Though Tiger Woods has been romantically-linked to a number of women since the start of his explosive sex scandal last month, is appears likely that his wife will stay with the golfer, PEOPLE Magazine reports.

The celebrity weekly claims former Swedish model Elin Nordegren will probably stay married to her philandering husband for the sake of the couple’s two small children.

Tiger and Elin have been married for nearly six years and have two children — daughter Sam, 2, and son Charlie, 10 months. A “child of divorce,” Elin is said to have never recovered from her own parents’ split when she was six-years-old. She’s determined to keep her family together to protect her own kids from a similar fate, says a pal.

“That’s not something she’s likely going to want to do to [her children with Woods] Sam and Charlie,” a close friend of Elin told PEOPLE this week. “She really believes in the importance of parents staying together.”
