And Elin Nordegren, 30, sounded friendly as she chatted to the disgraced golf champ from her luxury chalet in the French Alps.

Tiger, 34, made two calls to the Swedish beauty from their Florida mansion as she celebrated her 30th birthday with family and friends in the exclusive ski resort of Chamonix.

Elin took the calls on speakerphone within earshot of chalet staff so her daughter Sam, two, and 10-month-old son Charlie could also hear their dad.

Chalet worker Chris May said: "From what I heard they didn't argue once. They seemed quite friendly on the phone. It was almost like they were back together."

Tiger, who has been accused of a string of illicit affairs, then said to his children: "Daddy misses you all."

Chris told The People: "The children were upset. They missed their dad and Sam wanted to speak to him. We were told they'd been travelling constantly for the last two weeks.

"They seemed tired and were missing home. Tiger was asking them what they'd been doing that day.

"He said 'Have you had a nice day? Did you enjoy skiing? I love you both very much. Daddy misses you all'.


"Sam replied, 'I love you too,' and then Elin went to her bedroom to have a private phone conversation with him.

"But Sam wouldn't let go of her hand.

She wanted to speak to her dad again, so Elin took her by the hand and led her downstairs as well.

Elin and the kids arrived on Christmas Day in Tiger's private jet at Cointrin private airfield in Switzerland.

They stayed at the s5,000-a-night Chalet Prarion with Elin's twin sister Josefin, her lawyer husband Daniel and two other couples.

Elin, who has not been seen with her husband since the scandal exploded five weeks ago, was accompanied by six French bodyguards and a nanny.

Chalet worker Chris said: "Elin was a really late addition to the party because we had to set up a bed for her in the basement where I was sleeping.

"I think she had doubts about coming in the first place because it was all couples.

"She didn't get very much sleep because the children were crying all the time. They cried right through the night and woke her constantly.

"Elin and her nanny had to tend to them all the time to calm them down.

"She'd wake up at 6.30am every morning after having hardly any sleep and then hit the slopes."

The group celebrated Elin and Josefin's birthday on New Year's Eve by having a party in the sevenbedroom chalet, which features a hot tub and full staff including a chef. They made use of a private cocktail bar and drank mojito cocktails, Martinis and champagne before heading out into Chamonix town centre.

There they booked in at Swedish restaurant Munchies Bar, paying 120 euros per person for a threecourse meal with champagne.

After the meal the bar turned into a disco, with DJs and party-goers dancing on the table tops.

A barwoman at Munchies said: "We had 60 people in missing daddy here during New Year's Eve and had a great party. Elin was here but she wasn't treated like a celebrity. She was just like any other person, out to have a good time, a drink and a dance."

Chris said: "The night after her birthday she didn't get up until 10.30am which is unusual for her because she is such an early riser. She had a hangover and was in a mood."

Talented skier Elin left yesterday to fly back to Florida with her children. She has not been seen with Tiger since the car crash outside their mansion following revelations about his alleged affair with New York socialite Rachel Uchitel.

The incident exposed the world-famous golf star as a party-going love rat with a string of lovers behind Elin's back - a starkly different reality to the clean-cut image which has earned him a billion-dollar fortune through sponsorship deals.


Us Tv show Entertainment Tonight reported that Woods and Uchitel cosied up together at a house party last Sunday.

The show's website even claims they are living together in Palm Beach, Florida.

The scandal has wiped up to s7.5billion off the stock value of nine of Tiger's sponsors.

Experts at the University of California say the worst-hit firms are Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf, Gatorade and Nike. Each dipped around four per cent.
