Tiger Woods' Ex-Wife Graduates From Florida College

WINTER PARK (CBSMiami/AP) —  The ex-wife of golf star Tiger Woods' is graduating from a Florida college.

Elin Nordegren is graduating from Rollins College in Florida with a bachelor's degree in psychology.

Woods is also the recipient of the Outstanding Graduating Senior award. She finished her courses with a 3.96 GPA.

Assistant dean Sharon Lusk says Nordegren's application for the prize "spoke to the determination of a single mom to complete her degree." The school also noted her service work to help children in foster care.
