Elin Nordegren Woods settled her libel case against The Dubliner magazine in the High Court in Dublin for a reported sum of $183,250 and an apology.

She has indicated that the settlement will be donated to a cancer charity in honour of Heather Clarke.

Elin Nordegren Woods, welcomed the outcome of the case. She said “The false and deeply offensive article in The Dubliner magazine, with the accompanying photograph of another woman wrongly claimed to be me, caused great personal distress to me and my family,”.

Trevor White, publisher of The Dubliner, conceded that the article “was cheap, tasteless, and deliberately offensive. It was also completely untrue. The photograph was not of Ms. Nordegren Woods. There are no such photographs of Ms. Nordegren Woods on internet sites or elsewhere. Ms. Nordegren Woods has never posed, or been photographed, nude. The story was utterly and comprehensively false,” White said.
