ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods’ long-anticipated divorce settlement has been finalized.

Lawyers for Elin Nordegren Woods filed the petition Monday in Panama City, Fla., to dissolve the marriage — 270 days after the bizarre SUV wreck outside their home that left the golfer needing medical attention and pulled back the curtain on a large-ensemble sex scandal.

By midday, the divorce was official. Terms of the divorce — such as how much it will cost Woods — were not disclosed.
