Elin Woods and Tiger Woods are still officially married, but clearly living separate lives as he resumes his golf career and his estranged wife travels the globe.

It’s unlikely they could be much farther apart, literally or otherwise. They aren’t on speaking terms and she’s in China visiting her brother (8,058 miles away).

On Friday, Elin packed up the couple’s two kids, Sam, 1, and Charlie, 2, and left Orlando to visit her brother Axel in Shanghai. She’ll be there at least a week.

As for Tiger, he was back on the golf course competing in the Memorial Tournament in Ohio. He’s a respectable three-under, but tied for 26th as of right now.

“I haven’t played,” Woods told ESPN. “This is my 10th round of the year. Usually you’re like that in January. Here we are in June. I need competitive rounds.”

What was he doing in January? Oh, yeah, the sex rehab thing.

Elin Woods is clearly focusing on life after Tiger.

Despite Tiger’s astonishing double life, the couple was seemingly trying to reconcile and even making progress, spending a lot of time together early in the year.

Things grew icy between the pair prior to Tiger’s return to golf at the Masters, though. They have spoken since, and she may be moving to her native Sweden.

The impending Tiger-Elin Woods divorce is still speculative - neither party has filed any papers - but reports suggest that it’s about to get far more contentious.

Elin has decided to go for full custody of their two children, not agreeing with the joint custody offer Tiger reportedly seeks. Things could turn ugly pretty fast.

She’s also shown reluctance to abide by the confidentiality Tiger wants, leading some to think her quiet dissatisfaction with him could eventually become public.

Tiger Woods finally emerged from seclusion and apologized to family, friends, fans and business associates Friday in an emotional, 13-minute, prepared statement.

Saying he is deeply sorry for his actions and letting down pretty much the whole world, the golf legend began the long process of rebuilding his shattered image.

When and if he accomplishes that goal remains to be seen, but he is pulling out all the stops right now. Today, his young daughter’s school got a special apology.

Tiger and Elin Nordegren Woods have issued a letter of apology to the parents at the Florida school where their 2-year-old Sam Alexis Woods attends day care.

Can Tiger claw his way back to respectability?

In the letter, Tiger says he’s sorry but again blames the paparazzi as much as himself for creating an “inconvenience” around Premier Academy in Windermere.

It’s not likely to move anyone to tears (like this guy) as his mea culpa did last week, but at least Woods realizes the wide-ranging consequences of his actions.

Follow the jump for the full text of the letter …

Dear Premier Academy parents,

We would like to share our appreciation for your support over the past several months and offer our personal apology for any inconvenience you are experiencing due to the increased media scrutiny surrounding our children. We truly understand how frustrating it can be.

We hope that the paparazzi will find something better to do with their time in the near future. In the meantime, it is our goal to keep life as normal as possible for our children. We are sure that as parents you can appreciate that. For Sam, that normalcy means attending the school that she enjoys so much.

Again, we truly appreciate the support from the entire Premier Academy family.

Kind regards,
Elin and Tiger Woods

If nothing else, Woods is doing what he can to repair the damage in his personal life first. What do you think of Tiger’s apology (the public one)?
