El Milan llega en su mejor momento de la temporada. Es tercero en la Liga italiana, a dos puntos del Napoli y a 11 de la Juventus, pero hace días que sólo vive para el partido de Liga de Campeones.
En el club italiano descartaron que el equipo se vaya a refugiar en el Camp Nou. "No está en un nuestro ADN", aseguró su director general, Adriano Galliani.
