Elin Nordegren has had it with Tiger Woods. As if having your famous husband’s countless affairs made public isn’t bad enough, Nordegren’s friends are saying she’s furious about his speedy return to golf.

She doesn’t like that controversial Nike commercial he did either. To hear sources talking to People magazine tell it, Mrs. Tiger Woods is now past trying to make her marriage work -- televised public apology or not.

Nordegren is particularly peeved about the Nike ad, in which a forlorn-looking Woods gets a scolding from his late father from beyond the grave; it is said to have pushed her over the edge.

‘Elin was violently angry over this commercial and thought it was a cheesy thing to do,’ a friend of Nordegren’s told the magazine. The voice of his father, Earl Woods, was in fact pulled from an interview about his wife Kultilda, not Tiger.

Worse still, Nordegren is said to be stunned and hurt that Woods did not take more time off from golf to work on his marriage. She did not attend his return performance at the Masters, where he finished a disappointing fourth, and instead flew out of Florida without her husband and children.

‘She wouldn’t have gone near the Masters under any condition, but that just made her madder,’ the source said. ‘She is over Tiger. I wouldn’t be surprised if she files for divorce sometime soon.’

But it’s all speculation for now. There is no confirmation that Nordegren has filed any legal papers or retained a divorce attorney. [Updated 1:31 p.m.: RadarOnline is reporting that she met with a divorce attorney before flying out of Florida.]

Still, her friends say she’s done.

‘She’s so far beyond hurt now,’ the source continues. ‘If she were angry or if she hated him, they might still have a chance to work it out. But she’s beyond that. She’s numb. She just doesn’t care anymore. She’s like, ‘Whatever.’ Elin’s not the type to get all weepy or have pity parties for herself. She mourned the loss of this marriage, and now she’s moving on. It’s the only thing she can do.’
