WINDERMERE, Fla. — Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren said she has "been through hell" since her husband's infidelity surfaced but she never hit him, according to an interview released Wednesday.

Nordegren told People magazine she and Woods tried for months to reconcile the relationship. In the end, a marriage "without trust and love" wasn't good for anyone, she said.

"There was never any violence inside or outside our home," she said. "The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just ridiculous."
