God, who writes this trash? Why would Tiger sign a post-nup
unilaterally giving her $300 million without any clauses preventing her
from divorcing him anyway? That's crazy. His attorneys would never
let him sign such an agreement.

Hmmm, how about a post-nup that pays her $100 million if she doesn't
divorce him within the next five years, with a declining scale of
payouts over the next twenty years that theoretically adds up to $300
million if _neither_ of them files for divorce. Because that makes
good business sense for him. A face-saving salvage of the marriage for
five years (and I'm sure there are clauses in there requiring her to
make it look semi-sincere) is worth more than $100 million to him in
recouped endorsement money.

Oh wait, read the original article again: that's exactly how you could
interpret the terms, they just worded to make a "TIGER SHELLS OUT $300
MILLION TO EX!" headline plausible. Gah, tabloid trash.
