Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren demolishes $11.7 million home

How the beach-front mansion looked in March 2011 after Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren payed $11.7m for the house

Nordegren has just demolished the $11.7 million pad - so she can build a better home on the same plot, TMZ  reports.

Nordegren bought the North Palm Beach home in March, eight months after she finalised her divorce from her cheating husband and received a whopping $97.5 million settlement.

It was thought that the Swedish former model would move into the sprawling six-bedroom, eight-bathroom property with her two children by Woods, but instead she knocked the whole place down.

She has hired a top architect to help build her a new dream home, and every worker involved in the project is required to sign a confidentiality agreement, according to TMZ.

It was not known when the 32 year old's new pad will be completed, and in the meantime, she is living in a nearby mansion inside the private community.
