Tiger Woods' wife Elin has told friends that she has agreed to a NZ$414 million divorce settlement, according to the News of the World.

The newspaper said the 30-year-old former model told friends she received 'US$300 million' as a Christmas present from the world's number one golfer.

Since news of Woods' numerous affairs broke late last year rumours of a divorce have been circulating and the pair have not been seen together over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

According to the Swedish paper Express, Elin Woods, her twin sister, Josefinm and five friends were in Chamonix in South Eastern France on a skiing holiday on New Year's Eve.

Tiger Woods has been in seclusion for the past few weeks, but recent reports have him spotted at the Trump International Hotel in NYC, guarded by private security.

According to celebrity website TMZ, Woods checked into the hotel, under a different name, the day after New Year's Eve and locked down the entire floor with his own security.

TMZ reported that Woods had two women up to his room during his stay and he was also seen leaving with a blonde woman.

The News of the World's source claimed that Elin Woods is determined to split up with her husband.

"She's 100 percent determined to split with Tiger. When she boasted of the 'US$300m Christmas gift' and then laughed, it was clear to everyone around her that she's more focused than ever about moving on with her life.

"She still has feelings for Tiger as the father of her kids, but now her only dealings with him will be to get her and the youngsters set up in a comfortable home with everything they need. And so far Tiger has just agreed to settle for an easy life."

The source added: "Elin feels that Tiger isn't mentally well enough to spend time with her or the kids."

Woods has also reportedly stopped communicating with several of his closest aides and is considering extending his break from golf until 2012.
